Hey Alec,

nice to read from you... Nice Bike you have got there.. It looks so much different if she is ready to go :-) I am about to get my Baghi done for the big ride.

How did you get along with it. Have you had difficulties?

Hi Leonie,

they're a great bike. The engine's built by Yamaha, so is pretty reliable. They're not a very popular bike in the UK as not many people relate the name MZ and trail bikes! A shame really, as it's a very underrated bike.

We took one in last week that was 2 years old, had a genuine 7,000 miles on the clock, was in mint condition and it came in at 1,300 GBP. I just wish I had the spare dosh as I'd have bought it there and then. Needless to say it was bought the same day!

Regards

The Cameraman

Baghira bike parts

I had a german couple stop by on their RTW trip this summer. They got parts in canada at a yamaha shop because here in canada and the usa this motor is used in a 4 wheeler. So come on by if you get to the states.

Livolout in Colorado

Alec just posted a pic of his MZ. I recognized the custom aluminum tank. Met Alec at the 05 Colorado HU Meeting... Ray from Kamloops (DR650) and I (KLR) had wondered how the MZ made out over the past year. Following through Alec's posts, it looks like things went well. Great to hear ....You'll see part of Alec's rubber-gloved hand in the attached pic as he was half way through changing the MZ's oil...Ain't the HUBB great!!

MZ Baghira two up? and looking for travel accessories?

Hi Livotlout and everyone,

I am new to the HUBB, and i am finding it very informative thanks to our hosts Susan and Grant and all travelers out there. I have owned my MUZ Baghira for about 3 years now and can say that it is a really sturdy bike, i have not done any long trips except to Itlay, where it did pretty good. One thing i have found difficult with my MUZ is finding accessories. anyone has got any good sites please? I would also like to hear from anyone who has travelled long distances two up with a same bike? cause i am considering changing bike maybe to a Honda Africa Twin to travel two up due to the heavier load.

I dream

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love.
