Overview
The Suzuki GW 250 is a naked motorcycle from the GW family, produced from 2013 to 2018. The 2018 model uses a 248 cm³ liquid-cooled parallel-twin four-stroke engine, producing 24 hp (18 kW) at 8,500 rpm and 22 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm; wet weight is 183 kg.
The 780 mm seat height gives a relatively low seat position, while the 183 kg wet weight is something to account for when maneuvering at low speed. Shaft final drive means there is no chain to clean or adjust, and 237 mm of front wheel travel gives the suspension ample movement over uneven surfaces, with 125 mm at the rear.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Shaft final drive
It avoids the regular cleaning and adjustment required by a chain.
Long front suspension travel
The 237 mm of front wheel travel gives the fork plenty of movement over uneven ground.
Low seat
The 780 mm seat height can make it easier to put a foot down at stops.
Things to consider
Power peaks at high rpm
Maximum power arrives at 8,500 rpm, so accessing all 24 hp means revving the engine.

How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Both feet likely flat
You should have a stable stance at a stop, although seat width and suspension setup still matter.
