The GZ is a pretty big improvement over the 125. When I ride the 125 myself it does fine. Can get up to 65 mph on the highway. I am 5' 10" tall weigh 170. With my wife (5' 4" tall low weight) on, we can get it 55 but it takes a while and it struggles. Going on hills I have to downshift a few times with the 125. Th GZ on the same hills took them with no problem. We mainly do back road riding and the comfortable spped for us is 40-50 mph. The seat on teh GZ is a little larger then the Kawasaki adn just feels better. We have ridden the Kawa for a couple of 3 hour long rides. The Kawa was getting about 75-81 mpg for us, and the GZ should keep us in the 70 mpg we think. We did not want a big bike that would egt 40-50 mpg. We don't group ride or ride for days at a time. We ride for fun and enjoyment. The GZ seems to fit us just fine. If I can answer anymore questions, just let me know. Thanks for the welcome. GZ Brian
