1990 Kawasaki ZZR250 review from New Zealand
"Fun, smooth, great bike"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing major has gone wrong with my ZZR, but I have ridden it hard, on some long runs and to work most days.
Now the engine seems to be a bit noisy and she has lost a little power. I would love to know what the noise is about.
General comments?
She has pretty good acceleration.
She has awesome handling and is very light to be flicked around.
She is a comfy ride.
Has a good all-round look.
