I pretty much feel the same about my GZ. I had a 2005 (?) Kawi Drifter 800. I should have kept that one and sold the GeeZer when I could have.
I feel that Beemers are kinda geeky/nerdy and unless you have a 40" inseam, you're gonna tiptoe at lights.
Here is a shot of my long gone Kawi.
This was a really comfy and fun midsize bike. I should kick my own ass for selling it.
I also do a few gigs yearly as a fill in for a couple local old fart bands. No money in it, it's just for fun.
