New bike woot (ZX2R)

[Rych]

Hey all, finally got around to getting my first bike! Was trying to decided between new / old and finally found a nice Kawasaki ZXR.

Awesome sunny weather for my first ride today from Auckland city (Red Baron) to the Hibiscus Coast (home). Bike goes hard and handles very nicely. Got myself a decent jacket, gloves and helmet. Will get pants and boots sometime soon.

So much fun! Some pics I took today after a ride.

Hey nice bike! I was looking at getting one of the older ZXR250 myself and watched the prices go up and up. So i spent an extra 500-1000 on the bike and got a brand new one, nothing like that brand new feeling!!

Iv only had mine for a week so i know how you feel about riding for the first time, so exhilirating!! Have fun out there this summer, i know i will be.

There are plenty of guys here that have got 250s so if you ever want to go out for a ride with someone send me a PM, always keen to go out. Will be getting out on some more rides soon. If you can or are keen, there is a 250 ride up through Northland on this Saturday, might be an idea?? I would go but i have to work

Oh I would be keen to go on that ride but I also got work..

Went for a ride a short distance up north to Snells Beach today to meet up with another fellow Ninja rider and went for a bit of a spin. The current weather is awesome riding conditions!

Awesome bike! I saw this at Red Baron the other day. I've also got a ZXR250C, check it out, PM me if you're keen to meet up for a quick spin!

ZX2R...

[breakaway]

Please don't tell me you paid $8000 for it?

ZX2R...

That model can also be called that.

Paid $6,495. Free on road, 3000k warranty and $300 worth of free gear. The bikes done 20,000kms. I considered the extra 1k for the new Ninja, but I wanted the performance package that comes with the inline 4 model over the new toned down version.

And for the age of this its in pretty mint condition.

Re ninja 250: Its not really toned down, not near the same bike, its just a parallel twin (gpx250) named "Ninja 250" with better bodywork. How fast does it go, rych?

[PHATVW]

Hey Rych, I saw you today heading north on the motorway near Wairau Park just after lunch time, the bike looks good! I was the black ZXR250C heading south

Nice bike, congrats.

Even considering its in excellent condition and looks the shiz its still a hugely inflated price for a bike thats 18years old.... a good deal from the dealer with the free gear though
