The '''Suzuki GZ250''''s 249cc sohc single cylinder motor gave it a reported top speed of 76 mph; You should expect a little more horsepower from the Honda 234cc inline twins, and the Yamaha 249cc V-twin. But there is no denying that singles are fun. A disc in front and a drum in back provide braking, and the wheels are laced. The GZ250 cruiser weighs 301 pounds, and has a generous 3.7 gallon gas tank. Seat height is 27.8 inches. | The '''Suzuki GZ250''''s 249cc sohc single cylinder motor gave it a reported top speed of 76 mph; You should expect a little more horsepower from the Honda 234cc inline twins, and the Yamaha 249cc V-twin.

The '''Yamaha Virago 250''' is one of the best looking of the 250 cruisers. The overall visual impression is of a true middleweight motorcycle. Its 60 degree sohc V-twin motor and five speed transmission provides adequate thrust, and a little more character than the Honda and Kawasaki inline twins. A V-twin usually has a lower center of gravity than does a vertical twin. The Yamaha came with laced wheels and a disc brake in front; like the other cruisers, it has a rear drum brake. The Virago's gas tank holds 2.5 gallons, and the bike weighs 301 pounds. The seat height is 27 inches. | The '''Yamaha Virago 250''' is one of the best looking of the 250 cruisers.
