I installed the 16T sprocket and I really like the way it drives around town. Spreads out the gears and makes the bike more manageable in first gear, doesn't try to jump out from under you.

I'm not going to try to modify the carb or exhaust; I don't think the gain would be worth the expense and trouble; anyway, I don't think I would get on the freeway with this bike even if it would cruise at 65; gets a little light at that speed.

Presently shopping for a BMW R1150RT for road trips. Haven't decided if I will keep the GZ for short trips around town or go ahead and sell it. I really like the way it handles, can throw it around almost as easily as a bicycle.
