Z125 or Z500? For NYC rider

Recently I rented a moped around NYC and loved it.

I am partially moving to NYc (part time )

Now I want to get a bike to get around. My normal riding would be to gym, running errands around NYC, going to meet friends.

I’m a new rider but I owned 2009 GXR650, sold in 2012 and haven’t rode since then.

I rode the Honda Navi and Grom recently and had a blast.

Z125 looks super fun and easy to maneuver around traffic. It can fit in the truck of my Ford Bronco so I can’t take it home (NJ) however I’d be limited to local roads under 50mph.

Z500 looks sweet, a bit bigger and would require a bike hitch carrier. I haven’t rode it yet, just sat on it in showroom. With Z500 I’d have an ability to ride to NJ and Long Island but it might not be as maneuverable as a Z125.

I’m 5’8 and 205 pounds and fit comfortably on both bikes. I’m also 38 and my motorcycle endorsement on license is still there, would take MSF course too.
