An old newbie

Post by zxrob »

Well me being a bit of a kwak man I have now added a zxr400 L to the collection (bought from a site member)

Ok, heres me

50 year old who spends way to much time and money fecking about with bikes' have a F model zx9 for the road and a L model zxr750 for playing on the tracks, the 400 will be used for having a bit of fun on the smaller circuits :smt001

Now servicing the big 750 but will be looking at the little 400 in due course

Will be looking to make the little beggar, stop, turn and hold a line, so basically braking and handleing,power aint a real issue cause if it was I'd have got a zx10

Will no doubt firing many questions soon, be patient with me :smt003

wlecome!
nice bikes, makes me realise how much i love older sports bikes. I mean no matter how good the new s1000rr is, it just looks like the bodywork has been attacked with a a lawnmower! Mid-90s is the era for me. Little looks better than a nicely painted zxr400 or maybe '94 blade in 'Urban Tiger'.
I do 700 miles a week in all weathers including snow, that's roughly 35,000 miles a year, and some weekend warrior biker has the nerve to get out of his Audi at work to tell me to I was riding far too fast in the wet (over taking at 50... fast eh?).
