Now 20 years later, I simply can't let the Honda slip bye. If I can get a damn test ride that is. But I STILL regret not being able to buy that Kawasaki. At the time it was the only retro in town.
Ah, the Zephyr. Basically a carbon copy of the KZ bikes of 10 years earlier. I was shopping for a new ride in the mid 90s too and thought I was going to end up with a Zephyr, but by that time Kaw had given up trying to sell the Zephyr in the U.S. and the Honda Nighthawk 750 was the only mid-large UJM you could buy. I bought the Nighthawk and still have it. Wouldn't mind having a Zephyr to keep the CBs company.
