I don't plan to make any trips longer than 100miles ever...on a GZ250.

Absolutely right. When it comes to engine life, you can do more damage easier in the lower gears because there you can over-rev but in 5th that is almost impossible. Those who have damaged their engines were, by their own admission, punishing it in all the gears.

I took my GZ on a 1200 mile trip last year. You might be surprised where you will take it.
