Thats a ZX400 not a ZXR400


older bike than the ZXR400 possbley uses the ZX400D engine like the GPZ/GPX400 much slower than a ZXR400 and parts are hard to get.

I think its a GPZ but not anywhere near certain.

[steve09]

i found out its a bike call a zx4 apartly its the forerunner for the zxr, just rying to find out if i has the same eninge any one know??

[Jebus]

It is not going to be the same engine, the zxr is a brilliant bike that can really go nuts zx is proberly not going to be anywere near as good.

ar i see, now ive bid and am the highest bidder. is there a wy i can pull my bid or will i just have to hope someone else wins?? it was labeled a a zxr so i may just message im, would it be a good bike if i got it for £600 cheers

[ram_doom]

I have some scans of an old issue of performance bikes, reviewing the zx4 with other 400's. Save and enlarge to view the text, it uses the same motor as my zxr400 and its plenty fast

Withdraw your bid if you can mate and stretch your budget and get a ZXR400 L

[ram_doom]

For the price though, that zx400 is very clean, and they get good write ups

Looks clean but dated IMO. Each to there own but a ZXR looks so much better.

A mate had one in black a few years back and it was a pretty good bike.It's more of a sports tourer (a smaller version of the zx10)than a zxr but still good fun.

I think its a nice bike. Does look a bit dated compered to these modern 6's, but personally that wouldnt bother me. Old = cool

oh, and at £600 its a steal. I say stick with it. If you do get out bidded there will always be other bikes, or you could try and scrape together that extra bit of cash for a ZXR
