Re: small bike
I just want to throw in my two cents :poked:
I moved from the GZ to the VStar because of several factors.
First and most important to me was comfort. From the seating difference, to the weight of the bike. A heavier bike will be more comfortable because it will absorb bumps more instead of sending them right to the rider.
Secondly power, I'm able to maintain speed regardless of incline, wind, or any other factors. I am also able to run Interstates to back roads on my 650.
Thirdly is the fun factor, after about a week of riding the VStar I was comfortable enough to ride in traffic and maneuver just like the GZ.
I would encourage anyone that has put significant time in the saddle on their GZ, to move up if they so desire to. It's all about personal choice the GZ has it's limits as do all bikes, but I loved my little bike while I had it. I'm also 5'6" 170+lbs so it isn't about my size.
