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

[van man]

Latest of mine it’s on car and classic but I stuck it on quite high as the European buyers do buy off that site and I can deliver into Europe pretty cheaply…I managed to make a mess of the pipework so needs cleaning up and coating or a replacement system I guess

Wierd as it is showing up for me, but it is a link from google photos so maybe permissions stopping anyone else seeing it

I will try again

Traded in the S1000r for a Kawasaki Ninja 1000sx.

I have been considering the Suzuki GSXS1000GT since it burst on the scene a couple of years or so ago. But I still enjoy my Street Triple.

I think if I do get the Suzuki I will probably keep the triumph as well, not going to get a lot for it and I do love the bike.

There is a lot to be said for a little wind protection.

I looked at the Suzuki first last week as it looked great online. Put a leg over it and 5 seconds later had discounted it.
The only word I can use to describe it is "Agricultural".

Really, not test ridden it yet as you couldn't get on one for love nor money for over a year (unless you were a top YouTuber).

That's a shame as it seems perfect on paper. I love my naked but just not on motorways. The Kawasaki was also on my list to try. Unfortunately I won't get a new bike past the boss this year having recently bought the E89, maybe next year. At least that will give me time to try a few.

 

[Scubaregs]

Ah, apologies, I meant the GSX-S1000GT.

 

[Pondy]

Can't beat a Kwaka!
That looks very GPz900 'esque' with the paint job.

So that is a Z1000 SX? I don't understand why Kwaka are calling everything 'ninja' ATM.

I have had a couple of Z1000s. The blue one I never rode (except into the garage).

 

[Scubaregs]

It's the 40th anniversary colours Pondy.

I really like the latest Katana, IMHO it’s the nicest looking retro bike available.

A friend of mine had his 1968 Triumph Bonneville fully restored in 2013, he rode it for 100miles & parked it in his garage for a decade..
He’s just dropped it off at Smartbear towers for me to clean it up & recommission it, bit of a shame he had a tumble dryer in their as well as it’s knackered most of the chrome, i do like it though.
I’m now in negotiations to make it stay here

Had the Aprilia for a while now but just added the KTM to the stable.

 

[RAYK47]

Just bought a Suzuki GSXS1000 GX. 2024 with 950miles and a few extras. Had it a few weeks now and up to 1600 miles, i have added a couple of extras myself.

I don't have my own pics yet but these were from the advert.

That does look nice. My 6T Thunderbird looks a right mess at the moment as it has had to spend the last two years in a garage with a leaking roof.
Still, new roof on now so restoration will begin soon.

That is exactly what i would love as a project. unfortunately i cant have a project as i dont have a garage and my shed already has 2 bikes in it and no room for another.

I have been looking at a couple of bikes to 'tinker with' today. Both Kwakas from the '80s (I am a bit of a Kawasaki fanboy). I would like another car but not enough room in the garage for one, so a couple of bikes will fit!

Problem is that even a pile of bits is expensive these days. Then finding parts is difficult too.
