fzr400 genesis

[Rufus]

any good? i'm going to be travelling on the motorway a bit and the pooperdream cant handle it so what are the fzrs like on them? one came up pretty cheap (<500) so would it be worth buying? what are they like for reliability?

By all accounts, they are very nice to ride, very good in terms of handling.

I know the FZR1000 is very reliable but sometimes looses second gear. Not sure how comparable the engines are. I'd check it gets all the gears in any case.

Which one is it, people think this covers one model when infact it can cover many, is it the 1st fzr without the hoover tubes? Let me know.

Gear box is the weakpoint but the rest of the bike is great, if yours is the 2nd model like mine blue spot brakes fit straight on for upgraded brakes and theres plenty of mods.

Flat power delivery, stiff chassis, poverty spec suspension, sometimes eat their own small end bearings which can cause conrods to snap, sending engine to the morgue.

What Blue said, but with all that aside my 88 model was great and the best bike i've owned so far, though i havent owned many.
