I think you have answered your own question. All of the above. Starting out with too large a bike is a sure fire way to be intimidated by a machine. A larger heavy bike will zap your confidence and you will never or rarely be at ease with the beast. The GZ is really an underwhelming bike that is very forgiving to a newer rider. Once you get a handle on it's capabilities you will be surprised how well it will haul you around without letting you get in over your head.
Lynda rode her GZ from the summer of 2006 til the spring of 2009. She started a search for an upgrade after riding half way across Canada and back. Her one comment after getting the M-50 was she was glad the GZ was her first bike. Was she sad to sell the GZ ? Yes. Was she glad to get the M ? Absolutely. The GZ was the bike to prepare her to go bigger when the time came.
