I'm old! I remember the Honda 750-4 being released and staring at it in wonder in Freddie Frith's showroom (look him up) in Grimsby.

I remember the 4 pipes, the electric start, the fact that it cost the same as a Mini! (approx £680)

Then the Kawasaki Z1 came out and upped the ante, I was torn (by now I was close to my first house purchase), the hooligan H1 and H2 two strokes were available in beautiful two tone green, but the Zed had 'presence'. Alas, the house took precedent.

Now this; the Z900RS (MCN's suggested appearance of what it may look like).

If it's in these colours I fear I will not miss the Siren's call a second time but I want 4 pipes (but I don't want a heavy bike - I may be screwed already).
