I wanted a lightly used zx-25r, light weight, high revving, it would be a fun way to get around the city pretending I'm a sportsbike revving to 17000 rpm while barely generating 50 hp. But there was an even lighter used, newer zx-4rr for the same price. Not what I wanted, but obviously more bike=better.

But then there was a 2014 z1000 in great condition for the same price so I really didn't have a choice in the matter.

I have to push really hard to keep this thing leaned over, my feet feel like they're way too far back, I can't split like I normally do because it's so big, my thighs get cooked, there's literally no reason to leave first gear it might as well be an automatic scooter that likes to do wheelies.

Anyone have any advice how I can make it more comfortable or enjoyable?

You bought a Grom, people want and buy 125s and 150s, despite them costing 4000 dollars. Way more people would buy them if they cost half to a fifth of that like they do over here. The explosion of ebikes is because there has been literally nothing for people who want a small bike or scooter but don't want to pay 4000 dollars.
