If you *had* to ride a different bike, what would you pick?

The early 13s were carburettors and had a shorter wheel base making them wheelie monsters. The later fuel injected ones had a longer wheel base and were harder to wheelie

So, which one was the full bagger? Or were both versions offered that way? I tried to find a picture or a video of him wheelieing one. I remember seeing one back in the day, but apparently it never made it to digital.

I’m not even sure a bagger version was offered in the UK. Here they were just Z1300s

Yeah, I've never been a Honda fan, but when it comes to long distance motorcycling in comfort . . . . not much compares to a 'Wing. Suzuki had the Cavalcade, Yamaha had several Ventures, and Kawi had the Voyager. None of them could compete.

Not sure how the new one can provide the cocoon that the last gen did. The new one reminds me of the ST 1300.

I was cruising at about 40mph in 3rd gear @ 3k rpm on my new ride. I gassed it and the clutch slipped to about 8k rpm almost instantly. It had just had a factory issued service bulletin done on the clutch. I came home and got on my S10. I just sent a text to my sales about the clutch. No response

My hi school buddy had a red 76' KZ900 LTD. Finest bike I ever saw. A week later his dog chewed about half the seat off of it. He didn't even worry about it. Foam hanging out the sides. He would pull wheelies and ride out of site
