I had an old FZR too mate. Rode it all the way down through france to Monaco, then all along the med coast. St. Tropez, Nice, Beziers, right down to the Spanish border then back up through France on the atlantic coast all the way home to England and she never missed a beat. Matter of fact the only thing I had to do was adjust the front brake lever coz I cooked the fluid with all the braking on the peripherique in Paris. Dragged her onto the hard shoulder and was off again after 5 minutes of tinkering:thumbup Bloody good road trip that was and I had no trouble keeping up with my mates on their ZXR's etc which were very fast bikes back then. Probably the most reliable bike I ever owned. You'll have hours of fun on it mate:bounce
