I was thinking the same thing the other day I guess they are in sheds
The bike riders that had those bikes are probably sprogged up now I guess and keeping them in the sheds as a project or to relive there youth.
There youth that is without as much sex and pimples and with larger bellies and smaller testes. That My 3 cents for what its worth =2/3 rds of f all.

Now if I didn't have a wife, 2 kids and big mortgage and money-hungry Moto Guzzi,...I'd consider buying this as a play bike. Looks like good value.

Thats fighting talk (but I'm not sure how much fight my richly jetted 28 has got)

If the competition is a nn MC28, then it's not really fighting talk, more of a snigger really.

I'd love a TZ, but I don't think I've the patience or knowledge to properly set it up... given that, I'd probably not get much more enjoyment from one. I do however have some TZ carbs on the RGV; I expect that'll be as close as I get :laugh: TZRs are nice lookers, but there seems to be more parts/knowledge around for NSRs and RGVs. Wouldn't say know to a Marlboro one though.

not sure on the painting of maktecks, mine arnt done right
but any painter or even boat buildfer worth theor stuff should be able to order the right primer

the thing with tzrs is they swap parts witb the tzs, heaps of knowledge around for those
nsrs/rgv easy option for value for maney and easy partys access as a road bike tho

I thought it was only the TZR 3XV that you could swap bits with the TZ

it might be, thats the one where I know you can

we need a tzr expert? there must be one somewhere

I knwo a guy who had a reverse cylinder TZR, the equivalent TZ bits didn't fit that one

I've seen a road going 3XV that had TZ top end on it on a USA website, but you're looking full topend rebuilds at 500-600km
