Hunter Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Nice bike, I popped around on a 125 for quite a while. Then moved up to a 400. My bike, Kawasaki ZXR 400, rare blue L1 model. I miss it, recently sold on as im now going into road legal buggies I spent 6 months rebuilding, cleaning, and replacing parts to get it as good as it looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last bike was a GSX600F so it's quite a step down but after almost being killed 3 times in 1 day alone due to asswipes in cages i decided it was time to have something a little slower LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 LG, not sure that's the right way to go I found that on the slower bikes I had to work bloody hard to get out of the way of stuff because it was so slow. That said, if you ride defensively enough, you should be ok - just don't ride round Tower Hamlets or Newham in London Hunter, that's a lovely looking bike, what did you get for it? P.

Hunter Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 I only got around £1700 Should have been more. My next buy will hopefully be a 250cc-650cc Road legal buggy, but im still looking into them. Not much choice.. LG, its good you didnt give up like I did. I was nocked off at fairly low speed from my 125, dislocated shoulder, very nearly broken leg. Lots of bruises even through the leathers.. ouch. I called it quits after that, I knew how much it could hurt even if you are under 30mph. My brother came home with a new Honda Hornet today, I felt a little home sick for my bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Lost 2 bikes in accidents already First was on the A19 near sunderland when some twonk clipped my handle bars with his mini bus. Yes he was THAT close Knocked me into the kerb i lost control the bike ended up on the grass verge after skidding down the road holeing the tank and chewing up the fairings. I ended up with my feet in the air between the crash barriers Hurt like hell but i was a typical biker and was MORE interested in my Bike The Second was JUST after comming away from the Docs i came to a roundabout off a 30MPH onto a 40 stretch so banked right about 45 deg and wound her on to straighten out and some dolly dimple pulled straight out in her People carrier Of course i had to brake extremely hard and was highsided :o That second in the air felt like a minuet and down i came "CRASH" Winded - dazed - angry and i thought i had broke my wrist. I felt like i was gonna hurl and when i sat up to take my helmet off all i could here was "OMG don't take off your helmet" Of course the age old excuse came from dolly dimple (i didn't see you on your RED bike with your main beams on even though you were wearing a bright read bike jacket and the sun was shining I am a bike nut through and through and will NEVER give them up i am affraid This little beauty only cost £399 and £75 delivery :o Will keep me busy for the next season till i get bored and get another sports bike LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Ouch sounds like some painful incidents. Good luck with your new toy!! As for the above post, I have raced a Honda CR250r on a private MX track and it packed up the most often. Needed parts and rebuilds too often. Better once I stuck to Yamaha 4 stroke bikes Japanese build quality is supirior to the Chinese recycled newspaper junk. Even cheap Japanese bikes will last a good while. But again its down to how you use it and treat it. keep the engine oil clean, sprockets and chain lubbed at their wont be much of a problem. Cant go worng with a 4 stroke single. The SR125 I rode was on 63,000 miles when it finally died shortly after my crash. Japanses built, it was left outside for 6 years by the previous owner. New oil, new battery, tyres re-inflated, carb cleaned, and it fired up right away This is me on a little 125 Yamaha I bought to get started before any of the other bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young airgunner Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 as far as i have experienced, honda's are reliable. ive also got an old honda xl250 which i started learning to ride on and i crashed that into a stream full of water, had to get my m8's dad's tractor to pull it out and it started first kick. thats a 20 yrd old bike too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Christ... reminds me when we got the CR stuck in a heavy bog on the forest area of the track. Im not jocking, it took two people, 3 large logs, and one hour to get it out wont be trying to get accross that again, even with full knobblies for dirt.
