Introducing myself with my ZXR story :)
Posted: Sun Jul 02, 2017 10:46 am
So my story is this 13 years ago (I worked it out) my Sisters ex had a ZXR 400 H1 and I wanted it, BADLY, he refused to sell it to me as my sister would have killed him lol I've wanted one ever since and in that time I've watched there value go up to a point where I'd pretty much resigned myself to the fact I'd never own one anyway a couple of months ago my mate got his hands on one (he swapped it for an MG ZS lol) and it needed a LOT of work, full restoration pretty much, but she ran . he took it apart and after about 4 months he realized he had neither the told, the skill or the money for the job and he knew how badly I wanted it so I got a phone call that went like this -
Him - "I've just been thinking and I don't think this Ninja is ever getting done and I did promise you I would offer it to you first so do you want it?"
Me - "Depends on how much you want for it and if I can afford it bud"
Him - "£100?"
Me - "I'll go to the bank" lol
The bike hasn't seen a road in so long that it had the old style reg papers lol it does need a full restoration but I'm capable of doing that and it did run spot on before he took it apart and I know that's true as I helped him get it running the best part is it's not been used in so long it's only done 22k :O
Anyway. Hello to everyone and expect me to be asking questions lol
