Just joined to ask questions about a Honda, but thought I'd reminisce with y'all and post up some pictures of my first ever bike: the ZXR400H (1990).

Original:


Re-spray after an incident with a kerb:


Brief given for the re-spray was to make it look a bit like the (newly-launched) ZX12. I quite liked it really. Then that taxi driver had to go and ruin the fun.

nice SP :)

dont suppose you have any bits of it left ?.. like the forks ? or the rear shock ? or the cams ? or the single seat unit ?

Sorry dude, it went in 2000! I've had three more bikes since that one!

No idea mate, sorry. It was nearly 9 years ago that I bought that and being my first bike, I didn't even know what I was looking at!

do you have fond memories of it? or where you glad to get a honda? i presume your on a honda now?

I do have fond memories. Even as a novice rider, it was obvious just how chuckable the ZXR was! First bike's always a memorable experience, anyway!

Switched to Honda after that. After the Kwak was written off I got a 1995 CBR600F, which I traded in for a brand new CBR600RR in 2003. After I binned that a couple of times, I flogged it and bought my current 2000 929 FireBlade with the cash. :)

I've tried to post some pics of them in order, but I just get a blank page and nothing posted.
