Hi all, i've just joined in. Been reading your forum for a while and loving it.
Now this is dangerous territory for a newbie but bugger it...
So question is i'm looking at getting a 73' TX 650 or 70's KZ750 Twin ( i think it's late 70's) and i would love some feedback if anyone has ridden both? Unfortunately i have had the chance on neither as yet.
I'm currently riding a little 80' SR400 as a daily which i love for whipping around town- but am in the market for something bigger aswell, as i'm really keen to do some longer interstate rides through OZ.
PLEASE take it as a given that my heart already loves the XS650's and that i think the KZ looks ugly, heavy and cumbersome in comparison - but i'm hoping someone can be more objective than me and shed some light on the reality of riding them both long distance, and general maintenance and expenses.
Cheers!
