thats a good price and a zxr400 is a brilliant choice of bike, not just coz i have one but i think they are a good step up if u fancy summat bigger, only other option is sumthin small like the gixxer thou or suzu hayabusa Twisted Evil

Get it out of the way ASAP. No point going along to lessons, getting hooked, wanting to book your practical test and then finding you can't do it because you have to wait a few weeks to get the theory done first.

ZxRs are horrible, made of cheese, the cams are made of cadburys and the bolts are made of compressed rabbit poo.

anyway, you should expect to pay about £600 tpft in a bad area at 17 with no NCB.
so if its more than that, its a bad quote, you gotta ring round over 30 of these c*nts to get a good one.

Honda for ever.

Mine? Thanks!

They were like that when I got it, but whoever did it had a good idea. I think the previous owner was a bit of a tart cos there's quite a bit of carbonfibre bits and bobs on it, a good thing of course Thumbs Up
