Now im midway through 17 and iv caught the ninja bug :smt007 going to get the zxr400 in the picture below sunday hopefully :smt003 Its a 1999 wth 17,000 miles, it has 2 new tyres, chain and sprockets. It has 32mm carbs and a race exhaust. what you think and what type of price should i be looking at?

Welcome mate, didnt we speak yesterday on Trackmania?

Youll, be needing this so you know what to look out for http://www.zxrworld.co.uk/zxr400/buyers.html

Personally all those stickers arent my taste, so that would lower the price a bit for me and they would be coming off soon as i got it home. That can looks like a standard exhaust thats been cut down and the generator cover has been painted grey, but otherwise it looks good, some service history would be ideal too. Price wise dont think id pay more than 1300-1500 quid for it.

Not you then! :smt005

Is the stainless steel system fitted? Because the one in that photo looks very much like the standard system which is just plain steel.
