#1: it won't be any better than a GZ. My opinion only but I spent a week training on one.
#2: it is a smaller skinny bike with a peanut sized tank.
#3: 2 cylinders will cost more to maintain.
#4: you will spend a lot of time and money trying to make it fit you.
#5: is this deal on a 2009 bike ?? It may be new but 1 or 2 years old. Found that out the hard way once.
#6: for the $ involved, go looking for a larger slightly used bike that will fill your needs. For that matter go do a test sit on a S-40. You may be able to find a new in the crate 07 or 08 for a decent price. I think in Can. $ so I have no idea what the U.S. $ will really buy.
