My New Superbike

At last I found my Superbike! It is a ZXR250. Most of the ones in the market is from 1997 so it rare that I found one that was the last batch made (1999). It was registered only in 2001! I am now the 4th owner. What makes it even wonderful is that the previous owner came from Penang and I found out later he use to be my neighbour. What a small world! This is the second 250cc bike I own. The first one is an RGV250. That is a faster bike. That bike game me good memories and some hurtfull ones too. Cant blame the bike, I am too young and too wild. Hehe!!

Before anything, let me remind you that….. the colour sucks!! Sorry to the previous owner, but it hurt my and others eyes too much. This bike stands out like a sore tumb! Bike thieves will be eyeing it, Police will notice it and you will also have those pesky kids who will climb on top to test your bike while you park it somewhere.

So I plan to change a few things. First, I have change a new battery. The old one is not up to it anymore. Next, I’ll change the sprocket and “O”ring chain. This I will do end of this month. Right now sudah “Pok Kai Liau”. Oh.. I forgot to mention, I bought a pair of Glove for safety. Next on the list is a new Tri-Oval Titanium exhaust. This will burn a RM700 hole in my pocket, but it is worth the money. Infact, I might hold the Tri-Oval Titanium exhaust first and get the paint job done. Cant bare to look at ugly yellow thing! It looks like Mc Donnals clown!

Below is the new colour scheme. I’ll be using Matalic Black, Matalic Gun Metal and Red. The new colour will make the bike look sharper and much much nicer.



I am looking forward to ride this bike in the open but for now, I only use it on short trips. No lesen you see :P So I'll be taking my "L" soon.
