I was wondering what the fuss is all about, because the wind never bothered me on the GZ250. It must have been riding the bicycles and little mopeds when growing up in stormy Northern Europe. Now, I'm rather enjoying the stability of the much heavier motorcycle. When you drive 60 mph and there is a 40 mph gust blowing straight at you - your speed through air is then 100 mph ! Wow ! :rawk:
It's just what Easy Rider and mr. softie are saying - when it's gusty, just relax and ignore the wind. Lean over a bit. You will need two feet width of road instead of 6 inches.
Today was nice and gusty in Maryland, so I took the bike out for a ride. No problems whatsoever.
(edit) ...except, the next day I found the rear tire almost flat because of a big nail it picked up... sigh...
