Suzuki TU-250 A GZ250?

Have noticed Suzuki's new entry in the 250cc street bike class called
the TU250. Is this just a reworking and repackaging of their previous
GZ250?

Seems like a pretty good bike for urban travel.

More or less. The TU has been on sale for some years in Europe, though I
think it's discontinued in the UK now. The engines are identical.

The TU is more a reworking of the GN250 than the lower-slung GZ, mind.
Frame and engine are the same. The TU doesn't have a rev counter, which
the GN does, but otherwise it's really the same bike in a different set
of clothes.

My GN250 is perfect for this, which is why I commute on it most days.
Fast enough for town, very torquey soft engine, so you just stick it in
top at 30 and keep gear changing to a minimum, and very economical.

 

And he can park it right in front of the cottage where he plies his
trade so everybody knows that Neil is open for business...

Oh, my God, the wit! The wit!
