I know it's not an allroad...

But it sure is pretty!

2000 XRV750 (NO 3), I think I'm getting the hang of them now, must fit the centrestand before the back tyre wears out. Damn, the driveshaft bearing wore out first!

Re: I know it's not an allroad...

They never quite achieved the renaissance with the zephyr for me.
When i was a kid a mate of a neighbour had 3 z900's. one he polished,one he rode and the one for bits. I would polish that thing for hours with him just to get a sit for 1 minute and rev it to get the oil round it.

Watch Mad Max 1 for Z900s (plus Honda 750s) after they've been properly used and altered/improved.

Re: I know it's not an allroad...

There was a bike dealership close to where I lived in the Netherlands, the owner collected bikes like the Z900 and its Honda & Suzuki counterparts (even had the Suzuki with the Rotary engine).

The bikes weren't for sale, they just sat there. Every once in a while he'd sell one to Japan, for around €15,000 a piece.

Every time we rode past on our rideouts along the river, we'd stop there for a tea and to lust after the bikes. Would love one on the side, but my girlf friend would confiscate my manly bits and feed them to the cat...
