Whats wrong with ZX4Rs?

[Itchy]

Compared to '30s and '29s ? , there seem to be tons of ZX4Rs low mileage around at low prices compared to the scarcity on the ground of 29s and '30s.

other than Maurice's motocapers saying the ZX has a top end biased engine , +USD forks I'm not sure , anybody care to shed any light? (as said the want of a '30 is fast fading and something else may fill its place!).

Any thoughts?

Eat Camchains and head gaskets.

I want one. Instead of my sv.

I prefer the look of the ZXR400 to the NC29, the NC30 is beautiful though...

ZXR is the bike 80% of 400cc racers seen to use at Bemsee (good for spares as well). They are generally a bit more fragile than the Hondas, but also make more power and definitely are more easily tuneable.

Hmm I suppose the '30s don't have the cam chain problem due to cam gears , is the cam chain/ head gasket difficult to change? (the hardest thing maintenance wise is change me fork bushes and fork seals which was a devil of a job).

or cost for a mechanic to do? and when we say eat what do we mean by eat? , '30s due to the lack of cush drive are reputed to eat chains and sprockets yet Maurice can get 25K out of C&S.

EDIT

as said there are tons of ZXs near me within 30 miles , much fewer '30s and my working patterns (9-5 mon-Fri Thurs-Sun 6pm-11pm) leave very little time to go far to look for bikes,

Err I've never had 25k out of C+S, more like 10-15. Like you said nc30's eat them.

zx 4`s are nice looking bikes and do have a good top end for a 400 but here is mine. cbr 400rr nc23 stock colours a better bike imo and im not being biased either....much lol
