Hi, Im Michael
I joined the forum not so long ago, as i was hoping to buy a zxr400, ive finally found one thats close to home but am not to sure, i haven't been for a look yet, but probably will do. I was just hoping some of you guys could give a bit of advice:

Its had 4 Owners, Rear and front tyre are new, oil and filter changed recently along with brake pads, cam chain and tensioner.
really what i want to know is whether 25000miles is alot for a 2002 bike and whether its a good buy?

Thanks In Advance
Michael

Hi,

I would want to see receipts of the work that had been carried out.
25k isnt a massive amount of miles, but its a fair whack.
2grand for it? i dont think so.

This was built by a dude in here if i remember correctly

Dont be afraid of getting the train there and riding it back.

Thanks for the quick response, he's lowered the price although i still think he's asking way to much (£1795). would you expect anything else to have been done on the bike.....head gasket? carbs balancing??
the link you posted is that one you recommend?

Thanks
Michael
