New to KSRC? Then why not tell us about yourself and your bike.

Be afraid Susan, be VERY afraid, put "And feel free to message me any time. " and tell him you're from Adeliade and you'll have porn pics flooding you before long and all of Neka :)

ZZR250 are a GREAT learner bike, veritable shitload of riders on this forum either have or have had same bike and all loved, reliable, easy and cheap to get parts for, handles well, goes well for a 250 etc etc.

Yes, well, when I wrote the first message, I wasn't aware of this evil, predatorial "Neka" creature from the deep nether-regions of KSRC forum land... ha ha :lol:

Fantastic, thanks for the info, and to everyone else too. I'm practically sold!

its ok...im sure we will get over it one day...mwahahahaha

wow..how many quotes in there!!..and ussually im really lazy....


ok..the zzr250..wow wot a cool little bike for learning and commutting... there pretty stable, almost bulletproof (dont let zzr steve ANYWHERE near it)...ive ridden one many times, and ridden with a few guys (and 1 ex gf) who could actually push them thru the twisties at a hectic rate....

they arent an import- so parts etc is easy to get hold of... insurance is ridiculous either.... if not a zzr then look at a GPX..similar bike in many ways, (motor & brakes) but less fairing to repair if u do drop it..




oh yea, and welcome!!
