Just thought I'd introduce myself and take advantage of this moment to "pick" your brains if you like with a little dilemma I have. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated so thanks well in advance.
British born but live in Cyprus most of my life. Being surrounded by sea offers a profound amount of tranquility I have to say. Mad about bikes but always on the look out for a bike with character. Will the ZXR be my next bike? Well... that's were you come in.
By a complete stroke of fate I stumbled across a brand spanking new ZXR400. She's a minter, with 00000 km's on the clock and the last action she's really seen was being wheeled into a showroom and then a basement. Year of manufacture is 2001, whilst year of import to Cyprus 2002. Now I've just sold my CB400 which served me well but as I said, character is essential and the CB400 well... bland is the word that springs to mind.
The dealer is asking for 2 grand for her, roughly 2,4 sterling which in my mind is a steal. I suppose what I'm asking for is, why do you think i should spend 2 grand on a zxr400?
A couple of concerns on my end are: What are the implications of a bike laying dormant for so long (6 years really)? I know for a fact that there is 0 parts availability here in Cyprus, but what about elsewhere?
Your suggestions are GREATLY welcomed at this point
Cheers!
