The ZZR is the wife's first bike. When we got our hands on it, it had been parked uncovered in a parking lot for three years. Before she ever rode it, she helped me rebuild it from the ground up. My wife now knows more about her bike than most of the guys I ride with.

Proof:


Proud of her work. Took us like six months of working every night and on the weekends to get it here.




If you want any more, just let me know. I documented pretty much the whole build, so I have lots of picks.

It really is a blast to ride. It's comfortable, very quick-steering, and user-friendly. It makes like 39 hp, so you can really wring its neck and have an absolute blast without breaking the sound barrier or killing yourself- something that neither of my other bikes do well. There's something to be said for really tearing it up on a little bike like that.

Probably not, although I haven't tried very hard yet. The body, frame, lights, etc are all the same as the ZX6E, which is road-legal, but the engine is from the ZX4R, which was never legally imported to the US and so was never certified for road use. We can make money on it selling it in Japan, so we'll probably just sell it and get her something different in Texas. Besides, si
superslab on that thing would fucking suck.
