I took delivery of my new bike yesterday - decided not to ride her yesterday due to the gale force northerlies in the capital (this took much willpower).

So I took today off work to try her out, and the day is perfect! Already been out for a couple of hours, and you wont get this smile off my face.

Just gotta top up with food and get back out there!

She's a Kawasaki ZR750c Zephyr.

Heres some pics.........

Ha ha! Snap! I got my zephyr yesterday!
What an excellent bike. Mines an 1100 and I can't stop looking at it.
Might have to give it a wee polish though I think.

Both of those Zephyrs are really nice looking.:rockon: I think naked bikes are more attractive than fully faired ones and that's the way I'll go after the Blackbird (wrists and knees are still just about hanging in there!)

I put the EL on Tardme with a 2 week auction length. It sold in 2 days and I got what I paid for her! Dont ya just love the 250cc market!!

Nice one mate. I was looking at that one in Wellington Motorcycles, but wasnt sure if she would fit between the queues of cars on the Hutt motorway. Thats a whole lot of bike!

Maybe meet up to compare some time - top o' the hill!

Nice Bike.

Good bikes, those Zephyrs.
Very elegant and very very very comfortable.
There used to be loads around over here in the UK but I haven't seen one localy for ages.
My first Jap bike was a Zephyr 1100.
I think it spent the first two days of ownership on the back wheel. Until I got used to power. Previouse bike was a Triumph tiger Cub.

I'd love to! I think we should go on the next KB ride, see if the old zephyrs cant blow away a swarm of hornets like a good stiff wellington breeze.

At least in a straight line!
