It looks to me like a ZXR 'homie' edition. I'am sure it says 'ruff rider' on the rear right fairing, but of course that may just indicate the condition of the bike to the general public, I'd definatly get it checked out before I handed any money over...

ya should definitly go see it, take it for a ride ... maybe a compresion test as it is getting the km a bit high, mind you my one has 52 and its got great compression across the board

so tempting to look at buying another bike , the gn is so boring now, i remember saying id use it till my full, Hah, fat chance ~_~

I am really interested in this bike, does anyone know who the seller is? I've sent him an e-mail, but he never seems to reply. Anybody reckon it's hot or anything is funny about it?

First thing is that it has been resprayed. Which means a 99% chance of crash damage cover up and a 1% chance of cosmetic upgrades.

Ask him if he has reciepts for all the new stuff...... and when you look at the bike check to see if the things actually look new.

Good Luck

Yeah the bike looks in real good nick and for that price it seems pretty reasonable, If I was you id go for a test ride tho, Id never buy a bike from a private seller unless I had taken it for a spin but from apart from that, it looks pretty mint and I can tell you those ZXR's are excellent bikes to ride

[John]

I think it has an engine niggle.

I may be wrong but make sure you get a FULL check.

is the colour not an original colour? would you pay 3,000 for this bike? I am keen on the bike, but the guy doesn't reply making it really difficult to view.

Nope it isnt original and the indicators look different - might be a good buy but you really shouldnt hand ANY money over without riding and getting a mech test done on it.

Ok, the main issues that you should look out for are;

Cam Chain - Because Kawasakis mainly use chains to drive the cams they need to be regularly checked, the worse thing is the cam chains on the ZXR250's are SHIT to put it simply, and if not regulary adjusted then they can really cause some major damage so its always good to check for bulges in the head block as this shows that the cam chain hasnt being looked after and its wearing through the head !

And thats about it, they are pretty well put together bikes!

Here are some pictures of most of the different colors;
