i will get round to finishing the zxr400 at some point, i have the new engine actually in the frame, i just have no clue where all the pipes go as i didn't take any pics when i took it apart.

anyway, was getting impatient that i have a non working bike and the weather is so good, so went and bought this today..

picking it up on the 28th when i've been paid

Oh nice, get a decent exhaust on it tho, that can looks like a navy ship cannon. Also it will make it sound nice

"allegedly" a zx6r can will fit according to the guy i'm buying the bike from. not too sure myself, it does look like the same fitting, but need to find somebody with a 6r to let me try their can before i go wasting money on one.

they get praised for their handling.

108bhp, same kinda specs as most 600's really except it's british rather than jap.

Lovely bike. I bought a 675 in November, and I am extremely happy with it.

I put a Yoshi RS-5 on mine, and it made a huge difference. (pic from behind).

Have fun with your new toy.
