I just got my GZ250 last month. I was very excited to find it. 250cc bikes are extremely hard to come by used in my area, and to manage to get the same one that I used during the MSF class was extra exciting to me because I'd already spent two days in the saddle and knew that it was a very comfortable bike for me to sit on and ride.

I'm having a great time learning to move around town on my bike. Every time I find another reason to hop no the bike is another reason to smile. I've started looking for excuses to go to the drugstore and the hardware store since they're the only two stores I can get to without leaving the residential section of town. I still haven't managed to learn to QUICKLY shift from 1st to 2nd to 3rd from a stop into a turn, and that's necessary for the higher traffic areas in my town since my bike can't get above 20 mph in 2nd and can barely move in 1st (it's very, very choppy).

I can't wait to learn how to do that, though, so that I can start going more places on my bike. I can't take any of the "fun rides" out of town as long as I'm slow moving!
