First real motorcycle

Hello. My name is Joann and I just bought a GZ250 to replace my Honda Ruckus scooter. I wanted something that would do the speed limit and the GZ was the only bike that I really liked. I sat on many bikes including Sportsters, but, being 5'1", I just didn't feel comfortable on them. Either they were too tall at the seat or the foot controls were too far forward for me to reach comfortably.

Now the fun part, getting used to shifting and having separate brakes. My scooter had front and rear brakes linked. And it was a centrifugal clutch so I didn't have to shift. Oh well, I already love the little bike and already have saddlebags on order.
