It is an fzr 600. I saw the advert on line and contacted the guy. He stayed about 1 1/2 mile away, so i went to see it and made an offer. He accepted 
I then had to push the bike 1 1/2 miles back to my house. (It was all uphill) Without a word of a lie i thought i was going to collapse in the street 
. I thought i was clever.... i brought tools to remove the calipers because they were sticking...Unfortunately for me the chain was completely rusted solid. It felt like i was pushing a pan european with a flat tyre :grumble Got it home eventually (i think it took 45 mins) My missus said my face was purple :'( I got stuck into it over the course of a month or so.. new battery, cleaning carbs etc... It ran really well and pulled cleanly, kept it for a few months and sold it on. I will never forget pushing that bike till the day i die.

If it's broken, it's not fixed.
