The GN250 isn't in the US now. Further the classic GZ250 isn't coming to the US any more. The TU250X is the "replacement" in the US in 2011 but no California motorcycle shops have them yet though they are supposedly "legal" according to California CARB requirements, more "clean" than the other 49 states. The TU250 would be a rare breed if found in the US and much less a California variety. Sadly, the US gets fewer and fewer "standard" simple motorcycles these days because plastic faired bikes are popular according to Japanese been counters. I think the Japanese don't realize American "senior citizens" are looking for easy to maintain bikes like the old days. We don't want to spend big bucks at a motorcycle shop! Maybe the Indians have something with the Royal Enfield.
