Glad I have finally found a group of people who are as nuts about the FZR as I am. I wanted one when they first came out but could never afford one as a teenager and over the years I always said how I would like one but never got around to it, so when my husband asked me what I wanted for my 40th birthday I knew straight away.
This is my pride and joy
I hate the yellow dunlop tape around the fairing, but after 5 years of owning the bike I still have not plucked up courage to peel it off and see what it is hiding! I didn't do much riding last year as a car smash resulted in me needing 3 screws in my right shoulder, only just started getting the full range of movement back too and it has knocked my confidence a bit too I admit, but I am hoping that by next spring I will be back out on the roads more.
I am also debating whether to attempt rebuilding the little CM125 that I have owned for 29 years so I can use it to commute to uni and back as it's going to be a lot cheaper in fuel than the FZR or the kia "bus".
I'm one of the old foggie's from the saga chapter in East Yorks. Blimey I wish my wife would buy me a bike for one of my birthdays. All I get is a tin of Lynx body spray and despite what the advert says it doesn't work for me.
Lets hope you're in our neck of the woods. Like stig says there's a good bunch of us get together when we can for a cuppa and a laugh, and yes stig it is the Seaways Cafe at Fridaythorpe. We normally have a meet up in Lincoln in September. I'm wondering if we are all up for it if I put it up in the meets and rides out section???
Nice sexy looking bike by the way especially covered in soap suds.

Bit of advice. Buy a good bed and a good pair of shoes, because if you aren't in one you'll be in the other.
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone,
Learn from the mistakes of others.............................
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself

Carpe Diem - seize the moment. Don't dream... Do!
see the pics of my FZR .....I had to sell it 12 years ago and my son (24) found it . We went to see it and I bought it back......moreover, I bought na old YZF750 to my son....look the pics sequence in my page and you will see what a excelente rebuilding job he did.
