Re: Just joining

The GZ is a terrific bike for starting/restarting your motorcycling life. People do start on a 750+, a mature/athletic/fit/careful person would have fewer problems than a immature/uncoordinated/weak/careless person. Just basic low speed parking lot/garage handling is much more difficult with a 500+ lb bike. The power of a bigger bike makes it very easy to get into situations a beginner can't foresee. Things happen a lot quicker at 100mph+ than at 60mph. The temptation is there and without experience and training bad things happen. (don't ask me how I know this)
