Hi, I got my gz about 2 weeks ago, I had been riding a kymco super 8 150cc scooter for about 2 years. I have driven stick trucks and cars before but never a bike. My first ride was getting it home! I was careful and wore my armored jacket. Took a bit if time to get my left foot to go up rather than down with each shift! Fortunately i did not have to focus much on steering and balance as i was used to the scoot! I just have to practice using the rear foot brake along with the front. I got 67 mpg on my first tank, and that was with me not shifting so well, so i think i can get 75 on the next one!

You can go a lot further using Imperial gallons. At least into the 90's.
