FZR vs CBR need advice

[Rob Taylor]

The FZR could have done 100000km in Japan.Speedo only goes up to that then starts again,Does it not?So look very carefully at its condition.If your not sure get it checked by a bike shop.The honda is bloody high in the ks .I would get the FZR checked out & give the Honda a miss.There are always others....

You would be able to tell VERY quickly if it has done 10,000 or 100,000km.

hey just an update. Had a look at the cbr today and it seems to be in pretty mint condition. Will be having a look at the fzr tomorrow hopefully

Hey I rode the Yamaha today. Didn't like it. It has obviously been sitting for long time gathering rust etc, genuine kms I reckon in it's defence. Might just have to go for the cbr.

Thanks for the input everyone, much appreciated.

I'd still seriously go for the fzr. 90,000km, you will be bound to have to throw money at it regularly. Why dont you get the FZR and get it cleaned up? Wont cost much.

They dont drop valves. FZR400's are known for wearing out there inlet valves after say 50,000km if they have not regularly had there clearances checked.

they dont drift as hard as the cbrs

But they both "drift" harder than VFR's Bwahahahah.

Oh yeah...FZR400. 8 replacement inlet valves + collets from Germany + 1 gasket set = very skint 19 year old student...these were the days.
