    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    Cheers DoubleDs

    Also one thing before going considering bikes: How about taking similar models for a little trundle around the block?

    Test riding should be a big part of the buying process...

    Commuting on a 250 sportsbike is sweet.

    My bullshit detector goes red when looking at the ZXR. It's a nice looking ZXR for sure... However, if it's a '93 it shouldn't be putting out 45 hps at the crank (new restrictions in Japan for 93 - so they drop the IL4 250s down to ~39). Unless it has been derestricted it shouldn't have that output and certainly not be able to do 175 km/h in a headwind!
    If the bike had been derestricted it would be good to know when, where and how.

    That said I can warmly recommend ZXRs

    The CBR looks pretty good, it's a '92 model so it should have the 45 hps engine. Honda engines are pretty much bullet proof which is good.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)

    Mmmm, im still set on ZXR. Dad bought me a ninja when i was a kid, and barely let me ride it.. Im still in love with them.

    The VTR lacks lethalness, the gxr has too square cyclops a light..

    The new ninja isn't a 250 sportsbike... Ask skidMark about it

    2-strokes are much more temperamental. A bit more maintenance - and a lot more peaky in the way power is delivered.

    I'm sure they are a lot of fun - but I wouldn't consider them a learners bike.
