    For a start you are comparing a two cylinder to a four...a tourer to a sports...my advice take both for a test ride.

    its really a choice of taste. which one do you prefer the looks of? also jump on them and find which is more comfortable for you (i find the zzr more comfortable)
    How much are you going to spend on a 94? cos those GSX250 are really nice, and they are only $6000 NEW!!!!!

    ridden both. The zzr handels like a sport tourer would its heavy and really really slow compared to the zxr. The zxr on the other hand wants to be ridden, handels like a dream and is a way better bike on the whole. But i only rode a zzr once and the zxr for over a year. But still the zxr is the way better of the 2 performance wise. Comfort wise i suppose the zzr would be better.

    And the ones she got were sort of rotten and insane...

    Only ridden the ZZR, but really easy bike to ride.
    Agree with previous comment, take both for a ride as they seem like quite different rides and would depend on what you want.

    zzr250 was a good bike i had one for 4 years and done 40,000+ kms on it i taught 2 people to ride on it, top speed i once saw 180+ on it, its an parell twin so its no match for top speed of a zxr250(190-200km/h).

    But due to zxr being high reving, it has nothing down low which the zzr as plenty of pulling power, and other thing if you look at carrying pillions zzr250 is a great bike zxr250 is not, me and my wife two up did 700kms in one day on the zzr250(okay we stop positions but still it handles two up easy) Wife and a friend of hers blew past harleys at 150+ they though it was a 600, and got bummed when told it was a 250, thats the other good thing it looks like a big bike,

    Due to twin engine, cheaper servicings, etc compared to an in line 4, just as make sure if you get a zzr250 service them every 5000-6000kms even if its just server/filter, makes it alot better, i never had a problem in mine, in whole time i had it.

    Like aff-man says.......

    If you want to race around get the ZXR.

    If you want to cruise around get the ZZR.

    I guess you can get used to anything if you want to. But the ZZR is way more comfy. The ZXR though is smaller in appearance and wayy cooler to look at and ride.

    Think about what you want. Looks or comfort...... by the way I think the ZZR looks great - especially in black. Especially since I own one

    Speed wise yip but then i wasn't ringing it's guts out. As for handeling well for the past year and a half all i've ridden are sportsbikes so i am used to putting the sholder into the turns etc. But i know a couple people on zzr's who have no trouble keeping up
