The Top 8 Things I Love About My Suzuki TU250X: Long Term Review 

Dear fellow riders, as I indicate toward the end of this video, I very recently parted with the TU. This video took me a long time to post, but I can tell you with certainty that not a day goes by that I do not miss my TU. I initially wanted to keep them both, but due to lack of parking space (and pressure from my better half), I was not able to do so. I can tell you one thing, though: I can definitely see a TU in my stable in the future, so I hope the Suzuki will wise up and bring it back. (FYI: Suzuki has discontinued the TU, a decision that boggles the mind. Why would they discontinue an almost perfect bike? If you are reading this, Suzuki, bring it back 😡! )

I love everything about my TU 250.

I learnt to ride on one of these, and I think they're one of the most beautiful bikes out there.

Amazing machine, incredible motorcycle, a shame it was never offered by Suzuki here in Brazil

Thank you for capturing these moments and sharing all your insight! I will be a beginner rider soon and am sold on this one.

I have a Suzuki tu250x. I have put 10,090 miles on it. It a neat bike

I bought one when I turned 60 and it got me back into bike riding. What a fine bike. Took my test on it too. I currently ride a Royal Enfield INT 650 and the TU was a great place to start.

One of my favorite TU250 reviews. I'm going to send you an email about it in a few minutes. Thanks for sharing this!

I might pick one of these up this week as my first bike!

I was also obsessed with the charm of the TU250X (ST250) and just sold it the other day. I'm Japanese, but I'm very happy that the TU250X, which can't be said to be popular in Japan, is being recognized overseas. I think it's great that this bike comes with a kickstarter if it's a carburetor model.

Sweet economical modern classic runabout! 😎

Nice motobike and great video. I have the SUZUKI TU 250 X - 2001, greetings from Czech republic.

This is my dream bike :) I'm getting my license in a few months, can't wait.

Most people love the looks of the old bikes, they were built in a time where the motorcycle was built with the desires of the person in mind, now it seems they are built for the purpose of the accountant, graphic artist, racetrack and environmentalist in mind.

Хороший обзор дружище!

I have this bike,the orange one too.Super fun!! I must say though,At 14:35 you were brave not to change lanes. This bike is small and quiet;you gotta watch those other peoples moves big time..

First of all sorry for my english. Ihad a suzuki gs500f and i sold it and make the best change ever, a 1997 suzuki tu 250...and i put the big bore kit for earn some horse power, now it has 330cc , i did some changes in the scrambler way... she always put me an smile in my face.

I found a used 2011 TU250X and will buy it today if everything checks out. I am a returning rider, with a 50 year break, hah, just finished my MSF course. I wanted a used, lighter bike to gain confidence on and feel this will be perfect. Looking at brand new 300s and 500s in the dealerships yesterday and got nervous about having one too shiny and new.

A VERY BEAUTIFUL BIKE

While I like the retro look of the Suzuki TU250 (which I know only from reviews), I cannot see any real advantages or advances on the 1980s Suzuki GSX250 four stroke which I owned and loved many years ago. My old GSX 250 was a wonderful work commuter bike, reliable and handled well. In Australia I took the GSX over long distance travel several times i.e. around 1,800 kms there and back over 4 days, making some 900 kms a day at a sedately 80 kms + a few more, per hour. Like the TU 250, it wasn’t exactly a fast bike. Sure you could wind it up passed 4000 rpm, to 5000 to 6000 etc, but it took effort on the rider and bike. So comfortable cruising speed was a relatively slow 80 kms. Given that my old bike looks a bit like the TU, I’d imagine I could take the same touring camping load … which in my case was quite a lot, because I liked a few comforts and entertainments (decent sized radio, chess set, some paperback books, etc), plus tent & cooking utensils etc. All this added weight and wind resistance. But like the TU, my GSX was small and light enough to wheel into unlikely places for stealth camping. My favourite was over an anti-car ditch in a state forest half way on my semi regular 1,800 km commute. Never once was I disturbed.

I ride a tu250X I live in queens! I would love to meet new people who ride a TU

Great learner bike, but for anything beyond an urban commuter, it's just plain too slow. I had one back in 2018 and the lack of acceleration made me nervous. I now own a new Triumph Speed 400. Same basic idea.... light, agile, etc....but brought up to date. The ability to hold its own on a highway or fast 2 lane road is a major plus.

Reading more about this bike it reminds me of my old GZ

It’s difficult to believe you sold it, you seem to really be attached to it. I am looking at a tu250 this weekend. I hope I get to buy it!

Do you recall where you got the peashooter exhaust? Did it fit without major modifications and still allow the exhaust sensor plug-in? Thanks.

It looks amazing, what year was yours' model from?

Hi, can you tell me something about the adjustable clutch and brake levers you have on there please? They are quite hard to find…

Hey where there any other mods made for the exhaust? Like booster plug or power commander?

...what brand is the mufler from TU it sound very nice and from where you buy. .nice video...thank you...!!!❤❤❤

i want to get a bike soon but im torn between this and a KLX300SM. i know both are different bikes but they are both beginner friendly

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I haven't watched all the videos yet but did you solve the random stalling issue?

any aftermarket tanks u know of Thanks. what state is this?

May I ask what is this region you are riding through? I ask because it looks very attractive

Hey! I've got a '12 TU and was wondering your opinion on how useful the small windshield is. Mine doesn't have one and I wanted to know if it's worth buying. Thanks!

What was the name of the exhaust that you used?

Video starts at 2:45

Anyone know where to buy them from? Been searching with little success

Is it too small for a 6’2” person?

Was this the Henry Hudson?

Is fuel gravity fed?

Im paying 80$for tu205 in CT

So, what's the eighth?

Cool bike how much?

I don't know about a 2 or 3 hour commute. You do that a few times and you'll feel like a gorilla Riding a Trike in the circus. for 3 hours.
