Welcome dude. 
Lets see more pics then!
I also had an FZR250 years ago. It was on a D-reg and if I remember correctly it redlined at something like 17500rpm.

Welcome to the forum. You're not an oldie though - some of us are a little older than 44!

Re: Oldie but newbie
Hello not quite so Oldie think you're under the average age on here 
Thats physical age, not mental. Think that one is hovering in the early teens
