Can't find a Black Panther/Street Moto to buy

Postby rajflyboy » Thu Dec 09, 2004 4:20 pm

I live in the Charlotte NC area and I would like to find a Black Panther or Street Moto MZ machine to buy. I can't seem to find a dealer that sells them.

Anyone have an idea how I can find one of these Suckers???

Thanks

As much as I like the Panther >> It looks Like I will be buying the new DRZ 400 SM.

If I can't even find a Panther or Street to buy anywhere near Charlotte, NC >> then I'm sure buying parts won't be easy either. MZ is an awesome machine but I don't want the problems with finding the bike/ and parts if I need to in the future!

i don't think the parts supply is going to be the problem
in fact i think it may be improving
i got a disk rotor for my rt125 and front pads in less than
2 weeks

these bikes are for folks that work on there own stuff
as there are only a few dealers
if you like to take it to a shop then the DR is the way to go

me i work on my own stuff and i would take the baggie

I enjoy working on my own stuff as well.

I just don't get a warm fuzzy for finding a bike or parts here in the Charlotte area. Awesome bike... wish I could find someone to sell me one within an hour or two of the house..

hi
my rt125 came from erie pa = 2 650 mile plus trips in my truck
and the saxon tour was from Cary NC at almost 1000 mile round trip


Route Summary
Start: Start Point (Charlotte, NC)
End: End Point (columbus, GA)
Totals: 351.2 miles, 5 hours 11 min, 11 turns (Fastest Route)

that 3000usd for a 5000usd bike looks good from here

just thinking out loud

if you get it keep in mind some riders have reported that the
engine is a ruff runner till the thing gets 3000 or 4000 miles on it

my rt125 did not start to really sing till about 5000 miles
and the rotax on the 500 saxon tour is still a bit tight at 7500 miles

also check thing daily as it a single and they shake things loose
with no warning ie tail lamp lens bulbs licence plate bolts
the driver the headlamp and other things toooo great in number
to list
if you never owned a big single your in for a treat
and with 20hp more than my saxon tour be careful how hard you twist
on the tttttttrottle because big air is fun but not when its a suprise

I bought this very one off E-bay.

I'm the one who bought this Baghira off this guy in Tennessee. I live in Brandon, Florida and drove up to pick it up. I contacted the guy after the auction ended and he only wanted 3k for it. It was like brand new with only 7000 miles on it. I love it. It's a daily driver from where I live to St. Petersburg, about 28 miles one way.

Regards,
Scott
