Hi From the UK

Hi All,

Been lurking for a while but thought I'd join as I'm now officially an MZ rider having picked up a 2003 Baghira BP last week.


Cheers

Have fun on your Baggi. I have owned mine since Feb 2002 and still have fun on it.

Hi Keith,

I must admit it's growing on me. I bought it just to have a bit of a laugh on during the winter while my main bike (Triumph Speed Triple) stays dry, shiny and clean...lol.

Had a ride out with the club yesterday morning which consisted of a hundred or so miles of twisty Kent lanes. I didn't feel underpowered and on the corners everyone got in my way...even more so if there was some loose surface, mud, slime, etc.

For the faster A-road stuff it took a little while to get wound up, but I found maintaining view and using just a bit of throttle sense I could 'BAAAAAAAAAARP' past all the traffic with out having to drop the pace.

I might order the carb kit from tunebike.de and put the BSM future end can that I got free with the bike on and then get it on the Dyno.


Cheers
