I am going to add my (+1) to the rest.
My oldest son gave me his gz last christmas because he had moved up to a 750 in June and couldn't sell he gz for what he wanted. It had set for 6 months outside his apartment and it is a bit rough now, rusty in a number of places, rubber parts oxidized, and it took several tanks of carb cleaner and longer near wide open rides to get it right again. So, yes the bike ridden more frequently could be in better shape.
