Hello from Leeds

[crashbroonie]

Hello just joined after buying an L3 model ZXR from Baz (well almost bought it, rest of wonga on Tues / Weds Baz when my other half gets paid!).

A bit about me then- I'm the wrong side of forty (ok fifty then) and this will be my 33rd bike since i started riding at 17 years old. Have had all sorts of stuff Beemers, Ducati's, tons of Jap stuff from a Yam 50 to an FJ1200.

About 18 months ago I started feeling my age and bought a maxi scooter (Burgman 400) but that got nicked within 6 months and I haven't had a bike for alomst a year (first time ever in my adult life). Theiving scum did me a favour though really, as it has been a very frustrating year without a bike and has re-kindled my enthusiasm for a proper bike.

So what to get? The truth is I have always had a soft spot for ZXR400's and as I wanted a bike that was physically quite small (I'm only a tiddler you see!), it was the obvious choice. Am looking forward to getting back on two wheels and having a good old blast with my mates. Will let you know how I get on with the bike when I have put a few miles under my belt.
Cheers
Chris Brown a.k.a crashbroonie.

Good choice, i'm in wakefield.

We have the advantage or a zxr400 breaker and tuner within a few miles of us.

That be 'falloffslowly' then. Good chap, and i think he usually does alot of engine work before he sells them on too so the bike you get will be good. Welcome to the forum anyways and hope you enjoy the bike!!
