Not sure why, but always had a thing for the Yam FZ. But tbh, thats purely down to athletics and what owners had said, so not exactly an objective opinion.
So yeah, cant be of any hep other than i think the FZ looks the best. ____________________ Riding: Yamaha MT-09 Tracer Occasionally Riding: 08 Suzuki SV650, Potato: 2011 Yamaha YBR Custom.

He's in the right place though, there seems to be quite a bit of decent quality old iron in Italy (pretty sure my XL originated there and that was in remarkably original condition, for a 31 year old) and there's lots of spares there and in Germany.
Must be the slightly more temperate climate there, it's certainly a place I would look at, if I were hunting for a specific vehicle; oddly, as the previous owner found out, the only bit of my Honda that was shagged, was the engine, but have you seen the way they drive over there?! ____________________ Things get better with age; I'm close to being magnificent........

I can't say what one will be like now but I had one of the first GPz900R's in 1984. Very few bikes can be described as a true game changer but if any can it's the 900.
It's difficult for younger riders to appreciate how much of a leap the GPz and other bikes that quickly followed were. They were much faster than what immediately preceded them but much more importantly they came with handling and brakes that prior to then could only be found at specialist frame builders.
All 3 of the bikes you list were absolute belters back in the day but if it were my money I'd have the Kawasaki but I am seriously biased. Trying to find a good one....that's the problem. |
