Commuting 60 miles
Moved been a month now and I ride the GZ for a 1.5 hours going 60-65mph sometimes 70 when downhill. That gave me 57mpg.
The ride is 20 miles highway 60mph, 5 miles city 20 miles highway, 6 miles city, and a few miles 55mph and rest 45mph and less.
I had a day with heavy traffic on highway going from a standstill to 5mph stop and go and that trip dropped mileage to 51mpg. Still good but I was getting worried about overheating as it was 90F using the clutch to keep upright often and stopping idling.
I can maintain 60-65mph in 5th gear even though I weigh 250lbs
But that wind can kill speed to 55mph at times
For the highway miles I go I need a little bigger bike like the LS 650 or just a 350cc cruiser bike.
Can't they just make the GZ with 100 more cc's and it would be great.
