Hi all....I can't wait!!!

Post by CarneyUK »

Hi all,

Just passed my bike test and have been on the lookout for a ZXR400. Just gotta get the cash sorted. Awesome website and forums! Both have helped me alot in looking for a new bike, thanks to you all!

First sat on a ZXR400 9 years ago and have loved them ever since. Made the mistake of getting my car licence first. I can't wait to have my own ZXR400!!!

Hi

I have a Honda NSX for fun and a VW Golf 1 for driving to work and also a ZX9R. I can not drive any of them because I lost my licence for 3 months for speeding.

You can imagine having a NSX and a ZX9R outside your door and not beeing able to use them..sad..but I have only myself to blame :)

Hi

Yes it is a Honda. I have never been a Honda motorcycle man always liked the Kawasakis and especially the green ones.

The Honda NSX is truly a great car. Old but really ahead of it's time.

DONE IT AT LAST.....just put my £100 deposit on my ZXR400 L2. Just gotta wait for the rest of the dosh (next week) then it gets delivered to my house.

Gotta get the restrictor fitted, then I'm on my way.

I'll be the one wobbling down the road and stalling at the lights :smt046
