Its not a zed I know, hell its not even a car but though it might be of intrest to some.
Pick up this reck about a month ago. That has been sat in the garden whilst I got my exams out the way. Its a 1989 VFR400. Bit of a classic, V4 engine with about 59bhp not loads but when you consider this one is around 175kg. Power per tonne is pretty decent
Was looking at ZXRs (baby ninjas) but the single sided swing arm made me get this one. The Tyga bodykit that transforms it to a modern looking bike was a big brucey bonus
Seems its been off the road or in a half build form for quite a while. I bought it off a lad who had planned to rebuild it but had failed. So fingers crossed I have better luck with it.
Had a budget which Ive already blow on parts
Oh well budgets are only there to be broken!
Bodywork obviously needs alot of work, that doesnt phase me in the slightest. The engines are said to be bullet proof but have ordered full gasket set.
Anyway got my last exam tomorrow and so will then be stripping it right back to the frame and start from the base up. Not sure the gf quite knows what she has let herself in for as there are going to be parts everywhere!!
Got the ibis white ready to go.

Made a start on the bike today, got the fiddly bits off. Cant do much more untill I get some more sockets as need a 36mm to for the wheel nut, 41mm for top yoke and a 46mm axle and a locking nut tool for the swingarm. I dont understand why manufactures use such random sizes.
