I've ridden dirt bikes for the last ten years and finally got my street endorsement and I'm in the market for a simple 'naked' first bike. I like the looks of the Nighthawk better, but are there benefits of the Suzuki over the Honda??

Here are the specs of each bike:
Nighthawk 250
Displacement: 234cc
Type: air-cooled vertical twin-cylinder
Bore and Stroke: 53mm x 53mm
Compression Ratio: 9.2:1
Valve Train: SOHC; two valves per cylinder
Induction: Single 26mm CV carburetor
Ignition: CDI
Transmission: Five-speed
Final Drive: O-ring chain


Suzuki TU250:

Displacement: 249cc
Type: 4-stroke, single-cylinder, Air-cooled, SOHC
Bore Stroke: 72.0mm X 61.2mm
Compression Ratio: 9.2:1
Fuel System: Fuel injection
Lubrication: Wet sump

Your thoughts??
