I'm a new member and have had these bike for about 4 years. the Tour has 33k miles and the Traveler just turned 10k miles and is in storage in my garage. I have put many miles on the Tour and have been to Nova Scotia, New Foundland, Province of Quebec and the Northeastern States. I then trailered both bikes from Ohio to Half Moon Bay, Ca and have been using mainly the Tour about 3 time a week as a 60 mi round trip commute bike . I have found the MZ's to be quite reliable with proper maintenance. Chain, sprocket, tires, oil/filter change have been the main maintenance items. The unusual breakdown was the rear shock which had a broken piston rod. (Suspect one of the riders with dirt bike background did some jumps with it). Had that shock rebuilt by the Bliestien shop in southern Ca. Love the Tour 660 great for the small mountain twisties around here and also going through heavy traffic. In Ca we can legally go between lanes or split lanes in slow traffic. Fun bike...Ron

Welcome aboard.
I've been on an MZ for a year now (just got back onto motorcycles a couple of years ago).
Currently riding a 2001 Traveller (had a 2002 Tour, lost it in flood waters).

Post some pictures of your riding area. I love to travel vicariously.
