 |

Well, the deal broke down with somone about the ZXR250 i have, and now i cant decide on what to do with it
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 or even bodging different ones to fit. And maybe a bigger engine
But would it be worth it

Ps. No idea if anyof that made sence  ____________________ || Past: 1991 Kawasaki ZXR 250 ~ 2003 Honda CBR 600 F Sport ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1999 Yamaha R1 ~ 1999 Kawasaki ZX6R J ~ 2004 Kawasaki ZX6R B1H 636 ~ 1998 Honda VTR1000F Firestorm ~ K1 GSXR 600 Track bike ~ K6 GSXR 1000 ~ 2006 Speed Triple 1050 || Current: 2005 R1 https://www.adrucore.co.uk |

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
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?

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. ____________________ Hard livin', hard luck. |
