I bough my GZ for 2 reasons. first being good gas mileage (man is it hard to find reliable info about the mileage a particular bike gets). second, being my first motorcycle, I didn't want anything powerful enuff to kill myself by using too much throttle, and besides my main decision was to have cheap efficient transportation to work. I'd rather buy an old diesel VW rabbit that gets 45 mpg than a big bike that gets the same.

Don't take this bike for granted and think that you can't kill yourself on it. That's how accidents happen.

Big powerful bikes just cost more and make it slightly easier to kill yourself.

I bought mine as a reintroduction to bikes after a 20 year hiatus. I had not been on road bikes much before so.... I also want the cheap mpg. I think I will probably step up to a bigger bike at some point but I'm not sure. This thing is pretty satisfying.
