Twinshock750 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Greetings from NZ Am a new boy here but do the forum bit all over the world most around the TZ's I own. They are: 1) A schmick TZ750 Twinshock in KR yellow black colour scheme 2) A McIntosh TZ350F that I race hee in NZ and Australia. 3) A rev cylinder TZ250U Plus have also just bought a very tidy OW01 which I kid you not is the first 4 stroke streetbike I have owned since a CB100 Honda. Have had various other street bikes at various times but most just do the post classic race stuff these days. The other street bikes I have owned being an RD350B, RD350LC, TZR250, RZ500. TZ's of 54mm stroke and pre 1980 or so are very much a speciality in the house with my brother owning another 2 x 750's and 2 x 350's , a TA125 and we have my late father's TR3 as well as my original race bike from 1984 that Dada and built, being a YZ125J powered thing....but we don't talk about that much! You'll note a heavy weighting towards Yamahas! Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildone Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 to the forum twinshock750 used to watch motors TV which showed the NZ racing scene and your all MAD i tell ya!! You really are from down South (and East too) When we Brits reach N.Z we are on our way home again which ever way we go ! I don't know anything about bike prices on your side of the world but the ONLY thing that was ever wrong with the OWO1 was that after you had forked out a rediculous amount for it you found that (in a straight line) you couldn't keep up with an "ordinary" 100 Exup which was 30% of the cost It was a truly great bike and it actually ticked all of the rolling chassis boxes but slipping in an "Exup 1000 lump" was the done thing BUT WHY DIDN'T YAMAHA DO THAT as an option for the road going non-formula riders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They live with R1's up to about 2003 models.... 120bhp at the contact patch and 162 kilo's. another one in the family we had at nearly 1:1 hp vs kilo's. Nearly 150rwhp in the end and 158 Kilos Here;s ayoutube link for an "all gears" run on the dyno - itw as only making 139 that day. It got better as we played with it. NZ....is the last bus stop on earth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
