My bike from august 1991 until march 1997
Roskilde, Denmark, june 1993
This is a very basic bike, a so called 'naked' bike (with 'retro' look). A no nonsense bike: a
frame, wheels, engine, tank, seat and handlebars, that's it. It did inherit
a bit of the looks of the famous Z900. Looks great, doesn't it?!
