Opinions please, Suzuki VL250

The VL250 will be fine for most riding around town and shorter trips on the highway but you will very quickly be wanting more torque for the hills. The 650 Yammie is a good bike and owners really like them. I had the Suzuki C50T and it was everything I wanted in a bike. Fast or slow, one-up or two-up, it did everything we wanted. Economical too! I suggest trying a couple out before you make your mind up.

It really depends a lot on you, some people are not confidant enough to have a more powerful & heaver bike as their first, some are. If you are reasonably confidant & most of your riding will be 100k/hr I would get a bigger bike as the 250 cruisers run out of legs a bit at motorway speeds. 400-600 would be enough and not as heavy as a larger bike.
