Hey Guys AND GIRLS (EDIT: Im not sexist, im very tired, asked for a bit of friendly advice and you point a comment out like that, very sad to be honest...) Need a bit of advice, i got my module 2 in a months time on the 8th, fingers crossed i pass :).

Looking for a ZXR400 but was wondering what they would be like restricted if anyway has had expierence with them and also, would i be too tall for it as im 6 ft 3 and a 34 inside leg?

 

Thanks a lot guys :biggrin:

you wont fit, trust me

I ran one restricted and then full power for a year or so when i was 18. Absolutely loved it but believe me when i say that you wont fit on it. Im just a smidgen over 6ft and lanky and my knees and elbows were pressed against various parts of the fairing at all times.

That said, it sounded the nuts with a race pipe and really looked gorgeous.

The pillion seat was pretty comfy too according to my gf.

(if you do go for one make sure you look around for a British one, not an import - theres loads of them about. Think the British ones had an 'L' prefix and Imports an 'H'?? Might be wrong about that tho)

vlogging

I really don't get it. I think it's lame. If that kid wants to film a ride then fine, I'm sure most bikers can watch that? But who the heck wants to listen to his bullcrap?! Some people I guess, but not most!

zxr400

Id say the sv650 is more cramped than the 400's, the pegs on the 400's are pretty high true enough, but the reach is pretty long and you will get used to the cramped leg riding position.

 

Gonna get me a zxr400 for track days and maybe if i get ambitious some time, maybe some formula 400?

 

The zxr seems like alot of laughs to me for very little money, the vfr is probably the better bike, but its very hard to work on, and a half decent one will cost you a bomb because they have a cult following.
