I can offer a slight comparison of the GZ and Yammer 250 Virago. Having ridden Happy Hobo's GZ on occasions and having ridden the Yammer for 4 days during M/C training I would prefer the GZ overall. The GZ has a bigger tank and fuller fenders that give it a presence and larger look. It has a single cylinder engine that is pretty much fool proof and a two into one exhaust due to the 4 valve head. The Virago has a neat looking V-twin with dual pipes but I did not enjoy listening to it out on the road. I found it too loud for my taste. Also having a smaller tank would limit it a bit for any long distance stuff if you wanted to really get there in short order. In my eyes the Virago also looks a bit flimsy because of the leaner look. I think the Virago has a little more performance at the expense of comfort and ease of operation. Either bike will get you there with a smile on your face and that is what it is all about.
