Motorcycle to go with Z4

alan64 · 02-07-2010, 05:50 AM

so does anyone have a bike to go with their sports car? If so what does it look like?

mrboon · 02-07-2010, 06:44 AM

I saw a review in a BMW mag where they took the new Z4 out for a day, together with this BMW bike.

that new bmw k1300 gt looks like it goes well with the z4

it's difficult to drive a z4 and a bike at the same time, so why bother ?

I rode over 60,000 miles on various Hondas when I was in my 20's (CB350, CX500, and VF750). Now I drive sports cars instead. But I still have a 1971 Honda CT70, does that count?

This one suits me fine..
