2005 MZ Baghira Supermoto review from United Kingdom
"Excellent value 'soft' supermoto"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Rear lamp bulb failed at 2500 kilometres.
General comments?
Great engine - Yamaha 660 single cylinder.
Good brakes.
A bit heavier than competitors - enormous exhaust to blame for that...
Very good handling once the forks and rear suspension are adjusted to match one's weight and riding style.
Surprisingly good finish - nothing has rusted through one bad winter, including salt on the roads.
Quite economical - around 50 mpg.
Does go through tyres - needs a rear every 6000 kilometres
Seat not very comfortable at first, but you do get used to it...
