Route to the Storm
yeah all in order lol, bought the zx6r before i did test like an idiot.blindmaninchains wrote:Quite a few ex-ZZ-R600 owners here...
JonVTR, is that list in chronological order? Did you go from a ZX-6R to a RS125?
Sparrowlegs, how do the Storm and the TRX compare? I was considering
a TRX until I realised I could afford a Storm
then my older rs125's engine completely blew itself up so px'd it for another almost new at the time rs125.
And the nsr250 was more of a project bike.
Just wish now i kept the nsr250 and the zx6r.

CB125T unrestricted early model - with panniers made it into a 'Tin Wing'
Z400J Sebring pipe and 100mph :-)
CB250N - Good to crash and easy to fix but hinged in middle. Didn't dare brake as it took days to get back up to speed.
GS650 Katana shaftie - the joy of wheelspinning in the wet
CBX550F2 with homemade CB1100R paintjob - no ground clearance and weird enclosed disks
GPZ600R x2 both corroded to death in a couple of years
VTR1000 7 years of thumping fun still going strong
