What would you buy?

If you go ZXR get an L model (93-95).  The J that preceded it was restricted to 100ps to keep the EU happy.  I had '94 L2 from new and loved it.  It's a better bike than the ZX7 R that replaced it.

if it was the sake of fantasy and I didn't have to worry about using the thing I would have a 748 in a heartbeat. If I actually had to part with my actual money it would be a VFR400.

If I was looking for a bike for every day and I was actually looking in 1995 I'd likely go for an early 90's CBR, either the 600F or the 1000. Still like the look of them amongst modern bikes now.

900 CBR Gilby? weight of a 600, power of a 1000 I recall the marketing was.

Had discovered that when I looked into them.

I actually like the H model as a bit more old skool.

you've sold it to me!

TBH now you've said 900 I really have a soft spot for the ZX9-R

If you're looking to do more sensible track days, why not consider the road bike only option.

Must have a full MOT (no daylight), road legal zorsts (98db) etc.

Only 2 groups, no 'Fast' group.

Dicko's doing one this month at Donny. I can't do it as my bike is too loud but I'll be watching and shall report back with my findings.

If be interested to hear too. The classic days restrict numbers in groups and ban any overtaking once committed to taking corners until you are accelerating away again. Any "modern classic" I buy will be road registered.

That sounds about as much fun as having sex with a favourite uncle.

when it comes to zxr's the H2 was a bit better than the H1 (bigger carbs, less rubbish oil filter design, better swingarm, bigger radiator e.t.c) but both of them had cripplingly solid rear ends. The J was supposedly the best handling but less powerful than the H2 or the L but was the lightest by about 10kg, the L was the ugliest (subjective I know!) and probably now the cheapest for a clean example and certainly the fastest thanks to the top end from the homologation K model but without the flatslides.

I'd say the best one to have if you dont want to mess with it is an L, as you do notice the lack of top end power on a J and those extra 18hp actually make a surprisingly large difference! But the J is prettier and the H2 has more retro cool
