Wots the differencer looking to buy and just curiious

ZXR250A = Older model
ZXR250C = New model :yes:

Simmilar to a CBR250R and a CBR250RR. Easiest way to pick is the A model has 2 round headlights and the C model has one large headlight. Im not too sure of other differences. Does the A model have USD forks and larger rear wheel? :whocares:

I heard somewhere that the zxr250a were heavier?
www.importmc.com.au and goto compliance, has various colours for each model

I HEARD SOMEWHERE


Sorry - just came from the Winjanites thread.:doh:

I heard somewhere that both were Kawamasazakis. That's the difference between them. :confused:

The C model is the most desirable because of it's looks, which means it is more expensive. And the A model is heavier

The ZXR has more tourque than the CBR and has a longer wheelbase, but supposedly the CBR is the faster of the 2. It's really a matter of personal preference

N4CR

Sif a ZXR is slower jeeezzzz why are they so sought after :D

I'm sure this has been posted before recently but ill do it again:

ZXR250A is heavier, different frame and engine design (different mounts etc from memory), more spokes from the center of the wheel (5 as opposed to 3 splitting into 2 each), KCAS 'cool air system' instead of the same system but called 'ram air' on the C model (!oh god a sticker!), twin individual headlights, different brakes from memory (I got a ZXR A rear on mine :|).

Much rawer feeling/less user friendly than the cbr imo.

I reckon they're evenly matched in performance. CBR might be faster cause it's lighter

ZXR still looks better

They are both equally fast at legal speeds....

Buy a CBR if you're a tiny fella

Otherwise you will be happy with either ZXR - I seriously doubt you will be troubled by the performance diff between them......they're both dast enough in the real world:yes:

The 250A is 171kg dry (shudder) :devil2:

Both of those specs were from the manuals of the respective bikes.

That bike site aint always right either :( eg 3pot callipers on some nutty race bikes which have 6 pots etc etc and some bikes with shit amounts of HP when they actually have much more.

Meh. best site out there at the moment

http://www.importmc.com.au/bikes/mc22/index.htm CBR- 158kg
http://www.importmc.com.au/bikes/zxr250c/index.htm ZXR - 171kg

You should go down to Taupo next track day. Might get a chance to compare the bikes properly instead of relying on what we find on the net

Yeah I thaught that would be noticeable untill I held a early 1980's (BIG HEAVY SQUARE SEXY LUMP) GSXR-1000. It didnt feel any heavier than most bikes but it probably weighed over 220kg O_o

Actually, top speed is determined more by power and aerodynamics. Weight factors very slightly into the equation.

In conclusion, ZXRs are better in every way than CBRs

A's (IMO) look too much like a suzuki/cbr etc as they all have same headlights and front fairings :(. The whole A being faster might be as you have more space to move around/freedom.. interesting though.

the ZXR A model is 140kg dry weight!!!

trust me man, my old POS GF250's are sposed to be 160 and the zxr is a lot lighter dry, but the higher tank positon makes it feel heaver with a full tank.

meh! im off to get drunk again (loves uni holidays)

Tristan stop being a ghey, get off you computer (let it rest from the eternal rapage you have been bestowing on it with CS101 work) and get your ass to shadows - would be good to catch up for a drink sometime

I dont think the A's faster, I smoked one yesterday.

Was winding up to about 185 and I couldnt even see him in the mirror, poor guy. But then again I was filtering :D

thats cos he was IN FRONT OF YOU :rofl:

either way i thought u engine was like super mod edition with all the shiney stickers that give it like 10hp extra :devil2:

i'd love to have a mildly tweaked engine, im sure im gonna get better performance outa mine once i sort out the clutch

hehehe, checky - yes my engine is tricked out so it isnt a fair comparision, I do like working on the A's though they are alot bigger.

Whats the story with the clutch? Do you need new plates? I sold my spares I have a clutch basket if you need it but.

Excuse me!

Gareth you fucker :motu: I see zxr250C's being quoted at 141kg and some 'ZXRs' at 171kg while in the manual it specifically states the C's are 141kg as well. Nothing 'official' eg manual, states A's are 141kg (there is no information).

If ya can find it in a manual i'll believe ya ;)

It might actually be the WET weight... not sure though.

they are both the same weight? or close enough...
the c looks better
and the c is faster?
any one here got a zxr and is about 6"2 and about 100kgs?
cause thats me and i want a c.. better bike but hopefully aint to big

Well I'm a lot smaller and lighter that that (more like 5'8 and 70kg) and am having no issues with mine regarding size/weight. If anything I'd say make sure your not going to be too cramped leg-wise.

