I'm solidly in the majority being 50, which is strange because I'm never in the majority on most things! But for you guys, I'll make the rare exception, thanks for having me.
The reason ZG1000 and ZG1400 usually attracts "seasoned" riders is because they appreciate being able to have a bike that can do everything relatively well. JMHO. I know I am a new rider but I already came to the conclusion that using a backpack every time I wanted to carry more than a pack of tic-tacs wasn't gonna work.
