NICE!
i love me some nice fzr's! my first sportbike was an o3 r6 bought in dec o5. i had a ktm 640 enduro for a few years before that. i was looking for an as stock as possible fzr 400 all over the east coast and found one 5 miles from my house 30 minutes after it was posted for sale. bought it and it barely made it to my house. had to stop to prevent it from overheating. lol... got laid off from work 2 weeks later and spent 70 hours cleaning and restoring it. tore that thing down something serious! i rebuilt the carb, forks, calipers, cleaned the funk out of the radiator, etched the inside of the tank and sealed it, on and on and on. i cleaned every square inch of that bike before i reassembled it too...
had it dynotuned at RnR Cycles in sterling va and modified the airbox to get the a/f ratio spot on as possible...
after all the hard work, i rode it to summit point in wv where i was corner working for a track day and took some pictures on the track during lunch break. i had folks trying to buy it from me that day. ha ha
not much later, i gave the 400 to ali abubaker who took it to maxton nc, to compete for the record in the stock 400cc class. he was able to break the long time standing record by 2 or 3 mph, setting the record in the low 120's. the bike had over 30k miles on it iirc. so i was stoked...
most memorable ride on it was to the inaugural moto gp race at indy. i rode in that damn monsoon of rain storms from hurricane ike, i think it was.
i put roughly 10k on it. i named that bike "sucker punch" because i'd go on aggressive group rides on it and everyone underestimated the bike (and me) because they saw some old antique. lol... i ended up selling the bike before i moved to cali almost 2 years ago. boy, do i regret selling that bike. sadly, i don't think the new owner had any appreciation for the shape and history of the bike when he got it. he may have put it on the racetrack from the sound of his intentions. smh...
so anyways, yeah, i love me some fzr's. 6's and especially the 400's. take care of it and you will have many miles of fun on it. (post more pictures -- everyone!) ha ha...
if i can find a cbr400rr, that may be my next project. sorry if that was long winded. :sing
