That's a great looking paint scheme

Then why is it still for sale... someone buy it please

In my experience, most of the people on here already have bikes and when look for a second one, they usually look for something a little bigger. I can't say whether or not this is a good thing, but, unfortunately, that just seems to be the way that it is.

Good luck selling it though.

Have you also posted to your most local craigslist?
www.craigslist.com

I sell a lot of stuff there.

Yup, in North America the little GZ is probably the best bike you will ever grow out of and then search for a larger replacement. In some parts of the world the GZ would be considered large and expensive. Something to aspire to in life.

Well I for 1 do not need a bigger heavier bike. I was planning on driving in today but while oiling the chain I slipped a disk in my back. The bike sure felt heavy trying to wheel it back into the shed. I got my neighbour to help.

I suffer from chronic back pain ( crushed lower verterbrae ) I am happy to be able to ride
when the back allows.

The bike can go any where I need to go. I installed a custome gel cushion padded sued hand grips ( my wife made them ). I have saddle bags ( slanted ) and a tail bag.

I can always solidly hit a steady 120 + km/hr. The roads I travel on have a speed limit of 80 km/hr and I can run 80-100 km/hr easily wind or hills.

The less travelled roads are more enjoyable. ( no one behind you )

Great fuel economy.

Great looks.

EGO ( I am me )

I don't care about the sport bike boys and their A-B racing.

Wind in your face , smell of a woodstove.

Freedom.

Yipes !! I guess I won't complain about bruised discs so much. Had a lot of trouble with discs years ago and spent about 3 years off/on crutches cause of pain and such. Legs didn't want to work too well due to pressure on the nerves. I can well understand not wanting a heavier bike. In 05 when I got the 650 VStrom I had a zero speed slow drop in a parking area. Got it back up but spent 7 weeks laying on my back while things got better. Dropped it a year later and went for some help, tis much better than missing half the summer indoors.

Hey warrior I have had a trick back since a dirt bike episode 30 years ago when I was 27 yrs old.

I often ride alone and on back roads. When I pull off from time to time there is nobody around to help pick up a bike so I figure if I can't handle it then it's too big. I tried a HARLEY SPORTSTER at a bike show but it felt awkward. I was on tip toes and when I leaned it from side to side I almost lost it and felt a slight pain in my back. ( 600 lbs )

I am 5 ft 6 160 lbs the 250 is the correct scale proportionately for me . When I ride it it feels like it's an extension of my self.

I found the VStrom the best to sit on with decent posture. It does seem top heavy without a doubt but not as bad as some bikes out there. Once moving it is a dream on wheels, even at lower speeds. I am sure I could lift it properly without becoming a cripple. Second time I dropped it I didn't even try to save it, learned my lesson well. The crash bars worked to save the tupperware but the front signal and clutch lever died on the spot.
