Hi All
Hi all,
My name is Andrew and i have just registered on the site. I just upgrade from a GPX250 to a 1995 ZX6R and loving the power difference. Bought it from a female which was owned by her from new. she has really looked after it as it is in immaculate condition. It has 26314ks on the clock and came with full service histroy and log book. Took it to Kelen Kawasaki for a thorough check over and was surprised that it was mechanically sound and everything else on the bike was in great working order. All they said that the front brake pads might need replacing in about 1000ks time or so. the only thing i did not like about it was the colour its green so i decided to get it resprayed and different colour and will be picking it up today. will post pics when i pick her up.
Well i hope to chat to alot of you on here.

Hiya and welcome!
Congratulations on the new bike, I had a '95 ZX6R as my first "big" bike - they are a lot of fun! But what's wrong with green, huh?

Re: Hi All
Looks like a very clean bike. I'm impressed. I also vote for black, but at least you went the "candy plasma blue" kawaski colour.
Looks like they did a decent job with the paint too. Was it a single stage job or a base coat / clear coat?
