My very first bike is a 1986 Suzuki Intruder VS700. Bought it for 750 USD and put about 2000 USD into it to fix some problems the previous owner caused with the bike. After a year of waiting to come back from the shop it runs great. I love cruiser bikes and would honestly love to own a little 250 like this as a backup bike. Thank you for the video and stay safe out there on the road.

"I'm scared...", haha, remember first learning to ride and feeling the same way! Once you have a go and get a bit of confidence, you wonder why you didn't start sooner and your life feels more 'complete' from learning how to ride. Great video!

G'Day mate, I think this bike would be great for you to learn on. It's not big and heavy and the seat is at a good height so you will feel more confident on it. Nay is 5 foot, 6 inches and she had never riden a bike like this before and was not confident about riding, but after a very short time she was riding around no problems at all. I'm 6 foot and 85kgs and I take this bike out every now and then for a spin... it's a fun little bike. Hope this helps! Cheers... Mark

I recently bought my first bike and cant stay off it. While waiting for my girlfriend to finish work I put $30 in the pokies and won $10,000! Ended up going out the next day and buying a Suzuki intruder 250cc with only 845km on the clock for $3600 and I gotta say it's a comfortable fairly quick ride that looks and handles real well (from my limited experience that is). cruise around comfortably at 110km and reaches just over 130km with a little strain.
