Sorry to take so long to post a 'hello, world' type picture but for all and sundry here is my bike. It's an early Japanese import dating from 1990, zxr400 H2.

Yes, I know I paid too much (£870 ) , yes I know it's tatty but it's mine and I love it .

Mick.

not that bad a price mate, nice looking bike, nice to see different paint jobs instead of the same old same old.welcome to the forum!!

[mickthemirkin]

Thanks for that, Master!

Not sure who did the paint but it's very rough close up. Best look from a distance!

haha is the paint ruff as in feel or just ruff as in sh** lol lake the stickers off and redo the paint bikes are easy to get right as they are section unlike cars(i found out the hard way lol)

[mickthemirkin]

Neither, Liam. Rough as in some idiot has thrown it down the road on not one, but both sides in the past :wanker

Still, doesn't look too bad for a 19 year old bike I suppose, from a distance that is!

[liam7200]

haha no way the paint does not look that bad is it just the varnish that scratched

[mickthemirkin]

Yes, in truth most damage is just superficial, really. Like you say, scratches here and there and a very small dent in the top of the tank (would love to know how he did that one - riding inverted I'll bet!). Other than that, nothing a tube of autosol and some elbow grease won't cure.

well from where i stand it looks f*#kin cool, more power to yer elbow !
