The 93 Geo metro was pushed by 835 cc's,and thats a 4 seater auto. I know that 250 cc is powerfull enough to do more than what it gets credit for. I get tired of the less than important attitude the dealers give me when I deal with them, always telling me to move up in bike if I want more from it than what thay believe it will do. So I didnt take no for an answer, and made it work for me.

Bigger is not always better. The GZ will do almost anything you ask of it. I don't ask Lynda to follow me down the highway at 80 MPH on her bike. 60-65 MPH and she just sails down the road beautifully. That is where the GZ shines. Once was told by a sales fellow to get a 4 cylinder 1000 cc bike for the highway. Not in this lifetime my friend, don't want or need it. My 650 V-twin is almost overkill in my opinion.
