I always fancied a zephyr in the 90's, but I got stuck with my shitbox gpz305 that I couldn't trade in with anyone, not even for a gs500

For 2k I'd probably have a punt at that, it's not hideous....

£2k, are you mad!

I'd rather spend £1500 on a Firestorm and the rest on suspension and tyres... or Spend £1800 on a Big Red Bus

Probably lol but I'd buy it because of how it looks, a Firestorm looks like a Firestorm.
Now the BRB does appeal however I have a ST1050 that does those duties.

There's no airbox, the front mudguard is almost off and it's got square tyres.

Ten minutes to do the mudguard, add a brown seat and it's done, complete with patina.

I've just had a look on t'bay for XS650's, to see if the Hipster demand had driven the prices up, but they still seem sensible money.

Although I did spot this minger!

Well, it might be... were it not the most evil bastard handling bike I've ever ridden.

And I give it a couple of weeks before the rear drum cracks.

So who thinks this

looks better than this

I get that some people like the spoke wheel thing and getting rid of the plastichrome bits has crossed my mind before too but other than that

It will probably have lost all it's low and middle range power too with those pipes, what a waste

I like 'some' of the features of the customised one - mainly just the bars tbh. Really don't like that headlight.
