Picked this up today:

She is a 92 FZR 1000 Exup, someone has obviously loved this bike at some point, but its spent the last 5+yrs of its life being neglected and came to me today in a bit of a sorry state.
But i looked past the badly fitted seat unit,appalling seat position for anyone over 5"5, terrible paint, and general tatty'ness, and have seen some serious potential... so i handed over my £1000 and brought her home.
First things first, i did what any self respecting Fighter owner would do, i took her for a ride!
Only did 40 or so miles, just to get to grips with her, how she rode etc - Gotta say im impressed!! for a 22 year old bike, she sure does shift! wheelspins and wheelies a plenty, she sure does love being thrashed!
Future plans:
First things first, she needs a new front tyre!
Do something with the seat unit, most likely replace it with a k4 GSXR 750 seat unit.
New exhaust hanger
More Modern headlight setup, and possibly small digital speedo
Change exhaust at some point, something short and underslung
Bellypan to hide the hideous headers
Re-polish frame, swingarm, fork lowers, engine casings etc
Paint. Honda Nighthawk Blue most likely, its like a gloss black til the sunlight hits it then its pearled blue.
Loads on at work at the moment though, and my trackbike to finish off, so progress will be slow!
Peace!
