Re: Got Rear-Ended Today.

It sucks when you do everything right and they still find a way to get you. Hope you can find enough parts to repair it.

Nice Zephyr 550

I have no ties to this business, but there is a pristine Zephyr 550 being auctioned off at Kaplan Cycles, which I believe to be in Connecticut or thereabouts. The video is posted to YouTube, which is where I saw it. If ties to bike sales are prohibited, I apologize.

Re: New to Zephyrs

Stereodinary, you aren't the only American on this site, I have a Zephyr 550 and live in western New York. You are the only American who feels the need to inject politics into a forum that provides a lot of good information regarding Zephyrs.

1990 Zephyr 550 California emissions style gas tank

Re: Eddie's 1100

Hi, really nice looking bike. Is that a solid color with just the lights above reflecting off the paint? Feel free to post more pictures. Are you in an area where you are not allowed to be out at all? because it seems like motorcycling is the most self distancing thing you could do. -Dan

Re: Zephyr 550 gas tank *Price Lowered*
