Been riding for 40 years. Started with a Honda S-90. Most fun I ever had on a bike.
Realized at the end of last year that the bike I was riding, although not large, was not really comfortable anymore (too heavy to be fun). The GZ has turned out to be the perfect "downgrade".
Look back.........not ME!
The seat gets me, after a while, in the back of the butt. Not contoured right (not at all) but, one way or another, that's fixable. I put a jel pad on last week and it doesn't completely fix the problem but moves it around a bit. I think I can live with it but now must try harder to park in the shade. Once that jel gets hot, it stays hot a LONG time!!
I think the only real drawback on the little beast is the brakes. The front disk is barely adequate and the rear is, well, ......a joke. I'm still not used to pushing that pedal until I feel a resistance and have (almost) nothing happen. I think that will get better as time goes along (just got to be FIRM).
