hello to you all my name is dean i live in devon and i have been looking at the old site a lot over the past few weeks trying to see which is the better 400(gsxr or zxr)and i have chosen the zxr400 and i am picking it up this afternoon. I will try to put some pictures on later, just popped in to say hello
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.
CAN'T WAIT MY 1ST EVER BIKE AND I'M NOT THAT YOUNG (32)BUT YOUNG AT HEART
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?
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.
Remember speed kills, so does smoking, drinking, drugs, fast food and many more good things
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
