Excellent Engine From Yamaha (xtz 660) Five Valve
Excellent engine from Yamaha (XTZ 660) five valve single. Strong and unbreakable.Italian front forks (Marzocci), WhitePower rear shock.... superb handling... you can throw this around on country roads and blast through traffic with one of the easiest handling bikes on the road.Great riding position. Very high in the saddle... again brilliant on country roads and in traffic... eye level same as big SUV. Stainless steel complete exhaust/silencer as standard fitting!Cheap insurance group.
Despite the bad points mentioned I have rated this bike at 9/10.I've been riding since the early 1970s and have owned and ridden all kinds of bikes. This has got to be one of the easiest to ride and superb fun on back roads (I live in the Scottish hills) and in traffic filtering through rush hour is a breeze. Can't be thrashed as the electronic ignition will cut out if past the red line. Very good riding position gives excellent control of steering and scratching along twisty roads brings out the best in this bike.Power Kit available for about £400... this will add another 10hp, an amazing boost in performance.At the end of the day if you don't want a bike for long distance but commute regularly or live in the sticks.. this just might be the perfect machine...

Excellent Bike For Twisty Back Roads And Navigatin
Excellent bike for twisty back roads and navigating the city with beat up roads. I'd buy another....and put some light parts on her with some strict dirt shoes. Go play on the trails....

The Mz Baghira Street Moto Has Enough Power, Reall
The MZ Baghira Street Moto has enough power, really good parts, and it is nice looking.
I used to own an MZ Baghira Street Moto, and I sold it because I thought I needed something else. It was such an awesome bike! Fun as hell to ride, easy to start, it looked cool, and it sounded great with the after market pipe. What was I thinking? Now I surf the web trying to find one, and there aren't any!

The Mz Baghira Street Moto Starts On The Button Ev
The MZ Baghira Street Moto starts on the button every time . Its a collection of proprietry high quality kit all bolted together to form a deceptively high quality package . Its not a full on supermoto , its far too heavy and doesn't have the right power to weight ratio but it looks a bit like one . Its real fun to ride and extremely manageable. Its as lightweight as most street bikes and doesn't have the quirky temperament as more competition derived machinery . Does what it says on the tin . Write ups are mostly favourable , not everyone likes the looks but I don't notice the looks when I'm riding it .
Some people find the Baghira's looks a bit unconventional, others prefer to stick with hardware from the 'big-four'. I find MuZ a refreshing contribution from the European bike manufacturing industry and still think wistfully of bikes like the lamented Gilera Nordwest, the RC600, Aprilia Tuareg 600 and similar stuff. At a time when Japanese offerings are growing more and more ungainly and expensive and when much-loved tried and tested bikes (such as the XT-600, the Dominator, XR-650, KLR 650, DR 650) are being ditched in favour of abominable replacements, the Baghira comes across as a realistically priced, stylish and streamlined design sporting high-quality parts hooked up to a 'bulletproof' engine and bolted together by solid German workmanship that the Japanese can only dream of emulating.
