Suzuki is bringing their TU250 to our shores. It's an air-cooled 250cc single that looks perfect for MSF courses, commuting and running errands in the city or a first, "real" motorcycle for any sensible person. The standard style reminds me of the bikes I fell in love with during the 60's and 70's.

I just purchased a Suzuki TU250 and find it to be an enormously fun ride. I'm a new rider and started on a Kawasaki Vulcan 500, something which many websites tout as perfect for beginners. We'll, it ain't so. The Vulcan is ponderous, rough, has an uneven delivery of power over the revs, and has a less than communicative clutch. A great bike, I'm sure, but not fun at all for a beginner. Rather than looking forward to riding, I'd look at it and think, "Aw, nuts..."
The Suzuki TU250 has a 'standard' riding position which I find far more natural than the 'cruiser' position; having the pegs directly under you gives a better, more natural balance. The clutch is sweet, the seat comfortable, the power delivery even across the revs, the shifter is crisp, the ride smooth, and the handling responsive and easy to control.
I can not recommend the Suzuki highly enough. This is one fun little bike and a joy to ride.
