Hey Water warrior what about that summer trip you and the missus took across canada ? Avg cruising speed pics ?

Average cruising speed was 100-105 kph(62-65 mph). The GZ was happy at that speed on the prairies. A little slower in the mountains but lots more fun. Lynda seems to have a real talent for mountain roads and the GZ thrives in the curves. Lynda keeps a much better line than I do in the curves on the VStrom. All in all the GZ is an ideal small bike for travelling. The trunk-backrest is just perfect for Lynda so it no longer realy fits me very well. A bike tailored to the rider goes a long way toward comfort and satisfaction.
