welcome fella. Ive just bought a zxr 400 over the gsxr 400 too. Should be getting it tuesday.
gimme a shout if you want any pics posting up of your new ride.

nice will do mate. Yeah the zxr looks a lot better. I love the hover pipes makes it look hard as nails.

here is just one pic of the bike http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r243 ... zxr400.jpg

Hello mayte and welcome to the forum!

Nice bike, looks shiny!

hello, welcome to zxrworld, it does indeed look tidy that!! can't wait to see the pics!

Just got back from picking the bike up and its f**king raining, been for a little ride (not got a lid yet) so it was a very small ride but f**k me she is quick. My friend that tested the bike for me said he had 110 in 4th and the bloke I bought the bike off said it has been dyno at 68bhp. The bike is a 1995 m reg 19834miles recent new tyres, brake pads, chain & sprokets and cam chain, service about 300 miles ago, 12 months MOT was up for £1400 i paid £1200

Now the Q is should I restrict it to 33bhp remember i've never rode a bike before?

dunno bout restricting it? i'd save your money for the head gasket!

68bhp is pretty bloody healthy for a ZXR400, has he got dyno charts? I do believe there is a correction factor or something that has to be considered.

Restrict it? Make your own, chances are you wont need to provide a certificate and when you feel you know the bike a bit more take them out

Ah nonsence, restrict it? WHY!!!!! lol thats the best part about this bike the high revs its what puts the smile on your face . all you need to do is take it easy for a couple of months an get the feel of the bike.

oi copying my paint job!!

Sorry that's what i bought it like
found a good site for the zxr400 based in manchester. Some nice race systems??

Took the bike out this morning borowed a lid off a friend and i think i will restrict her. Because to me it feels like i'm trying to tame 1of satan's satanic hell hounds It's very hard to take it easy all i want to do is open her up.
Like it has been said it's the high rev's that put's a smile on ur boat race.

i wouldnt worry about it mate, ive only had a couple of goes on mine and you get used to it. Just be sensible and dont open it up too much until you get used to it.

I always wana open it up but need to resist, plus i dont want brown trousers lol
