Cheers Darren...
No...... I did'nt....
In all honesty the Gixer
only had 700miles when i sold
it.....
Its the fact that it depreciated faster than it
was fast............

And besides its a new bike..
Don't get me wrong i lov um...
But...
This was only £2495..
and is worth that all day every day..
and £3k next year and so...in its condition

So.....its Money the Bank
A proper Bike..
and smiles all round/...

And corky of course I'll ride it...

" sat on it today" there ridden already...

LOL...

Bloody luvly =P~ does make you wonder about modern bikes though, I was thinking along the same lines, sell my zx12r & buy a couple of classics & hopefully watch them increase in value! but then again perhaps the zx12 will go up in value "eventually" what do you think?

the green answer to the rc30/45. i love all homologation specials, esp the zxr. that is mint and looks very '' kawasaki france endurance'' that hizzy,foggy and terry rymer had ridden with the polished frame. who says polished frames are so 1990's? yes they are but they still look the bollox. i think the 90's was the best era for bikes, esp for wsb/bsb and production superbikes that could be bought at the local motorcycle dealer. we had the zxrr, owo1 (well late 80-early 90's) rc30/45, gsxrr, blade, rgv,kr1s, nsr and 3xv tzr the latter 2 depending on how rich you were/if you favoured stunning style in return for been 10hp down on the rgv/kr1s!! unless you were richer still!

it still is a great bike after 15 years, and this one is in superb condition =D>

edit : I hat posted it wasn't a ZXR750R 'cause it doesn't have a adjustable swing arm pivot, but after some research on the net, found out the first one doesn't have it, only the second R-series has that
My ultimate goal is to die young as late as possible !

Kwakerman.,,,No1 Zx12R..Fassssssssssttttt..

You keep that beastie..they are collectable..
simple reason the volume...of production..
iam sure that ..that Bike was the Pinnacle
of the Euro crats and Japs ..
Whom legislated that no one will build a
bike over 186mph.....

186mph.......Lol..... :roll:

i love um...

the zxr was a compromise
with dear wifey...
whom...judges bikes on CC...
doesnt matter what or how you explain
Hp in CC .... a 1000 in any form is
a death trap.....blah blah,,
so 900 rr blades no..

So i settled on this...
I had a new J1 in 91 when they first came out.
it was slow.....they restricted them to 100hp

Besides this is a perfect example as everyone
has said..of the 90s superbike...


Yum Yum...." keep ya mota runnin"...head out
of the garage" not bloody likely...migh get um
dirty"

Tarra..
