    Hi all, greetings from Japan.
    I am originally from Cairns. I ride a few different bikes but I have a Honda XR250 and a slightly modified ZXR250C track bike.

    Looking forward to being part of the forum.

    Pete.

    Thanks for the warm welcome.
    The ZXR is a lot of fun on short tracks, 1 to 2 km long. I also race the CBR250RR. The ZXR I feel is a better bike, suspension and frame wise. And the ZXR engine is faster on faster tracks, less slow corners and flat.
    The CBR has slightly better mid range so a little better on hilly, slow corner tracks. But saying that there isn't much difference.

    At work now, will post pics later tonight.

    Welcome. So will you be able to locate hard to find parts that only seem to turn up only in Japan?
