    My FZ750,same engine as the FZX but in a sports bike frame, topped with a seat as comfortable as having a flick knife up your chuff, would pull 145 very easily. Some left too. Fantastic engine. Handling was OK, but the brakes were a bit weak when I turned up the wick a bit.



    Why are Yamahas so good?

    This is totally outrageous, and is discriminating bikers! Again! Dave and I have been biking since we were youngsters, I’m in my forties and other half in his 50’s. and I wouldnt want our youngsters penalised either. You are not allowed to ride bigger bikes unless you pass your test, Thats what the test is there for. It’s discrimination against bikers and is unjust. Whatever next! They dont do it for high powered cars so why bikes?

    Well we can get 120 mph out of our FZX 750, this is before derestriction! after derestriction it should do 145 mph thats 30 bhp more with derestriction and another 5 -10 bph for sports exhaust.
    So in total it should have 95 bhp. So who wants to come out and play.

    It was very good fun, could party hard in those days, But the British bikes were totally unreliable, but easy to fix, down side you got pretty oily, perhaps thats why they changed from Rockers to Greasers. But most of the old bikers I know that partyed hard, have all got some form of Arthritis. But didnt we Live to ride, and still do but on a faster more reliable bike. And as for speed cameras if facing one, Dave opens her up and we put our 2 fingers up. Hate speed cameras, and if only the government would get into their thick heads its bad driving that kills!

    Me, I had my first ride on my dads Matcheless, at the age of 4yrs. And loved it then as I still do now. I also discovered my Grandad used to ride motorcyles. So does my Aunt and uncle. They are currently travelling around New Zealand at the moment on a motorbike. So you could say its in the blood! But I only ride pillion, my husband wont let me be the pilot. We have a 1997 FZX 750. But every opportunity that we get we ride our bike.
