Oh what the heck my wife bought mine 3.5 years ago because i was down in the dumps after the worst holiday I ever had !
This was her at at my Pal who had sent me the pic (he knew I was looking for a mid size bike ie 600 but the Ducati's he had were all too small for the 6'2" of me.)

Slung a leg over her and it was mine

Since then she has had two swing arm swaps (see my website for the full story ) a set of PD Valves (emulators in American speak) fresh springs and tyres. Blue dots & stainless lines a couple of minor detail mods. Slip on silencer that I re-made from a wrecked superbike cast off.

Winter project:-
a new set of fairings (all bought) but two paint jobs required. One for stone stock look and my Blue scheme for a spare set.
Sitting waiting patiently in the wings is a freshly powder coated FZR400 17" rear wheel with polished lips & all the bushes disks etc to fit straight on the bike.

Bought my 94 as you see and it still is back on 97 I think. Been caring for it like a baby since. It has only 12500 miles. Working on it now so I can ride here in the cool season...Phoenix AZ!Image
1994 FZR 600 White/Blue/Yellow. Been stored for several years and had 12K miles on it now. Working to get it back on the road.
