My new toy!!

Postby i_cruise » Wed Aug 05, 2009 7:41 pm

Picked this bad boy up for a bargain price last week. She lived in Bathurst so i flew up there and rode it back home to Melbourne. It's a 93' L1 and is immaculate for its age. I was in the market for a cheap bike to tour on, and was looking around for early fireblades until i saw one of these parked at a broadford track day. It had to be a ZXR after that, i was so impressed with the looks. I have sinced discovered that theyre not the most comfortable bike to tour on but i don't care! It corners like it's on rails and feels much more powerful than the Z750 i used to own. With the full Yoshi 4 into 1 system, K&N air filter and a jet kit to suit, it also has a much angrier exhaust note. what a bike!!

hmmmmm I don't think he is referring so much to the grammer as your poor bike may have an identity crisi in relation to if it's a he, she or an it :lol: :lol:

Beautiful ride though, very sexy looking indeedi and very immaculately kept well done mate, very well done indeedi. :kuda: :kuda: :kuda:
