Did you do anything specific to reach such a mileage except from regular maintenance? Also do you think the GZ could handle a "long trip" ?

Edit : I wish there was a "general" thread, I have so many questions about different aspect of the bike but none of them really justify hijacking this thread or opening a new one.

The GZ will handle a long trip with ease. That is the short answer............the long answer is also yes but with certain conditions. You won't want to spend any time on freeways trying to compete with fast moving traffic. The GZ is not fast enough or big enough. It is what it is. Stay on lesser highways with a lower speed limit, less traffic and enjoy the ride. Lynda rode her GZ half way across Canada and back with nary a hiccup. We stayed at 60 mph most of the time and everything was just peachy. Secondary highways are more scenic and relaxing for a long haul. Back roads have more twisties for entertainment and boredom relief.
The downside to travelling on the GZ is you always have to think ahead to determine how to tackle hills, headwinds and not getting run over by bigger traffic. Lynda moved up to a M-50 Suzuki(800cc) and enjoyed the extra power and size.

Any more questions of any sort can be addressed when you start a new thread of your own. Don't be shy.

Bought a new 2009 model in 2011 and have been riding into work most days. It has just over 58,000 miles on it. It has been a very reliable piece of transportation. Just had the valves adjusted and it is running really smooth. The engine was running a bit hot, I think the adjustment may have solved that problem.

I bought my 2009 GZ in 2010 with 1200 miles on. Original owner dropped it and got hurt. His loss my gain. Even with the few issues I'm currently dealing with, I've managed 27k+ miles. That being said, I try to stick to the maintenance schedule for the major things. Oil changes are super easy and cheap enough that I buy my oil filters 12 at a time. Chain cleaning and lubing are done every oil change as well.
