Kawasaki ZXR400L Race/Track bike

[Lateshift]

Kawasaki ZXR400L

£2200

This bike was built by Dynotech and then subsequently rebuilt and refreshed for the North West 200 by Bob Farnham and on its last Dyno run was showing 76bhp at the wheel

The bike did not get to race due to the previous owner Steve Heneghan (now Superstock Cup) having to concentrate on the R1 that he was also racing and as such it completed 4 practice laps before being parked up.
Extremely quick bike that is more than a match for any clubman or rookie bike on the grid and would also compete well in the Super bike 400 class too with the right rider.

I bought the bike with the intention of doing at least 1 track day a month before getting it refreshed over Xmas 2007, however given that I have spent most of my weekends this year in the pits spannering I haven’t had a chance to actually ride it more than 3 track days.

The most this bike has had to do was drag my carcass round Brands GP and Snetterton a couple of times in the Intermediate group, so its hardly been run in really, its using the standard CDI and redlines at 14500 (built for reliability) rather than the full 16000rpm that is achievable with a Dynatech Ignition kit.

I had a minor off on it at Coram Curve, Snetterton (low speed & low side on the grass) which put a small dink in the link pipe and a minor scuff on the can itself, it is purely cosmetic as the bike runs fine, there was no other damage to the bike other than the fairings on the right hand side of the bike getting a few small cracks, this however was repaired a week later professionally and so I had the whole bike completely resprayed too.

In terms of racing, the only thing this bike needs now is a shark fin (holes drilled for it already) and a transponder and bracket, other than that its fully lockwired and ready to go :)

Last chance at this for £2000

Can't be bothered with fleabay so if it doesnt sell it sits there till next year :D

[NinjaMad]

That is such a lovely bike, i aint got the money but what a good example

[DoodleBug]

Nobody??

Ive only just seen this mate due to being away.

Anyone out there that doesnt have a track bike and would like one this is worth a punt. DO NOT LET THE 400CC THING PUT YOU OFF! Its a little rocket. plus it probably shines like a new pin as the tart spends longer cleaning his bikes than riding them!

[Lateshift]

errr "longer cleaning them than riding them"

actually i find time to put in 1400 miles a month and still clean them ;)

you only just managed to ride that amount without the cleaning ;) :D

(and i stay on mine!) :D

slave to public transport! :D

[Lateshift]

I still dont leave until 07.30, and i am home by 6 at the latest! :D

Been bombarded with phone calls about this bike today so i thought it best to actually take a picture of the bike with the spares, apologies for the camera skill (or lack of :D ), but for what its going for its a proper bargain at £2000.

It was also run up tonight too and its running sweet as a nut :)

I also took one of the "dink" in the link pipe seeing as someone thought it looked serious, again this would cost around £40 to repair by Mark Hill of MHP ;)

Very likely the last pictures i will take off it, i will likely be sad to see it go but i wouldnt mind watching this race at some point next year (as it looks like its destined to be now :) ).

[Lateshift]

Sold

Sad to see it go, but looking forward to seeing it run next year, couldnt have gone to a couple of nicer blokes too :)
