Ok.. theres a lad that i work with who has very minted parents.. he's 16, rides a ped. he hasnt passed any bike or car tests and dad bought him a 3 series beamer the other day . Last week he saw my zxr400 and decided he liked it. today he came into work at sed his mum went out at the weekend and spent £5500 on a '98 ZX1400 for him. He sed he knows a meacanic thats going to restrict it to 33brake but if he cant he's gonna ride it un-restricted.

I had a chat with him on me break and sed he wouldnt enjoy the bike.. would probably dammage it trying to restrict it and will probably be dead within a week of riding it. This had no impact. ..tawt..

What are people's views on this?..

Are you sure hes not just bullshittin?

Sounds a bit ridiculas to me

I think he got ripped of for a 98 bike


Don't see how its any different to someone doing DAS and getting on a R1 or CBR thou for their first bike really.

If he's that minted does he want to buy my bike to use as a mobile ashtray/ mug holder ?:lol:

They didn't make a ZX1400 in '98 ..........

In fact, I don't think they've ever made a bike with that model name ....... it's a ZZR1400

They still didn't make the zzr1400 in 1998 I think your mate is living in a little dream land probably along with the bmw unless they are both made by corgi

ahahahahah nah i think probly has got this 1400cc bike but is either just exadurated etc or no's f!ck all!

i think next time you see him you should tell him youve just gone out and brought a private jet and that ure getting a twin turbo lancia delta integrale, and then to top it off your having rally lessons with colin macrae.

and then when he says really??? kick him in the teeth and then say no you f*cking retard thats all bullshit but thats what your into right??

He sounds like a tool.

Put ebola in his tea.
