Having owned a Kawasaki GT550 1992 for many years, i decided to buy another bike which was more modern and watercooled.I tok my freind's ZZr600 ( m reg) for an Mot and found it quite comfortable to ride( im 5ft7).So i looked into buying a ZZr600. Orginally i bought a 1998 Cat C ZZr600 off Ebay. The bike had very little damage to it only needing the clutch cable and silencer replacing to pass an mot. BUT i found owning a CAT C was a problem to insure. You cant uses any online qoutes, some places wont insure them and others will charge at least double the premium and there is no guarentee youll get paid in the event of a claim....Anyway so i decided to buy another one and use the CAT C for parts.The CAT C cost me 700,1999 Frame and logbook cost me 220 and then my time dismantling and rebuilding.The diffrence in insurance cost was halfed.. my premium is 74 3rd party F+T... cheaper than the GT550 i had!!.Another thing i did was to replace the front calipers with RVF400/CBR900 ones, which dramatically improoved the dodgy braking i had. Now i can lock the front wheel if i apply too hard!.Ive recently done a 274 mile trip and the bike ran fine.Handling is a bit naff, part due to suspension, but mainly the tyres Soft bridgestone on the rear(previous owner), which when powering out of the apex slides and Mitchellin Madcam?? on the front which runs noisey when cold an handles like your on black ice in the wet(sh#t tyre- but mot/road legal). I will save up and replace the tyres, most lightly Pirelli's
