    Is there any way of telling if a bike made it to NZ?

    basically i want to know if any mz1000sf bikes made it into new zealand,
    ive been lusting after one for ages, and was wondering if i'd have to import one from germany or the uk or weather someone managed to get one over here

    Sf is the Streetfighter annouced 3.7 seconds before Zschopau closed its doors?
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    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.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    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.
