ZXR 250

Okay this is my machine of choice.

Not a bad choice there.
That was my first choice when I was getting my licence.
But a later model.
There surely do rock and great resale value.
How often do you do your servicing?

**zxr** · 1st November 2002, 14:25

Servicing seems to be every 6 months, or depending on my budget at the time.
But yeah, your right, great little starter bike. Even round the track, shes does well.

The 636 is an awesome machine ... even though I've never been on one . I'll find a pic and post it later.

Well I can't find the picture I'm after on the site (a VERY nicely styled ZX7R (maybe RR) in silver black and white) but this website has pretty much all the bikes you could want listed by year, manufacturer... the works.
has some movies with great crashes as well.
Excellent site.

If Mum will get it for me fro Christmas if I ask nicely? :P

I have riden the 636 a couple of months ago.
Great bike.
The major changes I noticed was the suspension.
Which was sooo needed.
Only thing I don't like now with is the indicators.
Not as good as my G1.
Any of you guys or gals seen the new GP model for next year?
Looks out of this world.
I hope they do well.

Any of you guys or gals seen the new GP model for next year?

It looks great ... but I cant see them being on the pace mate...

and remember, just cause it's a 250, doesn't mean you can't kick arse on a race track (you just got to know your bike better than the bloke in front of you!)

**Coldkiwi** · 23rd January 2003, 16:25

and speaking of specs, anyone know a 1/4 mile or 0-100 time for an '89 zxr 250? I'm about to trade up to a '97 ZX-6R and I've got some info on that which makes me interested in the relative difference of what I'm used to.
