Hi from the UK

Hello from Bristol, UK.

Long time lurker, first time poster.

We don't the 250 GZ over here they are hard to come by and import only. But the GZ125 is a pretty popular first second hand bike for some. I have two 98s. The Black one has about 9k miles on it, the other one has about 25k and is under the stairs in bits for spare parts/sale.

I was wondering if any of you 250 peeps knew if it was possible to fit the GN250 in the GZ frame. Are they they the same lump?

I will post some pics later.

Thanks

So, if you ignore the legality of registration etc there should no issues with popping a 250 in that frame? Trying to find someone who has made the upgrade from the 125 but the frame part no. appear to be identical.

So in theory: same lump on the GZ250 and GN250 + Same frame on the GZ125 and GZ250 = no probs... he says.

Welcome also. I know I saw this same pose that CMS is mentioning but I can't remember who did it either. Shouldn't take long to search and find it though.
