i have one that used as a commuter any body else got one ? i went to the Vincent motorcycle rally a couple of years ago and out of 1200 bikes it was the only one there

Firstly there were less than a thousand bikes at that rally. I know, I counted 'em.

And secondly I had the only GSXR600K3 there too, what's your point?

Nice bike though man, well done.

No, but I once had a real nice Mk2 Zephyr with a hot Mk3 engine, lowered, fats and a farty exhaust note, does that count???

Des Townsen designed the Zephyr,he was a customer of ours and I used to work on his Tiumph 2000.A nice clean little yacht,my uncle built several.

there's one for sale over tauranga at that little scooter shop off elizabeth st - quite nice and solid looking actually.

and i had a green Mk3 with triple sidedrafts and widened rims. used to sieze when it got hot from grasstracking, then would be fine again once it cooled down. was a cool car. one of the ones i wish i never sold, along with my '50 ford pop.

I owned a mid eighties KZ750 - basically the same air cooled DOHC eight valve motor as the more recent models up until the latest one which I understand it has gone water cooled, FI, etc.

Great (underrated) bike!

I have a 1987 GT750 in the gargre. Great engine that was also used in the GPZ. The GT was the shaft drive, touring version.
