Congrats on your purchase!
I waffled between the GZ and a Rebel for quite a bit when shopping for both my wife and me (her first bike, me downsizing so we could ride together), but in the end we both got the GZs and haven't looked back. I love the simplicity of the little thumper engine... Honestly what pushed me over the edge was not needing to balance carbs.
Edit: I just noticed this post is from like 6 months ago. For some reason it showed up in my feed as a 'recent post'. I sometimes forget how slow this forum moves. My bad!
