    Apparently yes, I was surprised considering they are a twin and not a four.

    Thats a nice bike then. Great leaner rocket.

    I hate having no real money and no prospect of having any. I would grab that in a second.

    ok I have contacted both owners. The Hyosung owner sent me a vehicle check of the bike and it looks legit. Whereas I asked the owner of the ZZR if he had a service history and he said he hadn't had it long enough? and he did the oil and filter at home.

    After the comments I am leaning towards the ZZR. I have contacted an "Me" member hopefully I will have some help and one of those two bikes are up to standard and will be in my possession soon!

    Pretty sure its $3,
    you type in the plate of the bike,
    then search for it and somewhere it says buy full report, I think its at the bottom of the page shows the km's if its wanted, if its accurate speedo, if it has finance owing etc

    Whatever you do, get some-one bike savvy to look/test ride it.
    The ZZR is a good bike, I am also biased being a ZZR owner

    how old are you?
    experience with 2 wheels?


    the zzr 250 seems beautiful.
    only i find hard to believe that bike has 16k km in 20 years...
    much more probable is 116.000 but the odometer has not sufficient digit.
    find it out for sure before signin the check...

    Well,
    My insurance company is going to pay for me to hire a bike for 7 days, and the shop has given me a brand new Scorpio 225 to play with, I pick it up tomorrow,
    If you wait a few days ill let you know what its like, was pretty comfy to sit on.

    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-401728381.htm this might be something of interest, great wee bike,
    This is one of the slightly older ZXR's http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-403855224.htm
    and http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-404003975.htm
    Try go to your bike local bike shops and ask if you can sit on some of the bikes, to get a feel for what you might like, gives you an idea at least. alot of those early 90's late 80's bikes are all the same, same specs, slighty different looks, and different factory's.
    Hope you find this helpful :]
    shhhhh just be quite aye shh

    I have re-framed from ignoring you,
    But I have taken a serious note to the final warning you and I were both given,
    Id suggest doing the same.

    Other than that I believe I gave some him some good ideas of things to look at,
    Feel free to add to it.
