Today I went to the bike show in Edinburgh. This was originally planned for the start of March but was cancelled due to snow.

| A good many came by bike. It was milder than recently (not hard) but they, like me, would get a soaking on the way home. But, hey, we're used to it. |
 |
| CCM Spitfire Flat Tracker. It looks like a bike you built in your shed but I think that's the point of it. |
 |
| I took a liking to the new Kawasaki Z900RS. A retro inspired by….. |
 |
| ….the '70's Z1 |
 |
| I met some old friends at the MZRC stand. They had some obscure machines from behind the iron curtain like this Polish WSK. |
 |
| A wonderful Cezet scooter. |
 |
| And this little gem (I do love informative number plates!) |
 |
| A cute little 125cc Moto Guzzi Stornello Regolarita ISDT bike from 1966. |
 |
| Laverdas |
 |
| At the Yamaha stand there was a Tracer 700 that Nick Sanders had ridden to Mongolia. It looks like he brought some of the Gobi desert back with him! |
Look like the new Z900 fits you pretty well.
ReplyDeleteAt least you got a soaking on the way home and not on the way to the show.
Yes, the Z900RS is a very nice bike. Cool, retro styling and compact - it feels tiny for a 900cc. Also it has an old school '70's seat - much more comfortable than the skinny things you get on modern machines.
DeleteI am all in for retro bikes as long as they provide today's technology ;-) Good looking Kawa but I really like the flat tracker.
ReplyDeleteThe CCM is very much in the style of custom bikes these days. Maybe not the most practical of machines.
