New un with something a wee bit different.

Post by wrx-maniac-22 »

Firstly hello all.
Right here goes -I gave up road riding an decided to do trackdays only,i bought an srad 600 which is fantastic at its job if a bit steady.So i decided to start looking for something quicker which is where my zxr400 comes in,i saw it advertised and test rode it although it was a work in progress i had to have it.
The bike is fitted with a 900 FireBlade engine :excited and a few other bits cant remember all of it(details to follow in resto thread)I do realise it would probably be better/cheaper to buy something else but thats not really what i want to do.
So my plan is over winter a full rebuild including parts upgrade poss engine re-build etc.I have no mechanical experience and will probably be asking for plenty of advice so cheers in advance,and full resto thread to follow soon......
