Sadly, I have to agree with Mike.
Figures show that there are about 77,000 75 & ZTs out there. Active membership of this club is 1,072. (less than 1.5% of the ownership). The other 98.5%, in the main, don't give a monkeys.

As there are a number of members who own more than one 75, this distorts the figures.

I had a Suzuki FZ50 that I had picked up for peanuts 20 + years ago. I had ridden it a couple of times but 30mph flat out is scary on anything other than around town so it sat in the garage until I was offered what I thought was a silly amount of money for it. It had done less than 500 miles from new and when I washed the dust off it looked like new. |

Once I was in Ormskirk (I think) and I approached a lay-by that was just full of Hells Angels types on their Sunday run-out. They saw me approach and they all stood and cheered and waved and sounded their horns as I went by and they weren't taking the Michael. Often bikers on big machines raise a hand when coming the other way which they never do when I'm out on my 125cc bike. And it is also 43 years old now (44 in 2022) so I'm obviously passionate about it. Comment most often heard? "Ooh, my Mum used to have one of those!" |

It surprises me that there are so many 'new' members joining but not many go on to thank for the Welcome Reply or indeed to make any comment/query anywhere else, it would appear?
