Soft Top (was HR etc)

Post by EricW » Sun Nov 20, 2005 12:20 pm

I use Mothers "Preserves Protectant" brilliant stuff.

Yes, I used to have a Honda CB900 F1, way way back but I'm getting a little
old for that kind of thing, I just want a little one 400- 500 cc and nobody
wants to sell me one!

My other toy part from theMX5 is a Kawasaki ZZR 1200, terrific bike . My
wife and I have done more than 100,00 km around NZ , especially in the South
Island - absolutely brilliant bike country. Must take the MX down there some
day. A few years ago I was the Ulysses coordinator for the Wanganui Branch
and used to do quite a few ride tests on various bikes for the branch
newsletter I did . Had a ride on the Kawasaki 650 ( bonneville look alike )
brilliant little bike - just the ticket for pottering around and just
enjoying a bike again . Not a big heavy superbike , just a heap of fun .

Eric,

Another suggestion from a ex-biker-before-mx5er... I've ridden all
over NZ (and Aust) on one or another of my 1500cc Gold Wings, but if
I were looking for a smaller bike for fun easy rides around I would
see if I could find a 450cc Honda Rebel... great little cruiser and
"easy rider"... there's curently a very popular 250cc model, but
I've only ridden the older ('86 or '87) 450 model.
