Any Z4 owning motorbike riders out there?? What's your ride?

Post by Mr Tidy » Sun Aug 28, 2022 9:20 pm

That sounds like a great find. :thumbsup:

I was thinking about contacting someone last month who was selling a one owner 1976 green KH400, but I still haven't cleared enough space in the garage for the Z4. :oops:

That's noice, that Roberto. Not cheap anymore are they? I keep looking at KH models on eBay, but they are just silly money even for a knackered one. A 250 would do me.
Hold on tight when it hits that very narrow powerband.
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

No they’re definitely not cheap anymore, I’m feeling a little guilty as this will be the 4th bike in my garage :oops:
I sold my last kh250 to a mate for £120, that included a large box of spares including an engine!
My first “proper” bike was a B3 kh250, i loved that bike 8)

At least £5,000 is my guess. It's nice. :thumbsup:
I can just hear my wife's voice in the background "the last motorbikes you had you never rode". They just don't get it. :)

Dunno mate. I'm not like you; I learned a long time ago that multiple would be too expensive. :thumbsup:

It does look tidy, it has the wrong clutch casing fitted though-it’s off a later model (B4/B5) :?
