I was watching American restorer (I think that's what it's called) last night. Someone brought him a 1967 50cc Harley to restore. Seems like they used to make mopeds, years ago.

I believe this is the show you are referring to.

I've never owned anything larger than a 250. It's a societal statement against "bigger is better" for me.

Good for you. Many folks just bend and go with the flow.

Re: Love my GZ.. but when time to move on... What to choose?

For the OP, speaking from experience, I'm very glad I bought an 800cc. For my commute (where I have on ramps and off ramps as well as frequent stretches of 70mph - all during rushhour), it's exactly what I needed as an upgrade over the GZ. The one thing I've found hard to swallow is the 40mpg vs the 70mpg I was getting with the GZ. My 800 has aftermarket pipes (yes, loud), and if I had to do it over again, I probably would have purchased a bigger bike with standard pipes resulting in slightly better mpg.

800 cc's will take you anywhere on the planet. A strong 500 will do the job too if it is a good fit. I have my sight set on an old 1400 Intruder if a good one comes along. Don't need the size so much as want the look and the least amount of maintenance involved.

The SV650 is a jewel on wheels. Any bike that has it's own race series has got to be good.

I've been looking at the Star Bolt. Competing with the HD 883. Look nice and good pricing
