Deciding on a UJM, all created equal?

Hey Ed, dont forget the suzuki camp claims the gs750 was the best and fastest 750 class bike of the time.

I don't think I could ever buy a Suzuki...hard enough as a Honda fanboi to get into a Kawasucki lol

Honda / Kawasaki - I could go either way. Both are reliable and solid. The thing I like about Kawasaki is the online parts diagrams at Kawasaki.com owner info, parts diagrams etc. which allows me to see if the part is active and if used on other models. If active I call my local dealer with the part # and place an order.

Same reason I like I like GE home appliances - online parts diagrams and local dealer who stocks parts or can get stock.

I prefer the Honda tank, but i'll be able to work nicely with what the KZ has to offer as well.

And can someone please tell me if/when that security code thing goes away that would be great. I'm having a real hard time posting and its frustrating having to retype messages if I forget to copy them beforehand.

I would not buy anything made by Suzuki that is pre-GSXR (1986 and down)

Any Suzuki based on the oil cooled GSXR motor is worth looking into.

Thats the only Suzuki I would put in the same class as the early Kawasaki KZ fours.

Vespa could claim they were the best and fastest too, but like Suzuki they didn't show up at Daytona to put their money where their mouth was - I wonder why? No guts perhaps? Maybe too embarrassed to be handed their azz by a bike that was 100cc smaller displacement. :laugh: :laugh: Ed

This KZ650 ad was not a joke:

Best is a subjective thing. I happen to like the Kawasaki's best.

The KZ650 was advertised to beat the other guys 750's, and it did too - right up until the other guys came out with better 750's

Used bikes are all around, so finding one you like the looks of should not be hard. And they are a bargain, considering what new bikes cost.

Happy Hunting.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I know how it can be answering the same questions over and over. /hug

There will be a project thread started if this deal goes through!
