Watching this video is making me want to learn to ride even more…especially how easily you navigate the idiot drivers…something I can’t do when in my car without breaking the law (undertaking - so passing a car in the slower non overtaking lane is illegal here in the UK) and I’m forever stuck behind people who don’t know how to use the overtaking lane. In my local suburb and in London, so many are on their phones or distracted by their in car entertainment they never go when the lights change, or leave massive gaps to the cars in front…etc etc etc…getting a bike for me to pootle around on is now becoming more and more appealing, if for nothing else just to safely get ahead of the idiots in metal boxes. Great video mate and an even better bike. Ride safe 🙏🙏😎
Nice video! I'm a Wisconsin native myself. Transplanted to Virginia. I just purchased a TU250x, picking it up next week in North Carolina. Wish me luck!!!
Great review! Just passed the MSF on a GZ250. Other students had this one and the seat is a little higher which I prefer for my height (5'9"). Leaning towards getting a used TU250x or the Rebel 300. Haven't decided yet.
@@convertableburt no. I live in Louisiana. Top gear is nearly non existent. No it didn’t sound or feel like anything was straining, but anything over 70 feels a little awkward. The unsafe type of awkward. The "remember there is no abs on this" type of awkward.
@@sscbkr48 all the old heads think she’s a Bonnie. I’m sure you get that a ton. But yea she gets attention from literally everyone. Can’t see myself parting ways based on affordability alone. Costs me 60 for storage and $12 for insurance monthly. She’s a keeper.
Same story 2013 with 800 miles on it but 72 year old women was riding it, sold it for half price because it sat a season. Only complaint is a sprocket swap is a must on these. Great little bike for going through the burbs

I have a tu250x model 2001. I got it from an old man. It has done about 7,300 parts so far and it is in excellent condition.
I have a 2013 same color less than 1900 miles. Got it with around 860 miles. I’ve gone over 80 flat ground with more to go but not enough road.
And the bike didnt blow up on you? Must have been on an airstrip haha

What's this "bobber" you keep mentioning? Your present bike, I know, but what is it?
This tu250x is not mine, borrowed it. The 2021 indian scout bobber is mine, and often they are referred to as bobbers. Is this what your asking?
