As Roger states doing Asifs commute on a non faired bike would be tough, I think some kind of protection from the elements is essential. And anyway ZRX s are far to nice to be sloshing through all that salt, and winter shite. Great bike yes, winter bike, I dont think so.  :smiley:
What would you rather be   or a wasp?

When two speed wipers heated rear windows and servo brakes were a costly option, only cross ply tyres were standard equipment in those (halcyon) days  :mfr_lol:
