I've wanted another bike for a while. Sportbikes are meant to be ridden fast... and right now that's not in my budget! The ZX7R got angry at me that I was betraying her and threw a fit. Angry beech, I said eff that and chucked her the dueces on the junkie price. She’s fixed up and that hoochie is giving pleasure to another junkie! So I started looking for either a v-twin or a single cylinder bike so I could utilize the power when city riding and occasionally take out to the twisties. Done a few months of research to find out what I want.
After some searching, and some thought I picked up something exotic! I was torn for a while but bit the bullet this week. Every-time I stop somewhere everyone asks what the eff this thing is. It's a 2003 MZ 'Baghira' Street Moto. It’s a German company that’s been around longer than BMW (look it up). It comes factory with cool stuff like a reliable 660cc Single Yamaha Raptor motor, A WP rear adjustable shock, Marzocchi Forks (same as KTM), Stainless Lines, Behr Wheels (same as KTM SM), grimeca brakes, Factory Acerbis Plastics, and some other chit. I have some plans for it but mainly aesthetically pleasing stuff and fixing a couple things.
I’ve been scooting it around this week and it’s been a blast. It’s geared 4+ right now so it’s not a speed demon on the highway, but it’s a beast on the streets! Makes my drive to work awesome! Going to go back w/ 15T front and a 45T rear to balance it a bit.
If you see me rolling up asking M-Effers for some Grey Poupon, holler! I’ll be that brother swaggin’ w/ the utmost excellent posture riding the thing that sounds like an automatic shotgun w/ my pinky up. Swag.

The brake....yep....it´s an Brembo P4 4 caliper brake, a Nissin 5/8 pump (from a Suzi TL 1000 or Yamaha R1 from ´02 etc.), custom made caliper adapter based on the SPIEGLER adapter, different brake line and a BRAKING 320mm disk. I´ve changed the pads to something better, SBS pads, art. number 566RS. They do their job very well. Spiegler don´t built the adapter anymore, so they send me the plans of it and a other firm made it for me. You must set the front wheel for ca. 2mm to the right because the disk slides at the fork if you don´t do that.
