Lo que los compradores deben saber
Proven Reliable Engine
The 248cc parallel-twin engine is known for its durability and low maintenance needs, making it a solid choice for new riders. Regular oil changes every 3,000–4,000 km keep it running trouble-free for well over 50,000 km.
Watch the Fuel System
Some owners report carburetor clogging issues, especially if the bike sits unused for extended periods — ethanol-blended fuels can leave deposits. Always inspect the fuel system and ask about storage habits before buying used.
Slow Depreciation Curve
The GW250 holds its resale value reasonably well in the learner-bike segment due to consistent demand from new riders. A well-maintained 2016 model typically retains 55–65% of its original value, making it a smart budget buy.
