When I was in high school, ZEPHYR was released.
In the midst of the racer replica boom, there were rumors that it was “numbingly slow.” <\/strong>

Day by day, I noticed more ZEPHYRs appearing on the streets.

In the first place, the 550 with the reverse green (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)
This is my favorite color\u2014it makes the whole bike look smaller, appears black at night, and it’s a color that’s two-for-one, so to speak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A gem product\u2014”Ceramic Compound”\u2014to polish the beat-up exterior and make it “glossy.” <\/a><\/strong>

I polished it the other day, so we’re all set.
I’ll tackle the fuel cap and petcock another time… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design that evokes the era is so cool. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ZEPHYR (Zephyr 400) feels like the most well-balanced design compared to the 750 or 1100. <\/strong>
“Neither round nor angular,” <\/strong>it’s a perfect design.

Well, honestly, I just love air-cooled naked bikes… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

C1\/2 Unfortunately, there’s no fuel gauge, so you have to be careful. (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, honestly, I’m super fickle, <\/strong>so I thought I’d keep the exterior in good condition while I can.
That said, I’ve been searching for this for a whole year.

There really aren’t any decent Inazuma fairings out there…
Anyway, that was my self-satisfied world!
