Hello from Connecticut
 

Hello,

My name is Ross. I’m a new member and I ride a V-Star 1300, but my wife just bought her first bike… a new 2009 GZ250. I’ve joined this forum sort of as her proxy. She’s not much of a forum person, but I on the other hand belong to 3 or 4 motorcycle forums and really appreciate the valuable info that pops up from time to time.

She bought her GZ about two weeks ago (dead of winter is a great time to buy), but we live in Central Connecticut and have had so much snow recently that we haven’t had a chance to get back to the dealer to trailer the bike home. That’s probably a good thing because it’s taken me 2 weeks to get the garage arranged to accommodate a car, a truck and now 2 bikes.

She’s had some experience riding bikes, but most of those experiences didn’t go well because the bikes were too big for her to learn on, both in height and power. The GZ however seems to be the perfect fit and size. She’ll take the MSF (now mandatory) course in the Spring and we can start the Summer off cruising the rural back roads together.

Welcome, and sounds like you're going to have fun come springtime.

Very good choice. The GZ is a good bike.

Welcome aboard...

Welcome Ross. The GZ is a fine choice for a first bike. Don't feel out of place because you don't ride a GZ. My SO(Lynda) bought her GZ and I showed up here to represent her. She has since upgraded to a larger bike but swears by the GZ as a wonderful learning tool and confidence builder. We have some good info and hints for the care and feeding of the GZ so don't be afraid to ask.

Welcome aboard from South Carolina! The GZ250 is an excellent choice to learn on. Don't ask me how I know that. :biggrin:

Welcome aboard. Prices on the New GZ make it a hard bike to pass up. Ride safe. GZBrian
