    The GVs do seem good and people seem to get good milages out of em. Oldsteve on here has had one for a long time and loves it.

    +1 for the GV250 but im surprised no one suggested the Suzuki VL250 Intruder (cruiser) very similar to the GV but not EFI in the newer models, able to be picked up around your budget for the more recent ones. (traded mine for 4k, on the lot now for 5k) And able to do highway speeds easily. I had a top speed of 117 (GPS Verified) on mine but I have a larger load and more wind resistance than most

    The Kymco Venox is a very nice-looking and big 250 cruiser bike. Its up-turned v-twin pipes are distinctive and make it sound like a bigger-engined bike. There are a couple on TM now for very good prices.

    The Venox is actually a licensed clone of the Honda Magna 250 aka VT250c or V25 in some countries. Kymco basically built the bike for Honda and sent them to Japan to be badged. Good grunt for a 250 cruiser and a comfortable ride. Worth checking out...
