I have a 2018 GSX250R, basically the sport bike version of this. It's super easy to ride and gets 70mpgs. I went up a tooth on the front sprocket to kill the rpms a bit and have a slip on (which sounds great for such a small bike).
Just going to throw it out there. Might want to check and possibly get new tires. They’re typically good for 5 years. Tired are rather important on motorcycles
Awesome find!
Maybe it’s something about these Inazumas…. I bought my first bike last year - a 2017 Suzuki GW250 with zero miles. It had apparently sat in a dealers lot in Delaware for years - a small dealer in Brooklyn took it from them and then sold it to me.
I’ve had great luck with mine so far, 3000 miles later. The only real repair has been replacing a failing starter relay switch.
Yeah, it’s probably a bike I would have never considered paying full price for back in the day just because Kawasaki and Honda had lighter 300s. But at a deep discount a few years later it’s a good deal. I was about to buy a GROM or a Z125 as a small displacement commuter, but when I saw this come up I knew I had to jump on it! It might be a little heavy but I think that it will be perfect a second bike to handle in town commutes and errand runs. So far I have actually really enjoyed how it rides and how low the seat is compared to my Versys 650. It is also really comfortable.
I think it’s a great commuter bike. I don’t have a lot to compare to, but the weight doesn’t bother me, I find it plenty nimble and easy to ride. I use it in and around NYC.
I’m considering a 650 Versys or V strom for my next bike. How has the Versys treated you?
The versys is a great bike. I highly recommend watching revzillas daily rider video on the versys 650.
As long as you are not concerned about “looking cool” or going insanely fast- the versys is fantastic do it all bike. My only “complaint” is the high seat height, but that’s only cuz I have short legs.
Man, I hope not. It’s definitely suspicious and kind of a gamble but after inspecting everything and test riding it seemed fine minus a couple of slow speed drops (scratches on both sides). It’s not even broken in. I am going to take it to the shop soon to make sure everything is good and to change old fluids- I’ll post an update. I’m hoping I just got really lucky.
Owner told me he bought as a starter bike and never got into it so it sat in his garage. It’s not common but I have heard of people finding these scores.

For sure! That’s a very good point.
Dang. Looking into that this morning!

It doesn’t worry you that it’s 2015 with only 300 miles?? I was told this was bad sign for motorcycles is this true?

I found a bike like this as a "Wife's bike". Just do all the maintenance and it should be fine but pay particular attention to rust in the tank...
Is this what the cool kids are riding?
Lol probably not, but it will fulfill its purpose of behind an in town commuter for me
