I did it finally!

[Tink]

After 37 years of sitting on the back or in a side car (yes I am that old) and only 5ft2... I got on a 400cc kawasaki Zephyr tonight and loved it... it was so easy I couldn't stop grinning... I am seriously thinking of downgrading the car, and getting a bike by summer... woop.:rockon:

To heavy for me, but I like the bike!! Its certainly given me more confidence to look at bikes that I had previously written off.... like buellbunnys honda VTR250 thats for sale. ;)

[DJSin]

Bikes + summer even better

[BiK3RChiK]

Blimmin awesome! It's contagious... hehe

[merv]

Good on ya Rocketgal go for it :yes:.

[Number One]

Good stuff :sunny: however don't assume the heaviness will feel as cumbersome once you have been riding again for a wee while.

I used to think the SV was a huge heavy monster :lol: now it feels like one of my old 250s - seriously the ZXR250 was a bit tall for me and I never quite got comfy on it before I had a break from riding for 5 years before getting the SV.

Age is but a state of mind doll. Trust me on this one!

You are doomed now, you know that eh?

I think the kids might get upset about that.... maybe a sidecar for those days when I need to get them to school lol

Ok I got into 2nd gear today, and stopped and started, and stalled, and put my feet up, and bloody hell the bike is heavy, but man it felt good.

Stalling is nothing to be ashamed of at all. I sometimes resort to it, just to be able to find neutral :yes:

Something much, much more embarrassing than that is...

Taking off from some lights and changing up to second, only to miss and select neutral. The resulting roar from your engine attracts far more attention than simply quietly stalling I can assure you :laugh:

Oh I like to stall it that way I know what I am doing wrong (this time not enough throttle), takes a lot to embarrass me hehe.... who invented 1st N 2nd anyway... lol

[AllanB]

Get into it Gal :sunny:

I always liked the Zephyr range, I was tempted by the 750 & 1100 when they came out years ago. An interesting note is that the NZ new models had traditional wire spoke wheels and the imports from Japan (ironically where the NZ new came from as well ....) had cast ones.

Well Geordie is considering moving up to the 750cc, I was never a retro style biker, but this bike is easy to handle, and low enough for me. I am having 2nd thoughts about what 250 to get eventually, sports or cruiser. :)

[Conquiztador]

How cool is that! If you learn on a 400 then the 250 will feel a little "thin" once you get it. Proud of ya!

Downgrade the car, trust me on this. And you are the Mummy so you tell those little ankle bitters how it's gonna be! :msn-wink:

I sold my Nissan GTT Skyline for a 121 Bubble FFS. Got a mean little Prilly RS250 track bike with the remaining funds. Sold my dream car for my dream bike!! (Funny how things change like that)

JUST DO EEET!

What do you call a "collection" of hyosongs?

Besides - if you had a 'proper' collection - would you really stay riding a 650 Hyo'bag ? Im guessing not.
