Ahh yeah it does go like balls

Faster than CBR250's I rode it with.

I crashed that into the side of a cage almost 2 years ago to pay for my upgrade. Got more from "market value" insurance than I paid for it. Helped that I'd bargained Red Baron down heaps (to a fair price) when I paid for it then they told the insurance company it was worth their normal asking price

If you want the keys I've probably still got them somewhere. Also would like the puncture repair kit from under the seat if it's still there. AMI said it wasn't there but I think they never looked or someone pinched it as the seat didn't come off in the crash.

Those Avons (assuming they haven't been changed) stick like shit too and last forever - they have ~5000km on them believe it or not.. Had it's cam chain tensioner rebuilt about 2 months before the crash too.

Hope you're gonna get a new swingarm for it. Everything else was cosmetic from memory.

Wanna PM me how much you managed to get it for for a laugh? Mind if I come take it for a spin for old times sake some time?

HAHA!!! ahhh it came with a key for the tank and the ignition, but i dont have one for popping the seat, yep swingarm is phucked so sorting that and the other cosmetics ive had fixed, and yeah i was looking at those tyres they are like new with big chicken strips was actually wondering how the feck the old owner had come to grief on her...

Yeah i noticed the cam chain wasn't rattly etc, and ahhh nope no puncture kit under the seat, maybe the wrecker i bought it off ran away with it.

Yeah I pretty much commuted on her bar the odd weekend ride so the strips would build up. Should be a second line almost at the edge of the tyre tho

The crash was about 30km/h in the wet. Long writeup of it somewhere on KB if you're interested.

I reckon that's the story. Worth $80 or something so I was pretty pissed when they said it had disappeared and I couldn't claim it.

Didn't touch the zxr apart from taking the battery and some fuel from it which i was told to do as they needed fuel and a battery for the rat bike...
