What to buy...

[mamahemp]

So I went to the local cycle dealer and sat on a few bikes. Wanted some opinions...

I have not ridden for 20 years, and used to have a shadow. Too big of bike for me, I wrecked it going too fast, oops.

I liked the gz250 and the rebel. The rebel was a little shorter, but I like the lines of the GZ. My thing is, what is it like on highway speeds?

I am a social worker and have to go travel to hospice locations and well, need something that can cruise, but also do well on gravel roads.

Do not want anything too big as I do not want a repeat of what happened 20 years ago.

Any input would be great. Really... thank you in advance!
