Yeah, I have a GZ 250. It's my first street bike. It's easy to ride, and a lot of fun. I will ride it this year and next year it will find a new home with another new rider. Used GZ 250s in good shape seem to hold value pretty well while serving as a great learning platform. I think it's the best choice of the small cruisers, although they are all good bikes.

Negatives: If you want to ride on the Interstate, you will need something bigger. Not a problem for me, I'm just learning this year and I'm looking forward to the MSF course later this year.

tlwisner-
ooh she pretty! Did the s. bar come with and the rack or did u buy sep?

I followed behind my buddy from work to bring mine home as I don't know how to ride yet and she got up to 70 but there's one BIG hill on the way home and she kinda lost 'er juice but she faired pretty well otherwise. Won't be on the interstate much at all but there's some cty hwys on my way to work that are pretty cool. I call it 'Mid-Life Crisis Red' but the black one looks really nice. I'll do like you, keep 'er for the next couple of summers gettin' some experience then move up to something bigger. She's just big enough for me to get started.

The sissy bar / luggage rack is an option that was already on the bike when I got it, along with the saddle bag guards, engine guard bar and windshield. It's a 2002 I bought used from my Suzuki dealer. I'm sure you will enjoy yours! 8)
