1981 SUZUKI GS250T

I purchased this 1981 GS250T from the 2nd owner on Oct. 15, 1993, mileage at time of purchase 1556 (2490 km). It was basically in good condition, just suffering from neglect and needing a thorough cleaning more than anything else. The GS250 is in original condition and has not been restored - the paint, chrome, seat, exhaust system, etc. are all as delivered from Suzuki. It is pictured above on Colorado Route 5 at an approximate elevation of 12450ft (3795 meters).

The GS250 has been ridden numerous times from Denver, Colorado to elevations of over 12000ft (3658 meters) in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and has completed a number of trips over Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, the highest continuous paved road in North America.

Trail Ridge Road is highly recommended for an enjoyable ride with outstanding alpine scenery. I invite you to click Rocky Mountain National Park on the Links page to learn more about the U.S. National Park Service and Rocky Mountain National Park.

Another enjoyable ride with fine alpine views is Colorado Route 5 (the Mount Evans road) west of Denver. Paved in its entirety and seldom busy, the GS250T has completed a number of trips up this mountain, the most recent of which was June, 2011. Despite the elevation, the 250T climbs up to the over 14,100ft (4298 meter) summit without problem. The engine's stamina and willingness to run is amazing. For more information and a photographic essay of the breathtaking ride up Mount Evans visit my Mount Evans Ride pages. Below are 2 pics from an earlier ride up the mountain on the GS250T, the date is 2010-05-28 (May 28, 2010).

A nice running twin-cylinder machine offering an exceedingly durable and reliable counterbalanced engine with a 6 speed transmission, the GS250 is currently one of my "riders" with a mileage figure of around 17050 (27451 km).

The pics below are from various rides on the GS250T.

Below is a nice view along Colorado Route 5.

Replaced by the GS300L for model year 1982, the 1981 models were the last GS250Ts offered for sale in the U.S.

As with other machines in the collection, the GS250T is not offered for sale at this time.

Here's a shot of the GS250T with two of its like-size stablemates.
