Get rid of the hugger,, fir a good rear shock, re valve and springs on the front, Reinsports tyres and youll have a stonking and i mean Stonking road bike like mine >>>>>>>
This is a joke, right? No only is that not a two stoke, it's not a Honda either, it'll end in tears
Oh well whatever floats your boat (or in the case of the ZXR750 probably sinks it ), enjoy the workout _________________ Please do not PM me technical questions, if you can't find it on the Forum start a thread
Well, I had a ZXR750L1 about 6 years ago, and regreted selling it. That had alot of work done to it and was very quick. Close ratio box, trick cams, race system etc...
Dont worry, the hugger is going. Its got rearsets, quickshifter, full micron, braided hoses.
I just love big 4 strokes. My last 750 had Ohlins shocks all round too, this one will be going the same way!
I can think of a few bikes I'd rather than than the NSR, but that one certainly isn't on the list!
I'm sure you'll have though! _________________ MC21SP Plaything

Fontyy have you ever ever riden anything else? Hondas are ace ill agree with you BUT nothing comes close to a well sorted ZXR ive had a few bikes Bimota's, Ducati's, Yams And various Suzuki's Ive tried even More, You have to try these things, The ZXR is an outstanding bit of kit yes its heavy but by god dose it go well!! Ill swear by it! Barry, its shame you couldnt keep the NSR as well youll miss the 2 stroke. When its done give Fontyy ago Bet it changes his mind!!!!! GO ON fontyy hav a go !!!!
I'm going to keep my eye out for another NSR, but I love big 4's.
Dave, I can also think of a few bikes I'd rather have than an NSR too, and I like a road bike with plenty of power. Maybe I'll have an NSR next year as a track bike.
At last I can sit here with a smug grin on my face, having an MC21 and a ZXR750J2 in the garage!! (Oh, and a very sick looking RVF400). There is no sweeter sound than a ZXR with a "fruity" can!
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i have a k2 gsxr and thats a big fat whale compared to the 21 , wouldn't touch one of those heavy old buggers

Bet it doesn't, Steve's RC didn't
Not alot then! I find it very hard to belive UNLESS you are a complete and uter 2 stroke nut that the Blade, 748 and RC45 didnt impress. they blew my mind awsome bikes 748 being the best on the track. and you havent tried a ZXR750? and as for sinking and being heavy, you ride a transalp!!!! and didnt the 28 just sieze? serious mate try a sorted ZXR750 its as plannted as they come brilliant bike.
The 'blade was heavy, the 748 was heavier and felt it until it got going, Steve's RC needs the clutch slipping at under about 40mph (awesome bike though, far far too fast and didn't feel it, filtering at over 150mph anyone?)
They are just to easy to go fast in a straight line and too hard to stop and turn, that's not what I want in a bike presuming I'm just out for a fun time.
In my humble opinion it's the weight that causes all the woes, to say they are so similar sized and powered, even down to the same brakes my NC35 is light years behind in handling and braking (or so it feels) of the '28 and the likelyhood of any modern bike suddenly breaking 130kg is low indeed so the '28 stays at least until I get an RS.
The Transalp is just a tool, it gets me to work with zero fuss in the minimum time possible, it's perfect.
As for the '28 seizing, yep it did, that ZXR at the trackday wasn't too heathly either that's what mechanical stuff does, works for an indeterminable amount of time then breaks. All two strokes break more than 4 strokes as a general rule, they also tend to cost less to fix and it's easy to do. If you run a two stroke you deal with it, it will happen.
And if we're on about reliablilty we're back to Honda again, I know of several v4's with over 100,000 miles on the clock and no problems yet. I doubt many Kawasaki's are that long lived. _________________ Please do not PM me technical questions, if you can't find it on the Forum start a thread
