Thanks for weighing in. Your hopes can backtrack to one year ago. Here in Indiana we added a handful of the TU250 to our training bike stable. You hit the nail on the head when you said that it is a comfortable motorcycle that is easy to ride. Time will tell about the reliability but if it is anything like the Suzuki GN125 it will serve rider education well. I am still amazed that we have GN125's that are about ten years old that run like new. Sure they have some "character" scratches and dents but they are rock solid motorcycles. The biggest surprise to me is that after all the abuse they have taken from new students we have not replaced a clutch on even one motorcycle. Suzuki truly produced a winner with the GN so if the TU follows in it's footsteps it will be a great ride. Hey Paul! Thanks for weighing in. Your hopes can backtrack to one year ago.

It is a fine beginners bike once they have had some experience but certainly not for a first day on a motorcycle. What I am hoping for is that you and your compatriots in the MSF and the Riders Edge program will get is the new Suzuki TU250X. What a great little bike, easy to ride...comfortable in all ways...as in confidence building and should be as reliable as can be for the programs. Good post Steve, I always enjoy your views.

So many people are willing to sit back because "there are plenty of people fighting already". They are not understanding. Strength in numbers really means something to those who want your vote. All you have to do is make noise. We need to put on a united front not only in our states but in DC as well. Thank you for your effort to maintain our freedom. Nice pics on your site too. Hope to ride out west someday myself. Thanks for taking the time to write. So many people are willing to sit back because “there are plenty of people fighting already”. They are not understanding.

I am an ABATE member in Texas. We need more bikers involved to keep and/or restore our individual freedoms. I am so glad to see bikers in action. I am an ABATE member in Texas.

Tonight Comcast shined as usual. This is my public apology to Comcast. Problems over the weekend may have been caused by my system.

I only found the rally a couple of years ago and only followed slightly. I am following much closer this year and rooting for Jonah Street.
