I've been riding motorcycles for almost 30 years and find it hard to come to grips with the kind of motorcycles I really like. As there is a limited amount of $, I cannot afford a fleet for every situation or likes. Two seem to max out the money and storage space so thats it. I've had MXers, enduros, dual sports, standards, and go fast stuff. I've never owned a Gold Wing or the like but consider these to be more cars than motorcycles. But I always seem to come back to the standards. I mainly use the bikes to commute or for short trips. The last bike I had prior to the MuZ Tour was a Ducati 750SS. The bike was great over 70 mph but under 70 mph was the most uncomfortable bike I've ever owned. Since 99% of my riding is under 70, it had to go. That's when I got my 1995 MuZ Scorpion Tour. I also purchased a Mastiff, (and a RT 125) which you can read about, just click below.
Note: MuZ has changed back to MZ - keeps things interesting.
Note added Oct 03:
There certainly is something about the MZ. Through my correspondence through this web site with other MZ owners, I have been invited to England, Trinidad, and Croatia. These are great people. It says something about the people that own these bikes and how we feel about motorcycling. MZs are certainly a little different from the rest which accounts for this great attitude. I appreciate the offers and maybe someday I will be able to take them up on their kind invitation. This would simply not happen with a Honda.
