Has anybody seen this? It was a comparison done 20 years ago about bikes 20 years apart in age. Note the wobble at 4:38 LOL.

Great video to watch.
I think I'd point blank sell my bike if it had a wobble like that.

Well back in 1973 everything wobbled! :laugh:
Consider the flexi flyer frames on the z1s combined with junk tires of the day,fork oil with consistency of trans fluid and brakes/shocks were would be inadequate on a kz650 that weighs close to 100lbs less.
Its no wonder they handled like a pig on stilts. :woohoo:

They should show a handling comparison of a z1/an h2 750 and a cb 750 Honda to really make it fair :laugh:
