Hi Guys! Been driving a car for nearly 30 years so I thought I'd get my bike license Had this bike for a while slowly restoring it. It's taken a LOT of effort to get it to this condition & she's still a work in progress. I use it for my daily when it's not raining. Rocking a 15T front sprock so commuting is nice & quiet (sitting at around 8000rpm@100k's). I'm an old bastard so it was only fitting I ride an old school bike. Here's my Kawa Zx2r 250cc 1988 model. Cheers
Welcome to the forum. Your ZXR look's good, i don't see too many of them out cruising in SA I'm also a learner @48yo, i should really book in for my Advanced course before the wet weather come's in i think.
Welcome to the forum. Lots of old farts here, and a few of us have ZXR250's too, so you should feel at home. In my opinion, the ZXR250A has the best engine of all the ZXR's.
Not only old bastards on here there's a few old bitches too lol. Welcome to the forum. Nice bike Hun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Cheers ! Thanks! They are becoming a rare sight around Melb as well ! Is that your Check ride ? (prob different in SA) Thanks! Thanks! Makes me feel a lot better Can't say that I've got a lot of experience with the engines, but from what I've seen so far it's a real ripper! No problems lugging my 93kg carcass along the freeway at 100k's & overtaking is a simple drop a gear or two & give it a squirt. I see a lot of people complaining about not enough power for freeway riding & overtaking with the 250cc engine, I find that hard to believe. Thanks man! Ha Ha, awesome to hear ! Cheers ! Thanks ! Thanks !
Nah we don't have a check ride here, once you do the RiderSafe course and pay Motor Reg Dept for your L's you are free to go and ride (Lams approved bike's, 100km/h speed limited) Next thing is the Advanced course to get your R-Date (Restricted P's) but seeing as i'm over 25 and hold a full car license (minimum 3 year's) i don't have to display P's After my R-Date (1 year) is up i can apply for an R (unrestriced) license
