Not to beat it to death...
...but I think riding the GZ at night is way better than riding my bicycle at night. Visibility is pretty good, it's easier to see other traffic, and there's way less of it. My non-powered two wheeler has two smaller lights that light up about ten inches of road. Even so, I've built up years of experience riding at night with it.
I also run at night, around a reservoir with no lights at all. It's easier on full or partial moon nights, but I've done it in just by the "glow" of Anaheim. Even though I wear trifocals, I can see pretty good at night once I acclimate. I occasionally think there's a mountain lion around the next bend, but the dark itself doesn't bother me.
I did all of my basic practicing at night in a local school parking lot - it was the only time there wasn't anybody parked in it.
Too bad I found out two weeks in I'm not allowed to ride at night with a permit. I moved up my MSF and test just to get back out at night. I'm sort of a night person all around and I guess the bike is no exception.
