i was out today on the city fly, Stopped at Oakdene, then went to Ide Hill, did the steep narrow hill I struggled on, on the T80, everything was fine on the Fly.
I could lay my hands on a couple of MZ150 now, but quite honestly they are not much good in modern traffic, poor brakes, gearbox, electrics, I had a TS250 super5, and would like another one of them.

Did a test run today, about 80 miles, fully loaded as in the piccies earlier.
Felt fine, handled well, and still hit 70 on the A2 being sucked along with all the other traffic !!
Normal max is 60 though :P
Rob's rack did the job well too, nice and solid, so i have confidence now for Germany.
If your going to be doing speeds like that ....... your on your own.

Prob. better - the new motor is a long way from being as economical as the old one... I went through 12 litres in 300 miles last weekend.

Alan CF, needs to sell the gem cg125 now, as there no rareness to it :lol:

Easily mod a cg125 to look like an MZ, just change tank mounts on frame :)
