Ryan_c_F Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Although I absolutely agree with Pauly...what you would be using it for seems more crusier centric unless you're gonna use the excuse of getting the FZ1 to make it on down to SEO and the like. If you do end up with the cruiser...send me the ad on that fz1 I'm probably going FZ1. I talked to the guy on that S83 -- it was sold to some old guy, who died shortly after the purchase. They replaced the battery, cleaned the carbs up really well, etc. However, the logistics of getting up to Michigan, getting the bike, bringing it back down, and replacing what may or may not need replaced on a bike in that situation are a little cost-prohibitive. I figure, even if there's something minor wrong with the FZ, I'm still going to have several hundred dollars budgeted bringing it up to snuff before riding season gets here. I've always been more friendly towards sport standards than cruisers, anyway. Took the V65 Sabre over the Magna, for example... and a VX800 over an Intruder.

DirtDee675 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Thinking about scooping up a used Aprilia sxv 550 or Husqvarna sm450r right now. I'll be looking at 1199 or s1000rr when the snow melts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smccrory Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I want a small used dual sport, like a crf230l, crf250l, tw200 or a wr250 to toss around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tall_tracy Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Is it bad that every time I see this thread, I want to reply with... "I want a Busa"...But anyways, I really like the 636, but I don't know when I'll be ready for another bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think most the Busa regulars stopped posting. IM probably wrong though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_c_F Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 So it's definitely, DEFINITELY the FZ1. Went and saw it before the bike show, and it's absolutely cherry. Runs great, has the full Yamaha GYT-R pipe on it, jetted, and he's throwing in a hard tail bag, tank bag and a seat pad. Going to ride it around on the next dry day and load it into a cargo van if it doesn't slip its gears under acceleration. ...is it spring yet?

Hate the new seat on those things, but it is a truly great-looking bike otherwise. The color is so, so classically pretty in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantahertzdonut Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I read the May issue of City Bike and it had a nice review of the new Moto Guzzi California 1400. Looks great but I'd have to ditch the floorboards. Has anyone seen/ridden one? Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that will end up being a Sargent or Corbin before too long. Better stop before I start whining about Manufacturers not being able to put a decent seat on a $10k bike. (Oops, too late.)

2fat2fly Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm currently looking for another 91-94 ZX7R or a 1996 ZX7RR. If I find the right one at the right price then great. If not then so be it. 93 ZX7R 91 ZX7R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2fat2fly Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Yeah, but the Multistrada isn't fat. It's just ugly. You've got the double-winner.I'm glad you have different tastes than me. If everyone in this world had the same likes and dislikes it would be a very boring world. That being said, I think you may be confused. The bikes I'm looking for are the homologation bikes for Superbike racing. In 91-92 there were about 500 of the K model ZX7R' s imported. This was the number they had to import to be legal for AMA 750 Supersport racing. In 93-94 ( there were no 95 ZX7R' s) Kawasaki imported 50 of the ZX7R M model each year so they would be eligible for AMA Superbike racing. These bikes were lighter than the standard ZX7's (these were the J & L models) plus they had more adjustable suspensions, flatslides carbs, close ratio transmissions and a few other things that were different than the standard ZX7's. The ZX7's didn't get portly until the 1996 models came out. Personally I think the 7's are beautiful bikes and I'm quite content with them in my garage. To each their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
