Now the proud owner of a Kawasaki

Dropped into Motorhaus on Wednesday to see if it would be worth spending any money on it or just bite the bullet and get another one which is what I really wanted him to say, Kerry didn't let me down.
A friend of Kerry's by the name of Kerry Jeffs (not Kerry of Motorhaus) imports bikes and just had a shipment come in.

He doesn't bring many Jappa bikes in but had 2 there which was within my price range. I fell in love with the ZZR400 and worked a fantastic deal, only had to borrow $500 on top on the money had put in the bank the previous day from the sale of my car.

Borrowed the Co. van, picked it up Wednesday arvo, put it back together at home that night, (they remove pipes and screens to prevent damage during transit) changed all fluids, dropped it off at Fasttrack certifiers in penrose Thursday morning, picked it up about 3pm.

Rode it home that night, turned 25kms into 200Kms trip home, little bit different from the impulse, nice to ride

Kerry knows what he is talking about with bikes, he know everything was stock so it would go straight through cert.

I would recomend anyone looking for another bike to checked him out first.

Thanks Kerry (both of you)

to Motorhaus.

Congrats mate.

Guys - Kerry imports pretty nice European bikes at pretty competitive prices.

Ever wanted a Ducati/Harley but thought it was not affordable??

Go talk to Kerry first.

Good step up Raster, hope you enjoy it immensly! I've never owned or ridden a 400 myself but I can imagine it's not too far behind a 6.

Now, let's see it!!

Photo in my profile, the scratches on the fairings(both sides) were done in Japan, thats what brought it into my price range but only cosmetic.

I might head down to Cambrige tomorrow if weather is not a pooring down and blowing a gale.

Anybody know where there is a workshop manual in stock for one of these?

Took the Kwaka down to Morrinsville where my mum lives, had lunch there and came back highway 22, fantastic.

Just a few dirt bikes around aye, never seen so many!

Onya. Now all you need is a 1 in front of the 4.
