I have had one for a few months now as well, it replaced the Forza scooter that I didn't get on with. As fatowl says it is high geared but I'm also changing the sprockets soon as the original chain is nearly done. I didn't get the luggage either and I find with a 52l topbox and 30l bag on the seat is more than enough for my needs. The 17l tank range is great, the tubeless tyres are a welcome addition after my other small bikes with tubes. I'm hoping like other that being a Chinese Suzuki it will be better built and reliable like its sibling the Inazuma 250. I'm planning a trip round the Wild Atlantic Way if conditions permit later in the Summer.

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
I believe the GW250 Inazuma and the DL250 are both built in the same factory - Changzhou Haojue Suzuki Motorcycle Co., Ltd. (China). It's a joint concern, set up by Suzuki and Haojue.
I'm hoping that Suzuki wouldn't put their name to it if it wasn't decent quality. Many motorcycle manufacturers build their bikes all over the world, so sometimes, it's hard to know where your bike is made!

Lots of production locations are assembly facilities and parts are manufactured globally by suppliers and shipped. So your bike could be assembled in China, Japan or UK out of parts made in various countries, quality control is the key issue.

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
Made it up to the Lakes on practically the hottest week of the the whole year, which has completely encouraged the whole world to arrive too
Brought the Innova for its fantastic mpg. 233 miles up here in one day and managed my best yet at 168mpg. It makes touring as cheap as chips!
Maybe I’ll have a bimble around tomorrow and then do some riding on Monday when I hope it’s a bit cooler and quieter on the roads.

Yeh it really does feel that way.
I think I’ll do the same in the next few days to miss the heat/crowds

168 mpg!!!
I recon it’s the tash that’s reducing drag. The aviation industry use winglets for the same effect.

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
Got up nice and squirrely to ride 142 miles around the Lakes, taking in most of the good passes in the area. I was totally rewarded with the Hardknott pass being completely clear and presented some great photo opportunities.
The Innova handled the uphill sections with ease, and is so light (~100kg) that you can park it anywhere.

Re: Go Big and Ride Small
Rode up to the Walna Scar car park to walk Coniston.
That road was pretty steep and consistently so. Nice place though.
