Hi Kevin. First of all I am very much enjoying your rebuild of this motorcycle. As you seem to know these bikes I would like your advice. I am not far off 70 years old and would like to buy a new bike. I have ridden many motorcycles in the past but would like to get back on two wheels again and not spend a fortune. Keep up the good work. Terry
Hi Terry, I'm 72 and bought a nearly new zsb about a year and half ago with 600 mile on clock. I too rode many bikes in the past, and it was nearly 30 years ago when I last rode. The zsb is plenty fast enough and a nice lightweight bike to get back into.
Thanks Terry. I make them for myself really, but if someone gets something out of then that's great. This is my third ZSB. The ZSB is probably the easiest bike to ride ive come across. I recently did a Pros and Cons videos so check them out. im sure your local dealer will let you have a test ride. Let me know how you get on.
Considering you can get these at the moment for under 2 grand brand new it is good value. It would need attention at first because a lot of things like brake lights clocks etc will leak water and corroded if you don't take it all apart and silicone it sealed, also routing the cables so water doesn't run down them into everything. It wouldn't need an MOT for 3 years but obviously needs maintenance. Recently I was very tempted by the zsb but actually found a 2005 honda CG with only 2000 miles on it in mint condition for 1600 and decided to have it. I would definitely consider one of these zsbs as it is very good value if you have the patience to maintain it adequately. Good luck and ride safe. 😎👍
If you're channelling your inner Ed China dont let a wannabe Mike Brewer sell it for you as you definitely wont turn a profit. Really enjoyed these videos. Last autumn a dealer was selling these new for under 1500, they still didnt shift so the price went back to list.
Im not going to turn a profit, in this video it was only going t break even and unfortunatly things can only get worse not better. it is what it is, im enjoying it.
Not a big Ed China fan. Wheeler dealers was ok, but I find him a bit of a big head and hes the biggest exponent of the youtuber mechanic pitfall where he has so much kit out the realms of the average monkey that the video's becomes irrelevant. When he started stripping the Range rover with a 850 quid Milwaukee Buzz gun i lost interest. it was worth more that the car.
