hey there everybody my name is dan i own a k reg zxr 400 L2 . im 23 years old live in croydon and ride around surrey to the ace cafe london, box hill, brighton, and a few othe places im a member of the 59 club so im always at events like the bmf show in peterborough and the brighton burn up just to name two. 2010 was my first visit to the isle of man for the tt and loved it im going again this year. ive only been riding for two years and am loving the zxr 135 on the speedo past the police over the mountain gotta love it ... i was introduced to bikes first by my mum who gave up riding when i was born but rekindled my love for two wheels when i met my current girlfriend who i bought the zxr from . she was also the one who took me to the tt for the first time and left me for dead when it came to the quicker bits ... but i think its just the extra 60 horses and 275 cc.. she owns a daytona 675 (triumph) but still shares an efinity with the zxr. so thats a little about me i look forward to getting to know you all .. dna.

And to enjoy the real pleasures of the Mountain course come and see some real road racers in August for the Manx GP.
Everything from 125s to 1000 twins
Modern Classic and Post Classic the Manx GP has everything and is much happier, friendlier and cheaper too

hellooooooooo! shame about the 675, it's not just the extra horses, there's 15 years of engine design and fuel injection. also better weight reduction. I mean, in 1994, the zxr was about 80% the weight of a cbr600f, now it's the same weight. Based on two thirds the capacity of a 600, and being 80% the weight, a modern zx4r would have about 80bhp, and weigh 135kg dry. Ok, so alot of the weight advantage was an ally frame, but how's about carbon fibre for the main spars? Then we'd show them...
ok, rant over, wlecome anyway. you'll soon learn i waffle alot!

plenty of 80hp ZXRs around and a few alleged to have even more.

i was thinking stock power. So a newly designed 400 race-prepped would in my dream produce maybe 100bhp? maybe 110.
