Heres your Kawasaki:

Heres the closest I could find for the 1990:

That top one has 50HP, the bottom one has 98HP so I cant imagine the 500 would have anything close to 50HP.

The 1998 looks hotter, and has lesser miles (of course it probably costs more). It also weighs about 100LB's less.

Isn't the zzr500 the non-US version of the ninja500?

If so here are the specs:

The bike isn't worth that much. That's approximately 3100 US dollars. (http://finance.yahoo.com/currency?u) I myself am picking up an ex 250, 2005 model, for 2/3 of that price, which for you would be about 1500 euros. (I am, however, getting a deal.) If you want that bike, by all means, go for it, but just be warned that the asking price seems to be inflated.

This is assuming that the bike is identical to the ex250 in the US. If so, beat the seller down to a reasonable price. If not, disregard this post.
