You are looking at the wrong facts, that FZR400RR is 160kg dry ( single head light, ) the FZR400R ( your one with the double headlight but isnt indented ) is 165kg dry, and mine is, the FZR400 ( indented double headlights ) is 166kg dry.

Our bikes are nearly exactly the same. Yours has a slightly shorter stroke, and slightly more torque =S for some reason, beats me. I thought shorter stroke ment more torque?

Lets put it this way, they are so simular they have the exact same manual.

Although the one you got was said to be a 1992 it is actually a 1989. Fooled!

Whoopdyfuckingdo. Oooool it's 5kg lighter! Eat some pies and what? oh you weigh 5kg more so it doesn't matter. Makes no difference cos you don't weigh exactly the same and don't have the exact same gear. imo. lol

A mate just bought a FZR400RR (says RR on it somewhere so its faster) and we rode back from taupo after he picked it up. Had a ride of it and after being on the hyobag for my entire bike owning lifetime, it felt like I was an oversized spider monkey on a pocket bike. Shit that thing is fun though. I wouldn't have a licence after one day according to my calculations if I owned one. He's going to be at the pub tonight so you guys can all compare your FZRs if you have them there. fun!

Tom hasnt even picked his one up yet, and its engine is rooted ( will be a few weeks ) and well, i dont want another $400 fine ( im at $800 and counting, i can get let off $400 when i get my exemption ) so i tink im going to wait until i get my exemption to ride mine =P The LTSA called to tell me that i was accepted with my new exemption, just gotta wait for the piece of paper in the mail!

[EroSamnin]

fun! your "I'm to tall to ride a 250 so have to ride a 400 thats actually smaller than sams 250!" exemption. Hahaha. See you tonight.

They better have the kitchen going cos I want a steak or a burger cos I predict that I'm going to be hungry.
