I must admit that white GS is bloody nice but that horrible fairing needs to be taken off........

Hi all,
when I had the blue and white GS, I loved it, but never like the fairing, I personally think the z and gs are 2 very different bikes, from 2 different parts of the 70"s, the z is from the early part, and the GS later, I do think the z is a iconic looking bike, and fits that period, while the GS is in many peoples eyes plane in compariston, but is the style of that later period, and I love the way it looks, and I love and owned both :lol:

Totally agree Gordon .... Had both myself ( red & white GS )

If I still had the 'S' ... I would be hard pressed to pick the better bike
Because the 900A4 was on par with the handling side of thing's

Just the Zed still has the style ... & ... the Suzy has the grunt

Yeah - have to admit - from that angle and in that colour it's still got a glimmer of the waspishness that the original Zeds have. Couldn't say the same about the silver/blue one though.

What the dear old GS lacks is design finesse: it just ain't right - particularly seat and tailpiece.

Now, interestingly enough, Suzi did get it right with the earlier GS750. Far more finesse and balance to that design. But when's the last time anyone saw one of them restored?

Katana in background does it for me.

I agree with you on the katana. I always hated them thought they looked to futuristic in there day but now i think they look really nice with modern running gear ect. might have to do one when i finally finish my Z in about 20 years :rir

isn't funny how things turn around over time, I rode a 2 week old Kat from Kunnunurra W.A. to Darwin N.T. in early 80's, about 1800 klms return, swore I never would ride another again (and never did) it was an absolute shocker- rock hard bone jarring back aching wrist snapping pig. now I'd own one if had the coin, local one immac/original for sale at $4,500.00 0zzie bucks.

what about the baby crap Diamond Brown Z900A4, mate bought a new one painted it dark green in about 6 months caus we all laughted at him, have a guess what colour I'm painting my resto A4 yep Diamond baby crap Brown- Hench
