Whats the diff between 250R Hurricane and 250RR

[Coyote]

So whats the problem with the FZR 2KR??? I'm going to try and buy one today. Allthough I'm not sure if it's the 2KR, it's a '88 model and I think I've seen a '88 3LN at a dismantlers.

No idea - by the way i missed the damn train again - the Fizzer at Mt Eden Motorcycles has been sold.

they are the bottom of the barrel & have less power than a 3LN.
3LN has deltabox frame, EXUP exhaust, more powerful engine and is not restricted (well, mine and my mates one wasn't). wider use of light weight components and are electronically fuel pumped (2KR is gravity feed).
but overall the 2KR and 3LN are roughly the same price but when you got to sell a 2KR you will have to basically pay a dealership to take it off your hands.
i have personally owned one and loved it, just as fast as the ZXR250 but not as race oriented.
a mate had one for over 2 years and commuted every day (40km one way) on it with very little dramas.
they made them both of them from about 87 to about 94-95 (not sure), i had a 1990. there are heaps of different styles of fairings for em, like 10 or 15. ie red bull decals and smoking joe. tho only seen em on the net.

But what are the double tubey thingys on the tank that go to the instrumenty area for?

They are wannabe ram-air, and dont actually do anything apart from look wannabe (except maybe at very high speed), because the structure of the airbox is kinda weird under them IIRC from the 400...

Thanks, good info. I didn't buy the FZR 2KR in the end cause it had a handling problem. Above 80, it became twitchy. I wasn't the one riding it as I haven't got my licence yet, so my dad rode it. He was scared shitless at how hard to control it was, so decided not to buy it. Bugger.

its different with the 250 (on the CBR) as the boxy thingy's only go to the frame nothing else..... That reminds me, i have too steal my tubey thingy's from Milky to put back on my ZXR.....
