Alantf --- they told me that all Suzuki's have really high brake levers. I just believed them. They had about 1/2 dozen GZ250s for the class. Brake lever was the same on all of them.

Oh! I want to say thanks for a post you made (I'm not sure when, maybe a few years ago) stating an engine guard's real value is protecting the rider.

Until reading that, I had considered "maybe" getting an engine guard for the bigger bike. But, your post was enough to convince me I need to suck it up and pay the $200 per bike for "crash guards" for both of them. My 17 year old son has just started riding --- and I'm essentially a new rider, haven't not ridden in decades (and not knowing all that much when I did ride). Trying to do it as safely as possible this time around.

Good advice!
