Well this feels like a huuge step up from a rs125 to be honest, but here she is in all her glory

I think its time to get the washers out, riding it like a rs125 isnt doing good for my fuel economy
I didnt pay that bad a price for the state its in either, got one issue and thats shifting 1st to second it makes a loud knock, but im told alot of bigger bikes do this?
Cheers

Its more speed and pickup to get to 100 on the RS you had to work it all through the gears, 100 on the fzr is so effortless it scares me a tad, editing sig to suite that it now lol

Just came up in my price range, and insurance range,
looking back i wouldnt of bought this in hindsight as finding restrictors for it isnt best easy Laughing
The purple is growing on me, but i think i may get powder coated wheels and swingarm.

Could you not just get a throttle stop made up?

It looks dead smart as it is, I'd leave it- unless you want them powder coated in the original colours. It certainly gets attention in a sea of "race reps" anyway.

I fucking loves that I does.

Nice choice.

I had the earlier FZR when in Aus - great bike, very reliable, handled lovely.

I would have another, but I would prefer the 600R like you have - the foxeye headlights just look sweet, especially with the shell suit paintjob.

Enjoy...
