Re: Thinking about life after GZ..already..

Looks like the mid sized tank, and forward controls! Nice sporty. I am again thinking of another sporty and it will be an 883...or maybe a well used 800 Intruder with 24,000 miles...

Re: Thinking about life after GZ..already..

mostly urban and a little highway, my average speeds is probably 30mph ang i go 40mph on a strech of a bridge but mostly 30mph..I some how hit 50mph from a stop light yesterday because I was trying to pass a cager who I think is not paying attention driving!! and I was only on 3rg gear too, just for a bit to give me some distance from him..

Is most of your riding urban or highway?
If it is urban, a liquid cooled engine might be a better choice than an air cooled engine.
A radiator and fan helps keep the engine cooler at lights and low speed.

Re: Thinking about life after GZ..already..

I like the orange/red looking sporty better than the gray, its newer ,less miles,some add ons and $800 cheaper too..

Looks like this second one comes with some handy stuff like a luggage rack and crash bars and maybe even a little more chrome (? --- can't quite tell). But is that other one still available for $500 less ($5,500?). You can probably add the rack and crash bars yourself for less than $500. I think, maybe. Ok, not sure. Well, either way, if you go for one of them, hope the price and financing works out for you! New bikes are exciting.

side note: I rode the GZ to the grocery store for the first time since purchasing the Vulcan today. Still a nice little scoot. But I must say, it definitely felt like I was riding a little scooter (on the GZ) now after putting a couple hundred miles on the Vulcan. But it felt good to be on it again. And I removed the windshield (Hellfire Slipstreamer went on the Vulcan) and I kinda like this new look on my GZ. It's got a nice little mini-Road King look to it. LOL.
