Got another.... :)
After buying a really clean original KR-1, an opportunity to good to miss allowed me to get two of the bikes that I owned nearly 20 years ago, and the only two really I always wanted to have again. Nostalgia is a powerful force.
Need to take some pictures of the KR-1, but here are some pictures of my latest acquisition..a 1990 ZXR 750 H2.
11,500 miles
Never been used in the wet
Very near utterly mint.
Can anyone recommend a good ZXR web forum?

Well done waynester, an utterly gorgeous bike mate
I have a H1 in green/blue/white, just awaiting a bit of TLC
Unlike you though, I didn't have the chance to own them first time round as I was being paid a pittance as a YTS plumber
But a few years back I got bored of riding modern bikes & decided to own all the bikes I lusted after many years back.
I currently own 3 out of the 5, I use to dream about in the mid to late 80's.
I really cannot see myself ever buying another modern bike.

Same sentiment Howie.. The ZXR H2 feels like a proper bike..gorgeous too. She's a keeper

Yeah, that looks sweet alright.
Looks 10 times better than my H1 does, although mine is currently spread across most of the garage in bits.

Not a forum, but that site has some great info and tuning tips. Havn't found many good ZXR based forums yet myself as most of them are pretty inactive. If you find one yourself, let me know.

Thought you might like to see this one.My missus kept it when she packed the shop in.It's a mint US model H2.
It had been unused and stood with fuel in for quite a few years so it had gummed up the carbs,fuel tap,pump and the tank was full of crap too.So when we got time we cleaned all of the above,changed all of the fluids,new battery and away she went.It sounds fantastic It's a shame it's not used really,maybe next summer,just to keep the job right

Apparantly it was Wayne.I like it.It looks menacing just standing still.waynester wrote:Nice! Tough looking beast in black...was black an official colour over the pond then?
There were two in the shop,that were allmost indentical.They looked great together but one was sold and A good while ago I found this while doing a bit of research.It was still original when it left but someone has been messing.I wonder where it is now.

I agree with Gary too the ZXr was an RC30 for Joe Bloggs.
Yours is a beauty Wayne,well done.