You're practically screwed if you want comfort on a 250 sports bike. The CBR is smaller, but the ZXRs are only slightly better. From what I know a ZZR would suit a taller rider more. I'm about 6 foot and I have no trouble on the CBR though, but I don't really care about comfort cause I'm constantly shifting my weight on the bike

And Johns more into german porn than me, oh woe is me :rolleyes:

You're about the same size as me, trust me and get a cruiser. If you plan on doin some long rides almost any sporty 250 will be too small to stay comfortable the whole time. Unless you're small enough then a 250 sportbike wont be good for anything other than commuting.

Yes and no, both bikes (zxr/cbgayrr) are stupid little homos, they are small and cramped even for a short prick like me, I had a ZZR and to be honest It felt the same, they arent big, the ZZR has a bigger seat height but, although touring for long distance is no reall problem, on both I went to auckland a couple of times I could get there and back no trouble on both without major pain, but in the morning it hurts. simple as that.

I reviewed the ZZR here (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=12313)
I would think that if you were larger your not going to be much better off on a ZZR or a crusier (the crusiers arent that much more comfortable) - I recon going and getting a motard or something - this might be a fun/better option.

HA! You finally admit both bikes are equal in performance! Took you a while. ZXR is still one up on looks though

I think I would come up top in a race cause I wouldn't be nearly as worried of wrecking it further. Tanks stuffed, crankcase sidecovers are stuffed, fairings are stuffed, only things in alright condition are the motor and frame now

No, I was humoring you.

I still think the ZXR would be better on the track with its torque, but for hells sake I will keep my ZXR until we can race - make sure you de-restrict yours because I get to $1.95 beyond rather quickly.

Unfair advantage. Go to Taupo instead. Allthough, the excessive amounts of torque your ZXR has over my CBR should give you advantage there as well

Manfeild short track is the most fun I've had, even more fun than burning a Mazda Familia up the Rimutakas (Spleen will know what I'm on about)

Whats the story with the clutch? Do you need new plates? I sold my spares I have a clutch basket if you need it but.

it slips when i give the engine heaps of throttle. Two possible causes, one is that the clutch still has car oil on it from when i was getting the engine running OR my clutch is on the way out. Was told its a takeout/put in job.

When i have the fairings off for painting im gonna take the clutch out and clean it. if that doesnt fix it i'm just gonna get an aftermarket replacement.

Btw john, how was urs derestricted? coz i checked the wiring diagram and it has a part labelled 'speed limiter'. Its shown as connecting to the ignitor on the same plug as the pick up coil with a pink wire. Other two wires out of it go to the oil pressure light and high beam light which i am assuming are earths...

Simple way I did it was, crack speedo open take out the restriction mechanism shove it in a box and connect it and shove a NZ new 400cc speedo on :D

and that made it faster? this restriction mechanism - is that the thing im talking about in the diagram? and did u put the new speedo in so that u could see up 2 240kmh or was that part of the process?

John
27th June 2005, 13:43
No it didnt make it faster - just allows it to continue up over 195.

The mechanisim the stops it just works by a simple switch type application, when the speedo hits 195 the switch flicks and it sends the signal to the CDI (which is the speed limiter in the diagram IIRC).

I havent had a look at a CBRR electronically, but I would imagine a few measurements of current and you would be sweet, ask your mechanic about it if your not keen to play with electrics.

at aparently they only weigh 141kgs but i saw on another site the 171 weight so i could be wrong if i am blame it on that site here what i came up with

Model: ZXR250A
Capacity: 249cc
Bore/Stroke: 48X34.5mm
Weight: 171kg
Tyre size: Rear: 140/60/18, Front: 110/70/17
Fuel tank.: 16+2Litres res

18th August 2005, 22:35
its claimed to be 170 but i actually find it quite light, until i've had to lift it.

we had a great fuel debate about how much you could actually get into it.

My biggest ever top up was 18.6L and i was running on fuel.

Best economy was a tad under 300km for 16L top up, but this was real nanna riding (under 6k at all times cept on motorway).

Okay... this is the #1337th post for me.... Should it be my last?

A model made from 1988?-1990 and C from 1991 (first model like mine had non painted frame but C fairings) to 1993. 1993 was power restricted but looked identical to 1992 model.
I'll just summerise up what I know about weights of the two models - 250A measured wet at 173kg (gareth_d's old bike) and mine on the same scales was 160.3kg wet which is the 250C. I find the A model has a better low end accelleration but looses out bigtime in top end to the C model.

A model does not have as many adjustment options for the suspension either.

And yes, C model has a ever so slight edge on cbrrrrrr's IMO.
