The only differences I notice between the big bikes and the GZ (as far as riding skills go)is when I am stopped or "man handling" the bike in a tight space. I often visit an old river bridge where I grew up. It is at the end of a gravel road. It is a tight turn around spot and you have to rock the bike back and then push it forward several times to get back out. At just a hair over 300lbs the GZ is a breeze to save from a "drop" in the loose gravel while turning it around if I lose my footing. My larger bike was a bitch to turn around there.

At a red light on the GZ you can stand, dig the wedgie out, pick you nose, adjust the mirrors without even noticing you still have something between you legs you need to balance. On the bigger bikes you won't be as casual at first until you get used to it.
