hehe

In Abergavenny on Saturday, there was a 400-four and a GT380 suzi sitting
side by side and gleaming in the sun. Fart oo shiny, but at least they were
out and about not sitting in someone's shed full-time.

 

Buy it, buy it, buy it...

I'm not helping, am I?

 

Even I am not going to spend the thick end of £600 on a Z750 twin.

I have *standards*.

 

But you want one. If not now, when?

Lovely, solid, comfortable bike, a real classic of its era. A touch steady,
admittedly, probably make a fair sidecar tug...

 

Umm *vibration*

 

No, they aren't. They buzz like hell.

Indeed. The 750 just isn't, really - well, not above about 70, anyway,
not the one I rode.

 

This is a problem with a sidecar tug in what way?

 

A Bonnie, yes, but not as smooth as a Commando. Ok, the Commando's
engine vibrates like ****, but the rider doesn't feel it above tickover.

Heh. Those were the days.

 

that's cos of the iso-spastic mountings, though. Apparently the Atlas
handlebars used to blur to invisibility at about 70.
