    hey guys this is my 2006 gpx which is my first bike

    My friends zxr250a which we picked up from a guy in Gosford in total non running condition, it had been sitting for 10 years under a tree, nothing worked at all, had no keys all or any registration papers, it was covered in corrosion and there was a rats nest under the fuel tank. Everything required a total rebuild including removing the rust from the tank and fixing 9 pinholes in it, and many electrical issues .but it has now been registered for more than a month and is running well. And from closer inspecting the engine has been rebuild when it was imported in 2006

    And so after riding my mates bike for a while I've realised that i need a 19k revving 4 cylinder in my life aswell so i purchased these 2 bikes for $100 each both in non running condition from a guy in Manly IMG_20180325_220109_760.jpg
    crap photo but you get the idea, It's a 1990 zxr250a , funny enough it used to be blue originally then someone's painted it green and the finally black, i plan on repainting it back to its original colour and partially restoring it , luckily this one has keys and paperwork and shouldn't need too much work. It has been mucked around with though unfortunately by someone who didn't have much of an idea how to fix motorcycles .
    ad_1521086604737.jpg This is the other bike , a 1997 zxr250c , cosmetically its in very rough shape but the rest of it looks fairly decent, i wont keep this as i only wanted the A so i'll probably get it running as best as i can without spending too much money and reassemble it and try to sell it on .
