Kawazaki ZZR250 / Getting started.

Yeah that ZZR is a tidy example. Since it has low k's I guess it a good price dealer wise. Sure you could find a better deal privately and a lot cheaper, but that takes time.

Me, I want it NOW!

haha - fair enough, I have read that used buyer guide thing - and will give it a good once over, I just hope it hasnt being wound back - which would make me cry, but yes - seems to be my final choice - keen for a ride if your around near christmas? would be buzzy :P

Well if this is still the ZZR at Shaws then she'll be right. They are one of the good shops in town.

Might be keen for a cruise around the place. Let me know when you get it anyway.

Hi all, sorry have not being around much to much work in crap to do

Well I finally was able to do my basic handling test on Saturday (he was doing truck tests previous weekends) sat that, it felt strange being on a bike or a vehicle for that matter (havn't rode a bike for a long time) but managed it fine, then monday went and did my theory (wow 1 1/2 mins later passed) and then went for a cruse on the ZZR, wow - apart from traffic lights, old ladies in berlinas - and being cut off by 3 cops its was the most fun I had since the discovery of the submarine in the bathtub (lol).

Was great did about 5 hours riding yesterday, tried some wheelie action down the polytec road (its empty 99% of the time, so I thought it would be safe) I got the wheel about 30cm off the ground then hit the red and needed to change gear, oh well next time .

Well I tell you what the ZZR is the cleanest bike I have rode, apart from the tight clutch and stickyness, I even got my knee down on a round about then got such a fright I slowed down alot..

But then I noticed a flash in my visor on the side, maybe a camera I didnt think much of it until 3k up the road when I realised and got upset and started cursing, went back looking for it but I took a wrong turn, now what I was wondering is how can a bike be flashed since the bike has the plate on the back, can only vans with the dude inside get you (when they run out of the van and get your licence? or can any camera get you?) it was around Kamo North.

Anyway - bike have given me new reason to live wooo come on GSX1000R..
