Congrats Mick, It looks mint!
If you treat it properly it will! Minesdon't got over 80k on it now, and I really fuss after it, with oil and filter every 10, a carb balance every 40,000klms and check the shims every 40k if you like to rev it! Other than that, I wreck a chain and sprockets between 25 and 35k depending on usage and tyres around 5-7 depending on what you run. I find 180's nicer on the rear but you may find the 190's more to your liking with the extreme lean angles you tend to carry.

Merry x-mas and congrats now all you need is a hoe hoe hoe

Gone to a barman in Sunbury. Marty, not actually looked to see what size rear is on ther now actually. As an aside it "supposedly" has a full Akra race system, having said that, the only identifying mark on the can is this sticker, anyone know anything about it? As another side the zzr only had 114k km so hardly clocked at all.

Very nice!!! Congrats!!

mick, the c models were 180 std as opposed to the e and f model that went to 190. i'd suggest you stay with the 180, makes it easier to turn.

from the original photo it looks like and early akra system, similar to mine. last time i check they wanted FTM (far too much) for a replacement sticker....that prolly why it has the other bodge job on it.

HTH

congrats ya big poof !! well done !
