Hello from Tokyo

Post by BULLET »

Hi my name's Clint and I just recently moved to Tokyo on a 4 year business visa, so it looks like I'll be here for a while;-)
I live in Jingumae, Shibuya which is kinda cool and just picked up a cheap (150,000 yen) ZXR400 which has only 10,000 km and insurance till March 08... bloody bargain and runs like a swiss watch. I found it in the back of an old scooter repairers shed in the mountains amongst maybe 100 broken down scooters, and as you can guess it was love at first site :smt007 Besides the dust it didn't have a scratch on it and only had one owner, he worked for JR so I guess he was always on the train :smt002 Hard to believe but true.... So as you can guess I gladly handed over the cash and that was it, we were married :smt008 I am a very very lucky man

Anyway I'm very happy to be here as I use this site almost everyday and think it's the best thing, well after my bike;-) Also if there are any other fellow ZXR riders in or around Tokyo please let me know, lets hook up and hit MT Fuji :smt003

P.S the link in my sig is for a forum I made to try and get other riders in Tokyo together. It's only new but would be cool to have some riding buddies on those days off. Hope it's ok Mod, please let me know.

It's a 1993 L3 and it cost approx $1500 Australian dollars, so yes about 700 pound I believe.
The documents I have (which are in Japanese) also give these following numbers ZX400L-004634 6767-0001.
I am assuming they are the chassis and build numbers but am not sure, maybe you can set me straight on this.
I also posted a pic in the members bikes gallery so you can take a look, it's the shiny red one :smt002

Oh and btw i just realised, that pic in my profile was taken maybe 10 minutes before I found that old bike shop and the shiny red bull :smt003
