Re: Soon to be new rider, and have questions!

Although I don't commute 90 miles a day on my bike I do drive about 70. About 1/2 of my commute is 2 lane roads and the other half is highways. I, too, was a bit concerned about the ability of my GZ to do that kind of mileage but was pleasantly surprised to find out it did fine. The GZ does tend to run out of power on the highways but I drive the speed limit so there isn't any sort of issues. It's a blast to ride on the 2 lane roads!

A lot of my motorcycle consideration was cost related. I was a beginner two and a half months ago and needed a bike CHEAP. I do not regret my decision at all but if you have the ability to purchase a bigger bike you won't regret it. If you have a GZ budget the bike won't let you down.

By the way, I'm a pretty big guy and get about 67 mpg out of mine.
