I rode mine to a bar ,parked with the Harleys (where I used to park my Harley). Someone walks into the bar and hollers " Who's the cute one outside?" I raised my hand and a bunch went outside to check it out. I never would have expected that. The other day I was camping and my big ole 125 was just sitting there and I was having a cold one and this lady told me my bike was cute. They checked it out and left. Anyone else get any attention?

Lol... I was at my local dealer over the weekend and they had 5 Zs sitting there. A few KRTs and a few regular Pros. Guy and Gal walk over and she comments on how cute they are. He asked if that's something she would want and for a minute she seemed to entertain the idea. No idea if he was just playing with her or serious but I could see the cute comments regardless.


Don't lose focus though, they are definitely just checking the bike out most likely lol

May be the area I'm in but riding around on mine I get people leaning out their windows asking me how fast it goes and every other question. Especially in traffic or at a red light. I did have a dude on a 1 ton Harley try to overcompensate by challenging me to a race at a gas station. Ok man... you do you.

i've gotten the cut comment a few times so far.
i showed mine stock to my brother's buddy that rides larger liter bikes. at first he said it was cute, i let him ride around the block and he said he didn't think he would like it but actually kinda did. then i did fender elim, intake, exhaust, hd clutch, and sprocket, he coulcn't believe how much it changed, said he would ride one around town.

I think that's the problem in general, people judge it before even trying it or seeing it in person not realizing how capable it is considering its size but moreover just how fun it is. I will say I'm not a fan of riding it at 55MPH with wind bursts... otherwise it's a blast.

I've been tempted to buy a vinyl cutter for a while! That would look good in a reflective material.

I do know you could get that printed as a bumper sticker from a few places for under $10 each.

I have a free set of D'Cor stickers available for my bike, wonder if that much text would fit where you can enter your name??? :grin2:

I was at a stop light yesterday and some older lady said "OMG! That thing is so cute! What is it, a 600?" lol I don't think she was trying to be funny and actually just didn't know. She walked over and said she was going to have to look it up online because it's the perfect size.

I don't know, these bikes feel rather squirrelly doing 60mph on a really windy day from my own personal experience and not to my liking. I find myself slowing down to about 45 just to feel 'safe' on days when winds are gusting super hard. My buddy who rides much bigger bikes says it's like that with any bike though? I'm guessing an 800lb monster feels much more stable than one that is 225 however.

They feel squirrelly because I think they could use a small amount more trail on the front wheel, haven't fully decided yet. Haven't had my Z over about 55 yet, and even then it was indicated speed so who knows how fast I was really going.

As far as wind, they all pretty much get hammered in one way or another. I've had bikes at 45 degree angles going straight because the wind was blowing so hard, it's not a comfortable situation. That said, not sure what my giant Ultra Classic does in a strong cross wind, might not even notice it more than I would in my car. My Buell gets pushed around a lot.

There is plenty of room for a horizontal 250 engine in this frame, it might gain 20 pounds or so, but it wouldn't be a lot. I bet a CRF150R motor would fit if you ditch the airbox. Would be hard to deal with the EFI since the CRF150R is a carb motor. Would need the 300 injector to handle the power increase, and a real ECM like the Hoedar and probably some other fooling around to get it to work.

I'm going to make my Z look Fierce! Not sure how I'm going to do that, but that's my goal!
