If you reckon that's hot you should see her now! She's for sale as well by the way. FOR SALE THREAD HERE
koma, that thing is bloody awesome... Hope you find an appreciative buyer soon otherwise I may be tempted to do something the SO will never forgive me for... I'm a bit hesitant to post another pic of mine now, fug it here goes <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
Feverpitch, thats a little beut mate, but then I may be biased here is a pic of my missus' lil fizzer
Akey and Feverpitched; i really do have a soft spot for that colour scheme. Just looks like that was the colour FZR250's were meant to come in! Well to be honest i haven't really been trying all that hard to sell it; i'm still quite attached to it. I've also been riding her as my main bike whilst the GSXR is in the shops getting a bit of work done to it. I really forgot how awesome a bike it is! I think i'll be doing a few more mods whilst i wait for it to sell; like re-sculpting the seat and relaxing the suspension a little bit. I must've been a nutter riding it as twitchy as i've got it set at the moment!
koma: I saw you hoon by on Johnston(?) st near Lygon the other night (I was in the Shell getting petrol). Unmistakably you, it's a really distinct looking bike. It looks great, next time i'll wave you down for a closer look.
Haha, yeah that would've been me. I was in the area last night (Tuesday) helping out a friend in need. When you say hooning... it was probably just the exhaust note as i'm generally fairly placid whilst im in town. <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt=":wink:" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: --> <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_roll.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling LoL" /><!-- s:roll: --> Please do wave me down as it's great to meet people off the forums as well! Chances are i'll be back on the Gixxer next week but i'll always have 'KOMA' on my GSXR's windscreen.
thought id put up a pic or two picked up a fzr250 about two months ago for cheap, had been dropped and also spun a big end. just been taking my time fixing her up, 2nd hand motor and fixed a few issues, new pads chain sprockets exup overhaul cleaned the carbies just need to adjust the floats properly. has been a good learning curve bit different from my automotive 9-5 clockwork have put 75kms on the clock and im hooked <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> Before: Current:
The old girl was a bit rough after the previous owners had chucked her down the road and only done a bit of plastic weld as a repair. So I got some lucky strike decals from <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bikehps.com">www.bikehps.com</a><!-- w --> and got a friend of a friend to do some painting. I've got some EXUP decals winging there way to NZ for the back end cos its a bit bland atm. The pillion seat got covered in steel and painted and the pillion pegs have come off (since the last photo) and a piece of bent steel suffices as an exhaust bracket. Before: and after:
Yeah, I'm thinking about going with black wheels with a red strip around them. I'm going from a picutre of the YZF750 that Magee and Rainey won the Suzuka 8 hour on in 1990 (?). Anyway, the wheels can wait until winter so I dont miss out on anymore riding time <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->
I brought this baby for $500, badly in need of sum TLC, sat under a tree for a year, the guy who previously owed her said it had a fuel float problem, which ended up being a removed exup vane...hours of pain later My special thanks to you guys, the team of FZR250.com past and present in which without your help I would hav given up months ago...
