Pretty sure there was a company selling MZ's on trademe a year or two ago. Don't know if they models in NZ or if they were intending to import them to sale.

The faired version made it here and there are a couple running around Wellington. I haven't seen an SF.

There's a used MZ thou for sale at Hamilton Motor Cycle Centre, or there was on Tuesday...

They'll be able to tell you what model it is.

I can assure you that the MZ100SF did get here, at least one anyway. A company in New Plymouth were importing them, I do not know if they are still doing them. I got to have a ride on their SF demo bike, what an awsum machine!!

Why? They get a diabolical write up. You can do better.

Write ups aren't everything.

i like bikes that are a little bit different.. and a 1000cc parallel twin would be nice to have, i liked the power delivery of thr trx850 and gs500
with a little bit more poke, i think it would be perfect,
i like mz's as well, and did quite a bit of riding on a mates mz baghira. plus i have my dodgy 500 that i love.
ill keep my eyes open for one,

Ash and Tony - Trading as T & A Brookes Ltd

Haven't heard anything from them for a while, I think Ash is involved in a local magazine but I'm not sure if their business is still operating.

Alan DeLautour did their local servicing and warranty work when they were importing them and reckoned they were piles of crap quality wise.
