Tired of my ZXR, bought a new one.

[Flemming]

Hi guys!

Sorry to say but I've come to the point where I'm letting my ZXR750/900 rest for a while.
I took it to the track last week and rode it to its absolute limit and that's when I decided to let it be. I've put thousand of euros in it but it doesn't run like I want it too and I'm sick of it now.
I've been riding these ZXR's for 15 years now. I still have my ZXR400R which I enjoy. My girlfriend rides it too.


So I just came home with this one:




It was a choice between this, the regular R1 or the ZX-10R.
I rode it now for 300km like crazy and it's in my garage for an oil change. At 500/600km it's up for one more oil change and then 1000km first service. After that it's ok to ride it regular again.

I can tell you that this is by far the greatest motorcycle that I've ever ridden. The way it handles is second to none and with 200 horsepower I will probably never master it to the limit.

I will never sell my ZXR-R but it just feels way too old now.
I'll try to post a picture of what I did with my first ZXR750.

I found one.
This is my first heavy motorcycle that I bought when I was 20 years old back in 2001. It is in absolute mint condition. Everything is still there from 1992. 100% original with toolkit and everything.
One day when I get some extra money over I will put it in working condition. Right now it needs to clean the carburators and change all the fluids. It hasn't been started in 7 years now.

But still...the ZXR looks way better

the new R1 is to small for normal grown european humans.
together at work we talked about it, an we know two racer who exchanged it for the new
bmw, because of the size.

Agree!

I was at a track day yesterday and in the end I was dead tired.

So I crashed my new R1M.

Yes, I really hate myself right now. 1150km on the ODO.

It is fixable, but it will cost around 2.500-3.000€. The engine runs.

Maybe it's a sign that I should get it down to LKM and let them make it better for me

Anyway, I'm drinking like a fucktard and being suicidal. Sure, it's just a bike - but I loved it all 4 weeks I had it.

Uhhh,

that`s fucking hard to crash after owning it only a few weeks
"only" 3 to 4 K is okay in comparrison to the costs of the whole bike but it` s still a big amount of money...

[der den Berg erklomm]

ooh thats sucks... but ist seems you are ok and this ist the central issue.
its just money you have lost

[Windy-ZXR]

So I crashed my new R1M.

well, seems like the wait is now over, innit?

You mean you feel old while riding it

There, fixed it for ya

Maybe it's a sign [..]

oh, you think?

I hope my post was not one bit helpful.
If it was, I failed miserably.
