I just got mine about a week ago. I certainly plan on keeping it for as long as she'll stay running (which should be a looooong time). I've rode several other bikes of larger size and didnt find them to be as much fun as the GZ. Certainly the big road monsters can pull 75-80 without a problem, but I find that the lower speed capability gives way to more scenic (and fun) rides than sitting on the interstate whiffing semi exhaust all day. The GZ also seems to be about 5x as nimble as some of its larger counterparts, making it a much more accommodating ride for country roads and even in traffic. As bill said, if you're not riding it for the fun of having a damn good ride, take the car.
