Just a few questions about the ZXR400 please?

[razzcolio]

how many lessons would you advise to take before going in for Mod 1 and Mod 2?

How loud do these beauties purrr at with no baffles in a race can anyone ride one like that?

the way i did it, not sure if any1 else is the same or weather its a standard thing like,
get theory done
day 1 CBT
next day
mod 1 practise day
3 day break
mod 1 test day
7 day break
mod 2 practise day
3 day break
mod 2 test day

kinda how it happens
obv the day inbetween vary on when the school has time to train u and when the dsa has test days available.
and mine took an extra week coz failed my mod 1 the first time. but thats basically the jist. and if u dont feel confident after ur pratise days then just ask for another training day.

as for the exhaust well mine has no baffles and sounds puurrrfect
and i ride her everywhere i can, with no problems,
did get pulled by the popo coming off at some lights rather loud lol .
id video it but shes in the shop atm lol sorry.

So none of you would say the ZXR400 are to old or outdated?

not at all!! these bikes are as beautiful as the first day off the production line!
i was never into sports bikes till i saw these and i still dont like other sports bikes lol but theres something about these bikes
dont think they will eva go out of taste or anything there gud fun

Although it depends what exhaust as they can sound very different. And I didn't rev it's tits off as it was warming up before you ask

isnt that a racefit exhaust? that are like £500 or more lol

It is indeed a Racefit (Growler) exhaust. Good job I know the guys

Still quite pricey though lol

Call insurance companies, dont' assume becuase it's a lower cc it's goign to be cheaper.

That H you posted is a Japanese grey import which means it's harder to get parts for and it's also a sports bike.

A 750 tourer like the one I posted is a different class of bike and a UK bike is easier to get parts for, worth rining around.

Askign a bunch of enthsiats if the bike is bad is a bit one-sided.

In comparrision to a newer bike then yes they are old and outdated.

Depending on how well the bikes been looked in the past and how well you service and maintain it then it can be very reliable or you can be one of the next horror stories of head-gaskets going, cam-chains breaking and generally being run into the ground.

You posted up a twin-light H model.. these look very similar to the NC30 and CBR400rr so I dont' understand why you think they look bad?

In terms of build quality the NC30 is the best among all 400's but some people prefer the inline 4 of the CBR / ZXR to the V4 of the Honda.

Ride as many as you can and dont' rush to buy something unknown.

I'll keep phoning around to get cheaper insurance quotes with the line of "can you beat this" and I just prefer the look of the ZXR, the RVF looks so ugly imo lol.

[razzcolio]

although i will admit they look pretty similar...that rvf is horrible and the Honda isn't any better, there is a distinct difference when u put em all together and the kwak is much better

[razzcolio]

are most of these parts inter changeable between bikes then?

[Adolf]

Wow, I haven't been on this forum in a couple to few weeks been working day shift then backs then days so my sleeping pattern is all over the place so not had time to even log on the computer but rather sleep.

I've almost done with the saving and just another month and I'll have the 2k mark, time to be choosing one soon...
