You're moving to a small island. I too live on a small island with low speed limits. I've had my GZ for just over 4 years now, & riding every day, still have only 20,000 km (12,000 miles) on it. I've found it the ideal bike for the conditions. I'm 5'9" & 155lbs, & even though I live in the mountains The GZ still seems a willing climber. We also ride 2-up, as traffic congestion makes it the ideal primary transport, with no problems. I can quite see that a bigger bike would be required in America, with its wide open spaces, but I think the GZ is ideal for the type of riding that you will be doing.

BTW, I can get anywhere on the island in 70 miles. How does this compare to Hawaii? :2tup:
