    Hi guys,
              sorry it's taken so long to say Hi, I've been a bit busy with work etc.

    Hi Phil, it's Doug who bought the grey Across. I think it is the perfect bike for me and I'm really happy I found it. It rides really well and the power comes on beautifully smooth. I do need to look at the chain, as it seems to have a fair bit of slack, but I have a .pdf manual for the gsx 250's and I should be able to have a look at it this weekend and then post up in the forum and ask you guys for advice about it.

    Definitely no complaints though, awesome bike.

    Hi to you too Chris (kiffsta), you have a really nice house by the way. Great set up too.

    Cheers,
    Doug.

    G'day everyone.
    My name name is Stefan and I'm an alcoholic, oh wrong forum, sorry.

    Try again, I'm 24, I own a CBR250RR and live on the wrongly labelled Sunshine Coast, QLD.

    I found a card for this site at my local Honda candy shop, thought I'd give it a go.

    For some reason my pictures come out orange although the bike is red, will invest in a new camera one day.....

    Here she is:

    As is now, decided it'd block a main jet so carbs are getting a clean[​IMG]

    Thanks for your time, hopefully the pics work out for me

    Hey Stefan
    Welcome to the forum. It is pleasing that some of the cards that I have been distributing around the coast are being seen and picked up. I note your reference to the wrongly named Sunshine Coast, has been that way. Thanks for the photos

    welcome Stefan, nice CBR, looks like you have a Tyga kit on the lower and rear fairings which IMO are smoking hot

    Thanks for the welcome fellas.

    Kiffsta, you are spot on with the tyga gear. It was a full tyga kit until I hit not one, but two cars. Few dollars given to a wrecker and this is the end result.

    Phil, finally getting some good weather lately, see how long it lasts. Should probably get the bike back together to enjoy it rather then bludging on forums. Whereabouts are you?

    Cheers Slender, I also prefer this combination (would probably help if the colors matched), although it's alot more scratched up and not very nice in person. Gets me to where I'm going though......until now

    Hi Chris and Phil.

    I'm, Andi, owner of the zxr250 website and forum.  Congrats on getting yourself the best 250 you could add to your garage, lol.

    Your site is nice and uncluttered and the forum is nice and bright as well.

    You guys did a good job setting up the umbrella site for all the 250 class models, so give yourselves a pat on the back.

    My past 250's have been:

    KX250
    DT250
    VT250
    GPZ250
    TS250X

    And currently have my wifes Bandit and Zxr tucked up in the garage.

    The zxr is currently having a full rebuild again, as i am currently recovering from a accident back in August 2009, and am bored.

    Ride Safe Guys

    Hye andi

    Welcome aboard mate, for those who dont know, Andi's website is www.zxr250.com and has been a wealth of info for me when researching if I should buy a ZXR50.

    thanks

    Hi all,
    I love the 250 screamers.  Been into bikes for ages and am probably as old as some members fathers or even grandfathers!  My ride (still owned) for the last 10 years is a 2001 Ducati 900SSie, but over the last couple of years or so got involved with 250s.

    These are the end results of two knackered bikes I "rescued", repaired and painted.  The CBR was mine (sold) and the ZXR is my daughter's bike.  On the ZXR the characters on the tank are Japanese/Kanji for Kawasaki and on the fairing are Kanji for four cylinder.

    Now working on a 1964 Lambretta as the latest project, starting from a basket case.

    Richard

    Hey Punch
    Welcome to the Forum, what can I say  Love your work.
    The rising sun is inspiring and would draw very little attention, I'm sure.

    Hey Andi
    Welcome to the Forum and many thanks for your kind words.
    As for Chris, can't get the smile off his dial and with good reason, our latest acquisition is a gem. Had the opportunity to ride it last week end and enjoyed the ride immensely. She needs a little fine tweaking and she'll be GREAT.
                                                    Cheers Phil

    Hey Jim

    If that's what you can do with a bike, hold the phone I'm heading down to try your cafe.
