Suzuki GN250
type of motorcycle
The Suzuki GN250 is a 4-valve single cylinder, air-cooled SOHC, 250 cc (15 cu in), 4 stroke standard motorcycle made by Suzuki Motors since 1982. Its smaller cousin is known as GN125 with a smaller displacement (125cc) engine (production ended in 2021). The GN250 is a cruiser-like street oriented popular learner's bike. There was also the GN400, on the UK market between 1982 and 1984, which unusually used a 6-volt electric system.
It has a speedometer, odometer with trip, high beam, turn indicators, and a gear position indicator. For later versions, the engine automatically shuts off if the bike is put into gear when side stand is down. The Suzuki GZ250 is a more cruiser-oriented version of GN250 in terms of dimensions with same drivetrain. Suzuki TU250 is a modern evolution of this bike with EFI and different styling.

Why this record matters
The phrase “type of motorcycle” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10375278. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1982, 2021 and 1984.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
