What should I do with this bike?
What should I do with this bike?
This was given to me by a friend who has run out of places to hide bikes from his missus.
It's a ZZR600, has a V5, obviously been "ratted" so would require some work to become a track bike.
It's pretty quick though with 100bhp, the motor really screams through the full laser exhaust.
What to do with it though...

Re: What should I do with this bike?
I rode my mates zzr600 last year, very comfy bike, with a strong engine, i'd just stick some good tyres on and track it until it dies....

Sell it and put the money towards NZ
Re: What should I do with this bike?
He's given it to you to do as you like correct ?
Stick it on Gumtree £500 some muppet will buy it, if just for spares.
Be willing to take an offer as low as £300.
Or burn it as Virt said...

Almost sounds like it's worth purchasing as a track bike at £300

Ride it to New Zealand....
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Re: What should I do with this bike?
I like that idea a lot Wicky.
Thanks for your suggestions... so the general consensus is Burn it? My mate will pi55 himself when I tell him.
I was thinking along the same lines as you Lloydie, but it's kinda growing on me (like a scab), so I'm tempted to store it, then next year I'll have a cheap track bike project.
I could graft some cheap ass race fairings on, clipons, supercorsas and just learn how to ride properly on the track
Hmm... or knobbly tyres and go green laning again...

Re: What should I do with this bike?
Depends if it floats your boat or not. If it does mothball it and it's there for your track outings when you get back from NZ. Personally I would out it to raise more funds for your trip. Good luck whatever you decide

Re: What should I do with this bike?
To make it track ready would cost a lot more than it's worth and a damn sight more than a box of matches or disposable lighter. they were a soft and soggy bike when new, do you really want to be buying a shock, fork springs, rearsets, etc etc... you can't polish a turd
Whack it on ebay someone will see some value in it.
