I wouldn't buy a bike off someone who can't spell its name properly, but that's just me.

I paid 3k for a zrx1100, so no.

ZRX's are generally awesome though.

[DrDarkMatter]

thank you, I am going to keep looking for something like this, I really dig the bike, there is a kawa GPZ550 going for about the same price though that IS on the allowed LTNZ list.

And that one has good cause to be called a classic.

[DrDarkMatter]

lol ya, it sure is a classic., going to look at a Suzuki GSX250 2002 tomorrow, I really really like the looks and sounds of the Honda VFR NC24's but I cant find anything local at the moment.

Just as well, VFRs aren't LAMS approved If you wanted a Honda 400 sportsbike you'd need to get an RVF instead.

About the wife thing, have you not heard of the saying "sometimes it is easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission"

[Sable]

Go the GPz 550, great bikes for what they are.
