Originally posted by lesmore49 Beautiful motorcycle you have there. I like the crash bars, the pannier cases and the overall look of your new bike, very much.
Has the engine also got some goodies ....ie; powered by BrickMeyer ?
I've got a couple of bikes myself...a '78 Yamaha SR 500 (big single) and a '67 Matchless 750cc G 15 CS Scrambler. My son has a YZF Yamaha sports bike, which is really something to ride.
Thanks for your comment! Nothing done with the engine. But there is not much you can improve with the wonderful V4 anyway
!
... I would love to hear the sound of your Matchless!!
Originally posted by Kerrowdown Pretty cool and comes with space for all your Pentax gear too.
And I plan to use the space. In October I will be shooting landscape in Sicily for one week. I thought I might cross the Alps, take the ferry from Genua to Sicily and have some fun on the mountain roads

Originally posted by Erikka looks like a very nice performance cruiser indeed
Thank you Erikka.

Originally posted by p38arover Very nice indeed.
I thought of selling my V-Strom and XJR1300 to go to a bike like that. In the end I just sold the Strom.
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I was also thinking about a V-Strom but I preferred the convenience of a shaft drive ... and the price was right.

No kidding, how did you get hold of a Zündapp ? (I didn't think anybody here would know the name Zündapp)
My very good friend in Paris has an old Zündapp Combinette Moped collector's item ( I think 1956 model) in better than new condition. I think he is polishing it every day, certainly after every time he is riding it which he frequently does. Next time I am in Paris I must take a photo of it if I remember to do it.
(Here is what it looks like, not his.)
That's funny, nearly 45 years ago I was fighting with my mother to allow me to buy a Zündapp just like that (with my money, I had been working hard during summer vacation). Well, I lost that fight
but today (she is 89 years old now) she loves it when I visit her riding my bike!
