    FZX 750….Does anyone know where we can get hold of one…….Our bikin days aren’t over yet! Wah Hey![:p] or can someone recommend a similar bike with an inline four engine. Bear in mind Dave is a short arse just like me[:D] The Vmax is too heavy, otherwise we would go for that. Any suggestions? Dont want a cruiser, want something similar to FZX. The position on a sportsbike is too cramped. Any help will be appreciated!

    welcome back

    I’ll keep an eye open for a FZX.

    Might be worth considering a Triumph (a triple or twin instead of a in line 4)?

    Speed triples are great or if you want retro but with modern(ish) equipment then the thruxton or Bonneville always get good reviews?

    Just found this as well, if you are set on a Yam and are not the shy & retiring type (V twin though)?

    Hi Katana, The BT looks nice, but has bad reputation, Dave said its only the 1100 virago engine innit. Radar that FZX sounds good but is too pricey for us…..We’re looking to pay £1500 – £1600 at most. Ours was a 1997 version and insurance only paid out £1600! The Triumph speed triple sounds good, but cant afford one and dont know how much they can be lowered. Daves only 5’5″ – 5’6″. Would appreciate you keep looking lols Thanx for your help!

    I’ll keep looking

    what about a TRX? – light weight, low seat height, sensible riding postion, bit unusual?

    Hey BC.. good to hear you’re still all keen to get rolling again!

    I think one of my local shops has two old FZX’s.. Webbs motorcycles in Eye Village

    At least I’m sure they did have two.

    I was in the shop yesterday, unfortunately only had one FZX600 (rather oldish and in pink/white), I thought he had some 750’s.
