    I love my little R1-Z it's a real hoot to ride and brings out the hooligan in me. I made a few changes to mine to make it a bit more competitive in the performance, handling and braking departments while keeping the ports standard and it is a real flyer for it's size now and revs to the moon and back. Great bikes

    R1z is beautiful looking bike, twin 2t engine sounds brilliant too, 2t is most of our first experience of motorbikes too, lovely

    You bugger - I didn't want to click on this & now I want another R1Z. Had one a few years ago but it wasn't in such superb condition, & apart from taking 30 kicks to start from cold, it never let me down. Kicking myself now for selling.

      It’s so nice to ride, love a 250cc 2 stroke , never had one of these personally as I had KR1S’s and RGV’s .. mate I wish I still had mine now as well

    Lovely! Reminds me of my TZR125 I had in 1990. Wish I still had it.

      The amount of bikes I wish I still had 😂 they are not everyday bikes, well not anymore any way, I wouldn’t want to do a lot of flat straight miles on one but for just a little blast around the lanes 2strokes are awesome

    Love a two stroke, my first road was bike a Suzuki GT 185, then KH250, RD 350LC, they all fetch serious money now. Been looking on eBay too lol

      Ian yeah mate I think when you started on 2strokes you always have that love for them, anything 2stroke seems to be fetching good (for the seller) money now.. a few of the guys here have some nice 2strokes so will get some videos on them all

    Refreshingly honest appraisal. I’ve had mine for about 10 years. They really aren’t that fast, it is only a 40hp 250 at the end of the day, and the standard front calipers are terrible, worse than my single pot calipers on my LC. But they handle fantastic, I fitted r6 calipers and a Nitron rear shock. I love it. Sounds good even on standard pipes.

      Awesome, yeah it’s such a nice bike to ride around twisty roads, they are not the fastest bike but when your on the throttle and in the power band it feels great, loved it, and thanks , appreciate it :)

    K2tec pipes are really bad designed. Cuts off lot of horse power.
