Hello from north of the border

Hey all, just found this site last night, thought I'd sign up to the forum and introduce myself.

Haven't bought myself a ZXR yet, but will do as soon as I pass my test - gonna have to do the restricted license (gutting! 'cos I'm only 18 ) Anyway, can't wait to get rid of my current bike (Honda Shadow VT125 - nice bike, but cruiser, and slow, and tiny, and slow, and did I mention slow?) and jump on a ZXR - booking theory test for big bike license on saturday so one step further to getting it!

Anyway, I'm off to drool over some more photos and ebay listings

Heh, yeah - way ahead of you mate, had been looking over those the other night when I found this site . I'm loving this colour scheme, can anybody tell me what year it is? http://www.zxrworld.co.uk/coppermine/di ... =1&pos=128

Been reading over some of the stat-sheets on wikipedia, etc, aswell - been reading anything and everything on the net about these bikes the last few days (was trying do decide upon a first 'big bike' and was close run between ZXR 400 and ZZR 600 - the £40 a month insurance for ZXR400 helped alot, lol) - just can't wait to get my @$$ on one now, lol

The blue/white/green colourschemes ran for most of the production life of the ZXR400. I'd guess somewhere around 1994-96 for that particular variation on the theme.

but someone will be along in a minute who actually owns one of them in that scheme.

welcome to the forum, you made a good choice! the zzr600 is completely different to the zxr400, you can throw the zxr400 around more.
