What an attractive bike. Well done. I have really enjoyed your series. Good for you not letting a bike die. I am leaning more and more to getting an old ZSB. Thanks Kev.
Hi Hugh, not at all. The bikes actually sold now, I didnt really want to sell it, I loved bombing round on it, loads of fun and looked great. I'm getting another Guzzi and its just to good to turn down and I need the space. But if another comes along i might do another.
I'm enjoying riding it at the moment, no plans to start another project yet. I need to sell some ZSB's for next season, as Ive got a new Guzzi arriving. I fancy doing a Ducati Monster or a Honda Bros/Hawk as an A2 complaint bike. we'll see
Oooo trials zsb would be good!...... I've got quite a few bikes of all different shapes and sizes, but around a year ago I found myself in need of a super cheap to run small bike that I could afford to run on next to no money as I had to take time off work due to recovering from a leg injury (luckily not bad enough to stop me riding)... anyway fast forward to now and I still have it and absolutely love it for what it is, mines a 2020 efi but euro 4 I believe? So far I've fitted a full exhaust system from lextek which has woken it right up and I've even managed to hit the rev limiter in top gear on a few occasions when the winds been behind me 😳. My only gripes really are a couple of small issues that I intend to address at some point, first being the forks are a little to soft so I may replace oil with heavier weight and maybe make some spacers for the springs, 2nd the paint is pretty rubbish on the frame so I may have to strip it all and have it powder coated.... And lastly (I think this is what bothers me the most) I find the seat a little soft and it can get very uncomfortable on journeys longer than about an hour, I'm not particularly heavy either at around 12 stone so I may bite the bullet and get the seat professionally redone with better foam or adjusted to suit however they do it, as intend to keep this bike around for quite a while 😎 Brilliant content by the way 👍 new sub here
Really glad your enjoying the ZSB for what they are. im loving riding mine., its a lot of fun. Agree on the seat, the shape is great but the foam is a little cheap and needs to me better quality. Its comfy for me for about an hour. Saying that my other bikes are worse.
@ you’ve got me seriously thinking about building mine into a trials’y enduro type bike… however I’d miss having it on the road and I do like it for what it is so I may buy a second one to play with if I can find one at the right price

Kev, I'd love another series like this one. Your series almost made me buy a zsb except a deal came up on a UM and I couldn't turn it down.
