Re: Is this site officially dead.....

I still log in now and then. This site proved very helpful when I was re-commissioning an old ZX9R last year.

1995 ZX9R. Love these bikes.

G'day,
I've always been partial to the 'B' model 9's and was able to bring this one home recently. I stupidly sold a tidy ZXR750L 10 years ago to buy a house and be responsible, and it always bugged me. Loved that bike.

This one has a similar character to the ZXR with it's bulky size, analougue ...

'B' model ZX-9R's

I have the opportunity to pick one up cheaply soon. Although i'm aware they're heavier and inferior in most ways to the later models, I think looks wise theyre the pick of the bunch and I dont ride my bikes hard enough to worry about a few less HP and a few more kegs. Is there anything fundamentally ...

Re: ZXR750 H's must be getting rare

No more than 30 minutes after I posted this yesterday, I found one advertised in 'just bikes' magazine for $3800. It looks tidy enough but that's a bit too much coin

ZXR750 H's must be getting rare

Has anyone else noticed that they never come up for sale anymore??? I've been riding around for the last couple of years on a clean original L1 model but I've always had a thing for the Look, Sound, racing cred and the raw nature of the H. Anyway I now have access to a workshop so the hunt is on for ...

Caliper interchangeability

This topic has been covered a million times i'm sure but i cant seem to find any threads on it, but I'd like to fit 6 pot calipers from a ZX-7R in lieu of the 4 pots on my 93' L1 ZXR750. Are they a straight swap? do they have the same bolt spacing???

My new toy!!

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 ...
