Don't worry about your "peers", my answer to people like that's comments were always, when you buy me a bigger, more expensive bike, then I will be more than happy to ride it, until then, you let me worry about what I ride and you worry about what you ride.

And no you probably don't want to go 500 miles on a superslab, but if it is anything like the GZ you can go til' your body can't take the punishment anymore at 55-60mph, and then get up and do it again day after day till you give up and go home.

The GZ may not win any speed races, but endurance is definitely its strong point, the one I had I rode for over three years, and the one and only time it left me stranded, was because the clutch cable broke, hardly a blemish on its record. I wish I had about 3-4 cars at my house that I could trust half as much as I trusted my GZ, the stupidest thing I ever did was sell it.
