So Team Zero was a dutiful husband and bought Zerogirl a 400. It's an RVF or a VFR or an RGV or some damn thing. It's a Honda, at any rate. It arrived in my workshop the other day, after we thrashed.... err.... tested it at the Creek the other week.

Did some work yesterday. It was set up for a tall, fat man (as they often are) and we need it to suit a small, slim girl. So reducing the seat height is a top priority.

Check out the 12mm spacer at the top of the shock!! Might remove that...

Have a guess which spring was on the shock. Yep, the tallest, thickest shock I've ever seen! Certainly the biggest in my collection. It's the front middle one, in this photo (dirty yellow).

D'oh! I meant 'as 400s often are'!! Not 'tall men are often fat'. My bad.

I'll be watching this build, I love these small bikes so much.

I think I'll be converting my mrs 250RR to a trackbike, it's kind of written off :(

It will take a lot of convincing but ill try Jo!
She T-boned a car that turned into a driveway across her on the way home from the track on Sat :'( She got away with it amazingly well, only got a bit of bruising and a very sore arm. She's really upset about the yellow rocket though. Hopefully I can salvage it into a track bike!

Ah cool, I wasn't sure if she'd told anyone she was sooo upset about it :(

it doesn't seem to have deterred her at all though
