    ZXR400H 1989

    Having just traded one in after 46k I would say.
    This little lightweight is worth considering they at Fun,Light,powerfull and reliable. the weak points are.
    Rusty down pipes,voltage regulator/recifier, and speeding tickets.
    unrestricted they can dyno to 65ps and even restricted to 56ps
    Your never to old for a sportsbike

    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    I have owned 2 X 1989 ZXR 400H models and 1 X 1989 ZXR 400SP. Great bikes, I can't think of anything better in its class from that era!

    So my light saber was passed down to me by the greatest jedi of them all (Johann)??

    Anyway, when I got her, she was a perfect road bike. Every thing stock standard except for the Nassert after market exhaust pipe. It used to go really hard. I overtook my mate's 89 ZXR400H model in a straight like as if his bike was a 250. I maintained it well by chaining the oil with synthetic blend (that I now use on the 600) in every 2 months. I only rode her properly for less than a year I think...

    Then that fuckwith Laury or wat ever his name is butcherd the carbs and she never was the same again...

    Yep I have a ZXR400L (with USD forks) and I will say, great front suspension but rear is too hard and skips over the bumps!
