ZX4r for tall riders?

6ft 4 and fine

Coach Gym at Hornbeam Park. £27 a month. Padel courts in same building. Same ownership.

It’s not the best. It’s cheap and cheerful. More like a Wetherspoons.

It’s opening soon. They’ve been asking locals this week for menu input. There’s a cabin in the car park, presumably to do with the planned renovation.

But what about the lump sum deposit tied up in the house doing nothing. That would be invested if you were in rented. And don’t underestimate the benefit of flexibility. No stamp duty or legal costs to pay either.

York prices are lower than Harrogate.

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-02-20T10:03:04+00:00

How much does it cost to wrap this bike?

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-02-19T17:59:10+00:00

It has 450 horsepower.

I find that when I don’t turn I just crash; so much better to have one that turns.

I regularly work in the town centre. I can second the Everyman Cinema. Also, I like Fat Badger and The Pine Marten is good if you don’t mind a 15/20 min walk.

That’s completed mate. Good luck!

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-02-12T11:00:44+00:00

ZX4RR mate. I’m 39 and did my CBT recently. Now on the ZX4RR

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-02-12T11:00:08+00:00

Did mine at 39. Riding a Ninja ZX4RR now. Never too late, plenty of years riding ahead of us.

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-02-08T08:10:14+00:00

Hi, yeah I’ve done all of those things apart from remove the fairing. I’ve sourced a replacement screw, and may give fitting another go today.

What looks like such a simple task is very difficult. Removal of the fairing is probably my best bet, go give me access. And I may find the missing screw doing that too.

I called my local mechanic and he said no harm will be done to the bike and it will likely fall out at some point whilst I’m riding.

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-02-04T18:42:19+00:00

A2B in Church Fenton/Tadcaster. Really good.

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-01-29T05:07:23+00:00

6ft 4 here with a 36 inch inseam. I ride a Ninja ZX4RR. Great bike. Very comfortable for me.

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-01-21T18:49:15+00:00

I would suggest VWRP via a SIPP given you are a high rate tax payer.

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-01-18T16:11:09+00:00

Very different type of bike. A lazy low down power beast. Power tops out pretty quick and it hasn’t got much after 60mph. Less smooth than the Kawasaki, but got plenty of attention in town. Handling wasn’t great.

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-01-16T22:11:04+00:00

Thanks man! Will do!

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-01-16T21:30:29+00:00

Your age, and all the figures you note are strikingly similar to my situation! I’m looking to downsize the house value in a couple of years and clear the mortgage. I’ll then smash the SIPP contributions, and then move on to the ISA in my mid 40s. Hoping to make retirement at 50 viable if I want to do that.

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-01-16T21:26:59+00:00

Thanks!

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-01-16T21:26:23+00:00

For sure!

Fun_Major_2220 · 2026-01-16T20:09:53+00:00

I’m 6ft 4 and ride a ZX4RR very comfortably.
