just picked up an H reg ZZR600 , not sure what to do with it.

Is it worth fixing up or breaking for spares?

Ive never had one before and know nothing about them

On face value, it looks in good nick, although the front brake hanging off is interesting; if someone who doesn't know what they're doing has been trying to work on the bike & made a mess, then it could be a waste, in this case, if someone has botched a pad change, they could've made a mess off the piston seals.

I'd suggest (Assuming you're capable with spanners etc) getting the fairing off & having a good poke about & see if it is mechanically sound.

If it is, keep hold of it as they hold pretty good value, I've seen lower mileage versions going for the price of a decent SV650.

If it's a compelte dud, you can either flog it to a breakers or pull it apart yourself & sell it that way.

save her!!! looks to have been well looked after at some point, with that high screen on. have a look at the front calipers, if your fixing it up your gonna want to upgrade to a nice set of nissins, the folks over at zzr-international can help with that. anyway, I would always say save, im currently fixing an '82 gsx400e that I found in a rusty heap, and its not as bad as id feared :)

might as well get some spare parts. Check out craigslist and try to pick up anything you can for the low... these are fun litle bikes to ride anyway.
