I didn't think so, but I could be wrong.
I scraped as much on my GPX as I did having a go on Pabs' ZZR (sorry Pabs ;) )
The ZZR does have more fairing, but it does also have a (slightly) more adjustable rear shock I believe. Most else is pretty much the same.
Either will do the job for you Pinky.

Welcome Susan

My wife (Zombie on here) has a ZZR250 which is a very capable bike. Nice and forgiving for a learner, easy to control at low speed yet capable of attaining reasonable pace should you so desire.

I've pinched it for the commute to work, and it coped perfectly well.

Hiya PinkBike...

Welcome!

ZZR250 is a great first bike in my opinion...

I had one as my first bike and loved it! I nearly cried when it came time to sell it...

Go the GPX mate, better scoot all round. cheaper, lighter & less plastic to break.

I think my GPX is a great bike, but the ZZR looks sexier. :D

Mmm... I like the look of more plastic, although there's more for me to scratch if I drop it :?

Thanks for your input :D The more the better!
