Default My new ride

As a few of you may know I have been tossing up with the idea of selling the Fiesta and buying another car, I was looking at the XR5T but decided to get something very different.

What I ended up with was a 1989 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-2R.

Its a good and original condition especially considering the age of it. But now for the important stats

0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) 3.8 s
Maximum speed 136 mph
Max power 45 hp (33.6 kW) @ 16000 rpm
Max Torque 18.07 ft·lbf (24.5 Nm) @ 11500 rpm
Redline 19000rpm

Dont need a quick bike when you are learning anyway.

Better to learn the craft of riding on something a little more controlable before you go all out on a 600 or litre bike.

One day ill get a GS500 and get my licence so i can ride legally.
