Anyone have a classic Z etc I can have a ride of?

I just wanna experience riding an old kwaka zed 650/900 etc or an old gpz or something similar with the idea of one day MAYBE owning something like that.......

I have thought about going on test rides on genuine sellers bikes but I'd rather not take advantage of them, I wouldn't want someone feeding me a bunch of crap just so they can try out a particular model of bike - that's what dealers are for

I don't know any classic bike owners in sydney at all, around here they seem to live in canberra vic etc.

Just thought I'd chuck it out there.

Tim.

Just one thing tho Tim, its not going to stop go and handle like your 6 does, but then again THAT is the appeal

I reakon that maybe the only way to go if I get another roadie.

I just dont have enough self control to own a high powered sportbike on the road. The motard hasnt seen me set the finest example of a law obieding citizen either. Maybe a Harley might be the go for me

absolutely correct - getting rounded up by 109's and ZZR2fiddys at every opportunity.....

Tim - as per MickLC, if you ever get down this way, more than welcome to take the Pearl for a spin.

Hearing ya, is why I sold the ZX9 and now ride a KLR 650, or will again as soon as I buy a replacement for the one I wrote off. 12 months and 0 points lost, 500km's to a tank or thereabouts and on the twisty stuff I keep pretty close to the sporties anyways, get blown away every straight over 2 metres long but

Mal's been keen to offer my bikes to others of late, so might I suggest flying down to Melbourne & riding his Z900.

Gos thanks for your awesome offer.

With my recent venture to the dark side another purchase is out the window - No test rides for me

Marty who's Mal?
