Post by maz66 »

Evening gents! (and ladies)

im new here and have been looking around at the other posts for days!
lot of good info here :smt023

im basically trying to sell my car, to get a zxr400..real bad!! aghh!!

ive got about £1600 do you guys think i could possibly get a nice tidy L model for that?? as i dont know f*** all about bikes nor do i know anyone who does! (all into cars)

looking forward to being a zxr400 rider (someday :smt010 )

How ever its also a lot wetter and colder, which is why they are cheap, and why my bke will sit in my shed for a few months, if I can find a nice Honda Civic 1.5 LSi

Hehehehe cheers mate, i no longer have that ZXR anymore tho, engine went on me :smt012

However i got another one about a year and a half later and did this to it

http://www.bikepics.com/members/RobB/93zxr400/

Havent got anything done that i planned to do to it this summer, only the oval exhaust i got for it. All because of this

http://www.bikepics.com/members/RobB/97zx7r/

Plan was to get the 400 painted this year and, next year get the engine blueprinted and bored to 444cc

Most definately, although i think the 400 will do it no probs i think it might take its toll on me! Itll just be alot easier on me and the bike if i take the ZX7 :smt001

i think the zx7 is a good move.

i will very likely be on an R1, baz will be on his 1100 (which will look fookin mint! only in primer so far but looks the nuts) ansd another lad very likely on his gsxr600
