    Another thing i noticed, it has radial front brakes, lol, yeah right.

    What are radial front brakes?

    Or do you just mean twin front discs?

    Radial front brake design utilizes mounting points at both the top and bottom of the caliper, with the mounting bolts inserted through the rear of the caliper instead of the side or front as on conventional designs. This setup makes the caliper more rigid to improve brake feel over a wider range of operation.

    Kwaka put twin pipes on the ZZR250 didn't they? so it wouldn't be the first time for them.

    Just thought about it and, seeing as 250's are a decent sized market, why arn't manufacturers reproducing/improving the 250's and 400's for that matter (except honda's viffer400)?? Cause in japan thier first licence is allowed up to a 400 so why arn't newer IMPROVED models coming out?? Sur a zx10r is the same size as my zxr400 but i would certainly kill myself on the 10 just doesn't make sense????

    Yes, on a trip from London to Le Mans a friend of mine sat at 100mph the whole way, with luggage. The bike seemed to handle it quite well.

    Not blinding performance, but capable for an inline twin cylinder 250.

    We had the same thing when we all cruised past a couple on an older GSXR11 doing the ton. He caught up at the Ferry terminal at Calais and was quite surprised.
