340 lbs is heavy to a beginner!

Just wanted to comment about my wife's initial reaction to the GZ. She'd been riding 2-up on my VTX1300 for the past 3 years, and she's gotten used to larger cruisers. She thought the GZ looked "tiny" when she saw it and I was honestly afraid we were going to end up having to get her a 600 to start on (which would've been dangerous and expensive). However, after a lot of discussion we ended up getting the GZ.

The other day, she tried to walk the bike around our parking lot for a little bit, just to get a feel for it. Boy, was she surprised at how heavy 340 lbs can be! Now, she's very happy she'll be starting on the GZ. I think the fact that I always come home with an ear-to-ear grin after taking it for a cruise helps, too!
