will do as soon as I see it, he bought it from a local racer in New England that he knows.

I just called him and told him that when they added a 250 class at Loudon they meant Ninja, CBR, GTR, and WR250X, not TZ!

My all time favorite bike, except for the TZ750, the Britten, the NCR Ducati, and a few others.

You really have to be a mechanic to own one, or have the money to have a mechanic with you whenever you ride it.

The best bike for a real racer.

He was just telling me cranks go for like $2K or some crazy number. He used to be service mgr so he's pretty set that way, now its just a matter of $$$.

By the way GR has a TZ750 from days past, I think he should try to get that thing running just to listen to it run.

I think he should take it to a trackday and let me ride it! Not Loudon (way to small a track).

I'm guessing at this point it probably would need crank seals?

that $2k crank doesn't grow on trees. price is $500 a session! or $100 a session if you're an attractive woman and its a two-up ride. somehow i dont think cowboy is an attractive woman though, but i've been surprised by cowboy before.

There is nothing more fun than scary fast. I do believe the TZ750 is at the top of that list.
