Great. I'm glad it's working out for you. One man's nectar is another's poison!
Two final thoughts: At 75 mph, stock, you are wound flat out. There is no extra to be had if you need it AND regardless of what you might think or others have told you, there IS extra strain on any engine when you run it WFO !!! True, it may not be a problem for tens of thousands of miles but the ODDS are that it will fail sooner if it is ridden harder.
While I love my GZ for puttering around town and road trips ~60mph, from what you have just said, I think you NEED a slightly larger bike. I've heard good things about the S40.
