Що повинні знати покупці

🔧

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.
