I just returned from my bi-annual trip to Guatemala, my first as a rider. As the weather was characteristically perfect down there I casually commented to a friend that I wished I had my bike with me. He asked what I had, and when I said it was a GZ250 he immediately said,
"vaya, una moto grande."
Believe it or not, in much-- arguably most-- of the world our little GZ is in fact a large bike. In Guatemala one will rarely see anything larger than a 125cc. Given that they pay more than we do for gas (from salaries that are a fraction of ours), it is of course no surprise.
Now I'm looking at my "Poderosita" with new respect and affection!
