    One of the loveliest shaped motorbikes ever.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    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...
