Re: My first bike

Good looking bike. I only weigh about 150 myself, and I totally agree - the wieght of the GZ is perfect for me. When I first got it, I too thought I might eventually get a bigger bike. But the longer I have and ride it, the more I like it, and the less I want a bigger bike : the gas mileage is unbeatable, the styling is great, has enough speed for what I need, very easy to manuever because of the light weight, and very cheap to work on.

When I bought mine (used) it came with saddlebags, and at first I didn't like them, so I took them off. But then I had to start wearing a backpack all the time, which made my back get WAY hot (I live in Phoenix, AZ, and it's pretty hot to begin with!). So I put them back on, and I actually like the way the bike looks with them on a lot better now. Seems to give it a little more "beef" and make it look more like a true cruiser.

Whichever way you choose to go, enjoy that new bike, and ride safe :2tup:
