MZ Motorcycle reviews

Had a 2003 Baghira Street Moto for a year now. Funnest bike I think I've ever had. Had a Rich's custom seat made for it, turned it into a true all day ride. Mountain twisties, rough roads, smooth roads, gravel roads, roads with holes, railroad tracks, whatever, this thing just bombs over everything. The Yamaha 660 motor is reliable and easy to service, the suspension (WP and Marzochi) is top notch on this bike too. Supermotards are getting to be the bike of choice (for guys other than poseurs and flat out racers) at places like Deal's Gap for a reason. They are truly a hoot in the mtns, everywhere, all the time. And this bike gets a look no matter where I park it. And non-motorcyclists always have to comment about it or ask about it. Show less

I bought the Baghira for a commuter from work to home and ended up with a great little toy. This thing is zippy and fun in the corners and in town no worries. Small enough to go anywhere but big enough to handle 70 for long periods of time. I have taken it trail riding a few times to avoid traffic (I love this part) and it does this well. This thing is fun though I dont like the exhaust and the headlight is sort of cheap. The rest of the bike is top notch. I think this one will stay with me for years to come. Show less

Excellent bike 6700 miles in 14 months 70 mpg. I now also have a 1995 mz saxon tour 500cc(rotax motor)it is like new. Went almost 1000 miles in one weekend on it. 500 has the power and runs sweet but rt125 handles better. Show less

I have owned a new black 2002 MZ RT125 for two months, ridden 1000 miles. Previously owned BMW-R80 and Honda CB450 on which I crossed US from California to New York. RT125 is light and nimble with adequate acceleration (I weigh 190 lbs) even with two up. Runs on regular gas and gets 75 mpg with top speed of 65 mph. Still breaking in six speed, neutral and first gear sometimes difficult to find. Seat is high (32"), wide, firm and accommodating over time. Rear shock is factory set for 165 lbs and needs adjusting for greater weight, which raises seat above 32" and changes head light angle. Engine vibration is well controlled (tighten nuts connecting exhaust to engine block every oil/filter-$10 change, 2000 miles) and braking good. Signal light is not self cancelling and you drive for miles with light flashing. I have added a SlipStream Spitfire windscreen which is well proportioned to this size bike. I would like to add panniers but have not found a system that fits. I am generally pleased with the bike's performance thus far. Show less

almost 3000 miles in 6 months and doing great if you need a small one that gets good mileage this is a nice one i even take long weekend trips and 300 and 400 mile days on it I went 220 miles in 5 hours coming back from a bike rally in aug of 2002 Show less

Light and easy to ride, good acceleration and brakes. A superb six speed gearbox, very little vibration even at high revs, a pleasure to use. Th paint and finish are the BEST I have ever seen, on any bike at any price in 30 years of motorcycling. Comfortable to ride and totally reliable, a good value for money. I would recommend the RT 125. Show less
