Just joined the forum (pleased to meet all! and hopefully not short lived!). I picked up this 1991 FZR pretty cheap around 2 years ago (call it a bad bike collecting habit).
It is in what I would call "ok" condition. Unfortunately the bodywork is suffering from a paint colour that fades and some neglect from an old drop or spill.
Half of me wants to restore it, the other half things it could be a money pit give probably needs a full respray.
The bit that is getting me is the paint job is dealer original. One of the old London deals from back in the 90s did a limited edition run and I still have the plaque validating it.
Wotcha and welcome - I am with the others - that paint job really pops but I would also suggest shorter dog bones braided hoses and completing a blue spot caliper conversion :o)

Law of averages says do it then! It's going in for a check over at my local garage next week so unless they tell me it's mechanically "screwed" it appears I have just gained a project
Will keep everyone posted on progress... ha and yes will probably need to pick your brains along the way!
