Re: New rider. Older bike.
On the note of "bigger is better" I just don't get it. If i wanted to go really fast i'd have gotten a hyosung gx250 or some other sport bike. However, I got the bike because its so damned cheap to run ($14 or so a fortnight in aussie dollars, 98 octane too!) get about 320kms out of the tank, is possibly the simplest engine known to mankind to work on, max speed around 105kmph which is more than enough for where i ride, and if all this about it doesn't suggest I am pretty happy with this bike and don't want anything bigger......the most important reason to all aussie men.....with the luggage rack it carries 2 slabs of beer with no problems.
so to wrap this diatribe up, i see bigger bikes all the time, but why? I like my GZ. I've ridden a few other bikes now, and really, I don't see the appeal of bigger being better.
