How can Suzuki be this unconscious? The local Harley dealerships in Denver are selling their rolling toilets as "an economical alternative to SUV´s" and this is in snow country! What kind of mileage does the GSX 250 get? Must be sixty plus . . . and you get a little sport bike in the bargain. Why Americans don´t see the beauty of a small inline Japanese engines is beyond me. Now that we are getting a taste of European gas prices, maybe a marketing genius from Suzuki will pull his head out and get us some small bikes. My SV650 is the best value in motorcycling right now, but even it is more than some folks want. The GSX250 will sell like hotcakes, especially in college towns. That´s my story, and I´m stickin´ with it.
