Hello and welcome from Indiana. We rode in Michigan twice and you have some nice roads up there. You will enjoy your GZ very much. Nice cheap way of entertainment that we have found, and you will too. Ride safe. GZBrian

Glad I am not the only one with a crappy seat. On Thursday I had to take the Bike for the Very important first oil change. Since I do not have my license yet I had hubby drive the bike and I rode the car. We were going to ride both bikes and I would ride back with him but we had some other business in the same area with many supplies to be dropped off. So when we got to the dealer he gets off the bike and says what are you complaining about after 20 miles I felt nothing and he agreed it is not a great seat.

So Jonathan Thank you for all the info you gave me I have been looking at the gel seats and I will look into the Sargent seats also

Brian yes it is cheap entertainment Hubby has a 950 Yamaha and he wants to go like the wind and I want to enjoy the ride and go about 50 he wants me to go faster and I said that is why I have my bike to enjoy the ride at my speed so needless to say he goes slower with me

Thank you again for all the info This site is wonderful

Shelly, ride your own ride. Of course hubby wants to go faster as his bike isn't even breathing hard at 50. Ride in your comfort zone and enjoy the bike. When my SO had her GZ I had to ride a bit slower than my normal speed but it was a nice way to relax and smell the flowers. Lynda traded up after 3 full seasons of riding and gaining skills and confidence on 2 wheels.

I do go at my speed and I I do smell the roses, He will say when we stop what happened and I have to remind him that my bike is not as big and he shakes his head. Well we took the bike for a oil change and he road my bike because I do not have a reg license let. Know he understands what I have been telling that the bike goings to 55 and that is about it. So now he is listening Things are great
