Cheers Z1Parr
Nice example - I am thinking a B2 with later grab rail??
Would have been great to see Irhobotolo's red one with ours on the day.
Perhaps 2013 will be our lucky number eh :wink:

Yes Mark it's a B2 , obviously a yank and on an S plate .
He got the standard 4-2 exhaust as well in the same nick as the rest of the bike :)

OMG
If that's a low miler and a great standard set of pipes as well he is a lucky guy.

How long has he had it?

Does he have any other classics?

Great pictures and some very nice bikes.
I have to be honest and admit that I have not used my 650 at all this year. I use my Zephyr 1100 every week and the Z1 and H2 when the suns out which has not been often this year :roll:
The 650 has a lovely smooth engine and gearbox and handles better than the bigger bikes but it seems to run out of steam a bit early to me !!! and I always seem to be searching for an extra gear on a fast run.
Think I will dig it out this afternoon and give it a spin :D

Au up irhobotolo,
If we get a nice Monday evening before the shite weather starts, it would be great to meet up with PertonPC and me at the Radford Arms on the A5 for another photo shoot!
Bongo.

Yeah Steve,

Would be great to see you out with us on the little Zeds parade lap :!:

You and Bongo keep your eyes on the forecast for Thursday Sept 6th - if it's a dry one we could do the Four Ashes evening meet on A449 near Coven & Penkridge (Staffs).

It's a fab one if weather fine - food and entertainment etc.

Might take my 900 if no other 650s are going so let me know.

Cheers from Mark

Can't remember the mileage off hand but it's fairly low .
He's bought it recently off another mate of ours and got it well reasonable :evil:
He's a few nice other toys too , Z1 jaffa , Commando , XT 500 , TT 500 and others :evil:

Bongo.

Bongo and Mark.
The 650 is currently on sorn and has no mot. If the weather is okay I will try to have a ride over on something else. I have 7 bikes in the garage at the moment and its pointless taxing them all as I dont get time to ride them all. Got drownded this afternoon taking my KH500 out for its first ride in months. :cry: Still came back grinning though :P

very cool bikes - good to see them out and about

I like the 'same, same but different' vibe

There is nothing better than old Kwaks going for a fang

keep it up, boys!
it's always good to be out
