Thanks! That's probably the right thing. I think the GZ is still known as a Maurader in Europe.

Are all the Suzuki cruisers called "Boulevard" now? My confusion about this is because there used to be a Suzuki Marauder that was like 800cc in the States, but I think concurrently there was a 250cc in other countries that bore the Marauder name; now, there is no American Marauder and the name only applies to the 250cc model outside America... Or something like that.

I'm also looking for a nice engine guard, but I'm worried about the hassle of ordering the wrong item.

Edit:
I also came across this page while looking around at Marauder stuff: http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_GZ250_Marauder at the bottom of the page, there are a couple of links to accessory vendors, but they're both outside the US (and I don't hablo Espanol or spreche Deutsch), so I'm again hesitant to try to order anything. The Spaan catalog ( http://www.multispain.com/CATALOGOpdf/s ... go2007.pdf )has a bunch of stuff for a variety of (non-US) 250cc's, and they look like they've all got pretty much the same engine and frame, so it might be feasible to find quite a few accessories for the GZ that aren't specifically made for it.

I would not order anything from JC whitney under the Marauder name. The only US Marauder was the 800. Many Suzuki bulbs and lenses are carry-overs, but I would not trust large accessories to be the same.
JC whitney doesn't have a section specific to the GZ. I've surfed around on there quite a bit and never really felt comfortable that antyhing that they sell would fit the bike, aside from the universal stuff.

Actually, the majority of their stuff is universal and really isn't specific to a particular vehicle anyway. Of course you can search for custom fit stuff.

The Canadian GZ 250 is called a Marauder.
