Hi from a non streetfighter.

[Nelso]

I was told about a thread on here that linked to a story about me and AUSFR by a mate of mine, so I joined to fill in a few details for people. I don't have a streetfighter, just a ZRX1200 for the road, '04 ZX10 for a trackbike and a Husky TE511 dirty. My wife also rides and used to be an A grade road racer so we get out and ride a bit. She has a 2010 ZX10 for the road and an '05 ZX6 track bike and is about to get her first dirt bike; an old KLX250. None of our bikes are standard either, so I at least have something in common with you streetfighters.;)

AUSFR is a dirty word around here.....

Welcome ... pics are good cause we don't read good.

[wackyrider]

Welcome mate. And pics are a must here :)

[Nelso]

Pics are a must eh?

Ok then. Here's on of my wife and I cruising together on a track day, one of the only time I took the ZRX onto the track and the road bikes on one of our trips.

I snapped one of their bars and they promised to look after me but didn't so it's a dirty word in my book too. This is the thread that introduced me to this place. http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/showthread.php?24639-Half-off-abm-bars

Welcome mate,

[NINJAINOZ]

Welcome Nelso, I thought a few people here needed to be warned of the high quality ABM bars that you broke, OH well me showing the pics from your KSRC thread got you over here to ASF, The ZRX is pretty much already a streetfighter anyway isnt it?

Im sure you will find some good reading in here too

[JimZXR]

How do Nelso; would Phil and the rest of the ZRX bretheren approve of it being touted on here as a fighter?!?

Bad news about the bars; I hadn't spotted that one on KSRC!

I know not to send ANY of my business to AUSFR now!!!!!

[EVLZX]

It's not a streetfighter, it's not streetfighter styled either, that little fairing is almost an exact copy of the one on my old 83 GPz250.

That's what it is it's a replica or a ujm whichever floats ur boat.

[NINJAINOZ]

I dont know? This fellow says it is so....

I like the ZRX, but its not a "fighter. ( Well a stock one isnt )
Its another retro / naked bike like the XJR, GSX14 and CB.

No one ever agree's on what a fighter is, some have fairings, some naked, some clip-on's,
some Renthals, some built from sportsbikes, some built from tourers or nakeds.

The one thing a fighter is NOT and can not be is a factory bike.

A factory fighter is like a brand new antique. A contradiction in terms.

Welcome to ASF Nelso, I'm the one who showed Steve the link from here with the broken bars, he said he knew you and well here you are. Nice bikes by the way.

"Modifications:

Faring’s removed
Suspension Lowered
Polished outer-rims
Compression adjusted
Matt Black paintjob
Street fighter twin headlights + custom headlight fairing
Custom leather seat
Rego tube holder
Street fighter mirrors
Mini Billet Indicators (front)
Oggy knobs"

Doesn't sound very streetfighter, oh wait it's got the rego tube holder :D
Looking at that it's a crashed zrx1200s replaced the headlight with some doms replaced the sock indis with some cheaps as shit ebay specials, mirrors to replace the s mirrors chopped the mud guard.
I would never call that a streetfighter.
"Compression adjusted" what the fucks that? What was it running a bit low.
"Unlimited power and no bullsh1t! " the zrx has nice power and good potential but I call that statement "bullsh1t"
And the price is way over inflated.
Oh and the custom leather seat, really, doesn't even look reshaped probably got the cover off ebay and a stapler:)
Anyway the seller is obviously being "creative".

There we go that's my bitch for the day.

Haha, yeah I never thought the ZRX would ever be thought of as a streetfighter. It's a replica of a replica. Mine is a retro styled bike modelled on the ELR (Eddie Lawson Replica) Z1000. It does have a few mods, I.e. Full Akra system, stage 3 jet kit, pod filters, -1 +2 gearing, Ohlins rear shocks resprung and revalved for 120kg rider, forks resprung and revalved, fork brace, solid handlebar mounts, bar end mirrors, heated grips etc. Then there's a few blingy bits like different radiator mounts, sprocket cover, chain-guard, fender eliminator etc. So it is a little bit modded, but it's nothing like a streetfighter.

Thanks Stu. I wasn't sure if Jugs was a member here or not, but he did tell me that someone showed him the link and he thought "fuck me, I know him!". lol

Yeah, it happened a while ago so it was buried in the archives. I don't think the ZRX fold would approve of it being touted as a fighter either. lol As for AUSFR, after that incident I have steered well clear of them and warned others to do the same. I get the impression there are plenty of others around here that think the same way about them.

[Nelso]

Im sure you will find some good reading in here too

I have already. I really enjoyed reading Yella's write up about fitting his turbo to the ZXR. It gives me evil ideas for a project that I'd love to take on.
