I'm not an expert on this at all, but I did look at them when I was making my purchase. I ended up with a used Nighthawk 450, but that's another story.
I love how the TU looks and feels, but it's a single cylinder which I wasn't excited about. The GZ's seat height was way too low for me. I'm 6' and I felt like my legs were in my chest. The seat height on the Nighthawk was a bit higher and felt more comfortable to me. Plus I like how since the Nighthawk is a standard, your legs are right below you when riding. I think that makes it easier as a beginner to get your feet down at a stop light, as opposed to the GZ where your legs are in front of you cruiser-style. Have you gone to your local dealer yet to sit on them? Also, if/when you take your MSF class, they'll probably have at least of couple of these bikes that you can ride around for two days. That reminds me, have you looked at the Honda Rebel 250? Also a great bike, and you can get a good deal. Dealers have been trying to unload them for a couple years now. Good luck! -Noah On Sun, Jun 26, 2011 at 9:34 PM, Ed <[email protected]> wrote: > It has come down to the Honda NH250, Suzuki TU250 or GZ250.
