Well, the deal broke down with somone about the ZXR250 i have, and now i cant decide on what to do with it Confused

Its crash damaged and could need anythign from £200 worth of repairs to over £600! Not sure what state the engine is in, wasnt running its best when i came off it. All round fairings could do with repair/replacing/respraying.

So what do i do with it? input i think is needed.

I could sell it as it is. Maybe worth £400?? No idea.

Or do it up. Theres restoring it to its former gloory, but i dont think id find original fairings ANYWHERE! Or theres streetbikeing it Wink or even bodging different ones to fit. And maybe a bigger engine Cool

But would it be worth it Confused

Thumbs Up Groove

Ps. No idea if anyof that made sence Rolling Eyes

could try flogging it on ebay, as spares or repair, set the reserve at say £350 and see how it goes.

Have a proper look into getting the engine sorted - you never know, you may be pleasently surprised.

As for the fairings - GAFFA TAPE

What you need is some one from the forum or a mechcanic from your area to tell you what it needs doing to it to get it runing again.

Well, what is there to making a sports bike a street fighter?

I know/thing it would need:

New front fairing with lights
New bars
New tail/seat
Front fender
Working engine Laughing
Clean engine
Belly pan?
Full respray
Maybe a powdercoated colour frame

Just wondering what it would look like when complete. Anyone got any pics of a sportbike turned street fighter?

Thumbs Up

Am I right in assuming that you do not currently have a bike, whilst your zxr250 is sitting gathering dust? If I were you I would put the bike back on the road as cheaply as possible. Ditch the fairings or repair them with cable ties and gaffa tape. Any essentials that are too broken to be salvaged, replace with whatever you can get the cheapest off ebay. Clipon handlebars for instance do not have to be specific for your bike (Unless your fork stanchions and handlebar diameters are peculiar).

You do not need a respray, you do not need a belly pan, and you do not need to powdercoat your frame. What you need is a running motorcycle, not an expensive shiny tart-mobile to crash again in a few months time. Get the bike on the road asap and see how the engine runs. If it's still crap then consider whether it's worth spending money to sort it out, or just put up with it because it's better than taking the bus.
