Hello there, my name is wendy im 20yrs young and kind of addicted to bikes, ride a cbr600f now but soon to be a proud owner of my (secondhand) NEW zxr400l
the cbr just doesnt do it for me im a kawasaki fan really i used to ride the zzr600 but swaped that for the cbr now swapping this for a zxr400 WAHOOO!!! :smt026 i hope ive done the right thing....please tell me ive done the right thing lol i had a test ride on the zxr4 and couldnt keep the front down and the exceloration was so much more than my 33bhp cbr600 :smt003 . just thought ide drop by and see what all the fuss was about at theses biker forums.
hope i am welcome on this sight as i dont own a zxr as of yet but i wil do in two weeks lol i have dropped a diposit and now having alot of sleepless nights keep waking up muttering them 3 magical letters ZXR ZXR ZXR ZXR ZXR ZXR ZXR lol

yup good bikes bags of power an great cornering ability plus they are fairly easy to fix not bad and you get that fiesty kwak attitude as well so coming from the safe steady reliable honda to the kwack will be brill :smt003 :smt003 :smt003

Well, i have no blooming idea about the zxr just the guy gave me a funny look cos he atually said he was scared of it thats why he was getting rid of it and when i tuck my helmet off and revealed i was a 20 yr old female biker,i think he felt a bit embarased lol....
he said the bike had been tuned by a ducati firm YABADABADOOOOOOOO!!! i dont know how true this is...
its a 1995 L5 and its got ohlins bits and brembo breaks on it, its frame has been chromed and its shiney!!! :D it isnt green :( its black metal flake will be having more bits on the bike when i get it, cos i do that to all my bikes :)
Question: can i fit a steering damper to the zxr and would it benefit from one? :smt102
AND I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE THE NAME MY MUM THOUGHT OF DOR HER, "WILLOW" :)

hi, bike sounds nice ... you MUST post pics when you have it.

steering damper mount is on the frame as standard, so its an easy bolt on job... shouldnt need one though
