What brand of pants are you wearing? I need to make sure to avoid those.
Or did you forget to pull them up all the way?
Why you peepin on my ankles
Ha, nah, your pants just look a little baggy where the inseams meet. No, I wasn't peepin' there either!
All good though. Nice review.
@@jrb17bomber yeah I bought them and then lost 30kgs, so my clothes didn't quite fit for a while there
Well, that's a great reason! Congrats man, that's not an easy thing to do. Cheers.
Have to admit, baggy crotch was a bit of a distraction.
Maintain this bike and it will be going strong 20+ years from now.
Looks like I'm buying a used 2013 tu250x tomorrow morning for $2,200 US dollars ($3,154 Aussie). First bike (middle-age crisis machine).
How's the bike? I just bought one and love it!
@@rosemarylindop335 So far so good. I'm a new rider, so I'm taking it really easy, but it hasn't yet let me down. Glad you like yours.
@@paxonearth Mine is the same year, probably same age thing lol. Been licensed just over 3 months and managed to nail my Ps test last week. You can wring the neck out of this bike and not worry..the engine is bulletproof and completely forgiving of beginner gearing fuckups etc
6’7” holy shit how can you fit in it?
Pop a little neodymium magnet onto the bottom of the engine/frame and it fixes the traffic light issue apparently :D
i wouldn't say cheap....pretty expensive new and used
right now there's a 2009 in good condition for sale on craigslist for $1500
This is one of the cheapest on the market what are you talking about
@Bunnyshooter 223 Lol. Close to 7 grand new in Australia
I bought one brand new in 1998,silver tank and guards with a tan seat,looked ugly as hell,but had a lot of fun on it 😃
That would be a TU Volty, slighty different styling to the 2009+ models.
Other tu'ers upgrade the front chain sprocket to 16 (from 15) teeth which gives better freeway-ability
Probably going to upgrade from my Grom to this bike as I am a poor uni student and commute on my Grom daily to class. Thanks for the review!
I got an Out the Door quote from a local dealer,,,$6200,,,their on crack
Nice little bike..but that's too much
I just bought a 2019 for 4700 out the door
Where are you located Jon??@@jonkraft410
North Dakota
Soooo,,lol,,,this salesman wasn't even going to kiss me 1st@@jonkraft410
Thanks for sharing.
Like you said this bike is NOT for the best performance but it does the job very well, I do care about the look, its simplicity, maintenance costs and running costs.
Tough I worry when riding on freeways, what is your experience?
She can cruise at 130km..that's about it. Its interesting though.
Other tu'ers upgrade front chain sprocket
Great review...really enjoyed it! I have one of these babies, and LOVE it...!
I love the breaks on the Tu. You apply a feather to the break and it stops
05:21 Single drum disk on the back wheel? lol… Isn't it either a disk OR a drum? On a motorcycle that size, it's probably a drum.
Very good point about the biggest mode being rider skill. 21:38
Look I meant drum, but I'm sort of dumb
The traffic light problem isn’t a big deal for me in my town the lights work off of cameras
Hey Dundee wrong side of road LoL 😂
😂😂😂
It is a pretty good looking little bike
About to scoop one up for $3600 USD, I feel like it's a great price, going to look like $4200 after taxes etc.
I actually think the TU250x is a very attractive bike for thieves. You're thinking about the black market but common thieves are way more common. It only weighs 328 lbs soaking wet. A child can walk away with your bike. Its a gorgeous bike according to most. Maybe I'm wrong, but we don't have that mindset as TUx owners in America. I would assume people steal motorcycles everywhere.
🧑🏻I had a 2011 TU250x (first bike), it always sounded like a lawn mower, but was fun to ride and good looking. 🧑🏻
Great video! Thanks!
You have done nothing for this bike but call it cheap and undesirable and underpowered with weak brakes for people who don't have enough money to afford better. There is a word for you 'Affordable Quality'.
Yolanda, be cool
Great review ... although way off on it being cheap. At least in Aussie it's fucking expensive as. I saw a lot of people recommending them, but at more money than a ninja 300, or 2+ groms they were dreaming. Here it's priced for hipsters basically.
If it was grom money it'd be the best learner all day long, but pushing A$9k (seen some dealers looking for 10) in the current market for a 30 year old basic as bike is just insane. Buy it if you want a bonneville but are still on LAMS .. or pay not very much more at all for get a RE650 at the end of the day. It might be cheap after it's been ragged around by a few thousand learners, but it's certainly not from Suzuki.
Geeze that's rough new. They're quite a bit less on the second hand market though aren't they? Mutt Motorcycles have released a bike on the same platform that is scrambler style, under the 7k mark but is waaaay cooler
Did you have to get the valves adjusted at the first service? If so what was the results.
Rugged economy ride!
Love your vids !! Could you do a review of the Cf moto 250 nk?
I'd ride one of I could find one to take out!
There’s a place in Homebush called scooterino 😊
@@jasonparevski2104 probably a little bit of a hike for me 😂
300cc, 300lb, 30hp, 30ftlb, 30in seat height, 3 gallon tank, 100mph top speed, and this would be INCREDIBLE.
Great video Temp
Thanks Lee!
How would you compare a dual sport like the honda crf250L compared to this bike for a first time rider? Irrespective of price.
Depends what you wanted to do! If you want a road bike that can do a little offroad dirt/gravel tracks then this is cool, if you wanted to hit anything serious, you'll need an actual dual sport
Sorry, to update, i thought this was on my mutt video.
Honestly, for most people I'd suggest a crf250L over this!
@@Tempcitz thank you !
good one now i know where my Sinnis 250 comes from.
Wow surprised to discover a motovlogger riding the roads I ride, subscribed.
Cyclecruza riding around Cleveland Ohio half a world away gets a bit boring after a while.
Still bitter about all the recent and continuing speed limit changes through the hills, now can no longer legally have fun plus slow drivers can get away with going even slower.
Cheers mate! Would love to go for a cruise through the hills some time
What car is that at 20:55 ?
The yellow one: Holden/HSV Ute.
is this considered as a cafe style bike?
If you do enough things to it, its definitely got the right base
Shadaversity?
Looking at this bike as a first bike. I don’t understand the attitude here and from other reviews. It is not slow and it is not underpowered for it’s segment. Why would you compare it to other segments? It makes no sense. It makes no sense that someone on their Ps is giving a review as well. Please also, don’t swear and don’t try to be “cool.” Just be yourself and that is good enough.
It is compared to other bikes that are learner approved. It's fine to say that it is powerful enough, which is true, but even compared to sportier 250s it can be quite sluggish, which is something quite a lot of people care about. Not everyone, but a lot
I'm also fully licensed and have been for years, this is not my bike.
@@Tempcitz Considering Ducati Monsters are learner approved (in NSW) then uh yeah lol. But no, for the Japanese commuter market it was designed for its totally adequate. I will never upgrade mine, people who have been riding for decades love the little TU for what it is...as it is said; "It is more fun to ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow"
@@zhukie I think that there's a line where that works, and this falls below that line I'm afraid
