Today, let me introduce SUZUKI ST 250E. This was descended from Suzuki Volty. This was mainly made for daily use and every generation. And Suzuki also tried to make this simple, tough and light-weighted. Estrella from Kawasaki can be a rival of ST 250E. Every motorcycle maker has produced single cylinder air-cooled motorcycles. For instance, Honda produces the recent self- starting CB223 and FTR, I guess . 1:11~ This bike seems to be remodeled a little bit, but I was wondering. Blinkers and mirrors are surely remodeled, but otherwise normal. As you can see, this is painted with black and white. There is a dent on this side. No crack is in the front fender, but some scratched... no it’s just trash :D Anything around here is good. Some scratches and rust can be seen on the muffler. Most bikes, which have a muffler in this position, often get scratched and so it should be accepted. 2:21~ I’ll show you the other side. This side is in good condition. A center stand is not included in a standard equipment. Here is a little dent but otherwise also good. A previous ST250 is self- starting one, but ST250E is kick starting one as well. Compared to HONDA, SUZUKI seems to return to old way of starting system. That’s interesting. Usually, only kick-starting bikes are going to be self-starting ones as they are upgraded. It’s amazing that Suzuki takes the exact opposite direction! 3:38~ Okay! Let me start by kick. This has a decomp device. However, I don’t think I have to use it because the strength of adult human’s legs... Adult human’s...? Bikes are only for adults, though :D Anyway, it must work! Since it has a self-starting, kick-starting is a sub or used when you want to and the battery is dead. Nevertheless, this kick-starting device is well-made. Even if the self- starting becomes out of order, the kick-starting can replace it. 4:38~ This bike is really light-weighted. The dry weight is around 140kg and this is one of the lightest single motorcycles. In case of a light bike, it is easy to control even for women and the powerless. In addition, when you have to ride on a bad road unexpectedly, for example, with holes, wavy and gravel. If you ride on a 4-cylinder bike over 200kg, you may easily lose control on such a bad road. Driving slowly can cause a flat-tire in a gravel road, you may feel. In my experience, below 150kg bikes are easier to control. On a bad road, most amateur riders tend to set their foot down on the ground. In such a case, you can comfortably do so. Even if you nearly lose control of a light-weighted bike, you can get back to the original. This bike will be useful on a bad road and for those who live in countryside. Actually, this is not an off-road one, but this has the similar advantage of an off-road bike. When your bike is stuck in the mud or snow, you can easily push and escape from them if it’s ST250E! Therefore, I can say this is a nice bike! 7:15~ Indeed, you don’t have many choices about tires, but they are not expensive and so you can save money. Because of light-weighted one, tires are likely to last long. From my experience, they become cracked before worn out. I live in Tokyo, which has a lot of repair shops nearby. However, rural cities do not and riders must bother to go. For those who live in such areas, easy bikes in maintenance would be better. An oil change can be done by myself but something like tire replacement needs to be done by professionals. You don’t have to spare time for it frequently about this bike. 8:33~ And this has a bigger seat than usual. This seat seems as if to be made for enjoying double riding. A tandem seat is usually a sort of an appendix. This seat is an exception. There seems to be no other bike which has such seat except for a scooter in 250cc. My favorite point is that this seat is separated for a rider and passenger. Of course, the front seat is also big and high repulsive. That’s why, comfortable to ride on. This is almost normal and you don’t have to worry about defects too much. 9:22 We provide services such as maintenance, acquisition of a number, including mandatory liability insurance and change of name, and after that test-riding and maintenance. If everything is going well, I will let you all know... no let a customer know about it. A cock is crowing over there, is he gonna be killed? :D Anyway, that’s the way we sell out. 10:18~ And we can send out everywhere in Japan from Hokkaido to Okinawa, even Ishigaki island (far southern island). In case you want to know details or see details in pictures or anything, please feel free to contact us by phone or email. Today, I introduced SUZUKI ST250E. Thanks. 11:03~ Now, I am riding ST250E. I won’t do anything special. Turn left and go into “a bad road”. It is getting a bad condition road. Here is a gravel road. By ST250E, you can ride safely even on a bad road. I can see an outstanding manhole cover. There is a big drain and it is muddy. But it doesn’t matter for ST250E. I guess this drain is deep about 10cm or so. Of course, it’s okay! It would be serious for heavy bikes. Small and light bikes also have advantages like this. Here is in pretty bad condition, but I don’t have any problem. Now, I get back and finish. This is really nice. I hope you have an interest. Thanks again!
