Screamin deal on the GZ! Used bikes seem to be unusually expensive in western Washington state for some odd reason. Especially since it is so flippin wet here.

I flipped one a few years ago to make a few bucks. It was suprisingly comfortable for my 6' 190lbs and competent on the urban freeways, coming off the 1000cc Concours. It is what started me on the smaller-is-more-fun line of bikes I subscribe to now.

If I were to buy another I'd probably change the handelbars to a superbike bend and add a small windshield. Curious to see what effects you'll see from taller gearing, eventually.
