This black beauty was my 'ride and pride' when I was in Balikpapan. She is now 'staying' in Bandung in my parent's house waiting to be brought back to Balikpapan when
I'll be back..

Here are several nice picts of that "black beauty", a memory of "good old times" in Balikpapan....

Tampak Samping - overall body

A typically sweet Suzuki 5 speed gearbox and chain drive give power to the rear wheel.

248cc, 4-stroke, 65 degree V-Twin, SOHC, 3-valve,

As is the style for a lot of cruiser bikes, the speedo sits in a chrome cluster on top of the fuel tank with the indicator, headlight and neutral lights placed either side. I think the 250's layout looks much smarter than its great big brother, the 1500cc Intruder. Come night-time the speedo dial is backlit in a sexy looking grey hue.

A soft touch..........The chrome twin rear shock absorbers have the very basic adjustment of spring pre-load. All that means is you can tighten the spring should you carry a heavy load (a pillion, bags) and help the bike remain feeling like normal.

Zoom-In on the pretty saddlebags!

I took the little beast for a couple of 300 kilometre rides, only stopping once for fuel. The firm seat and soft suspension ensured my bum cheeks were perfectly alive upon completion of the ride, some bikes leave you with an amputated bottom feeling for hours after such rides. Underneath the wide seat is a great sized storage bin that easily fitted a pair of sneakers and cable lock, very handy indeed.
