Biggest bike ive been on was a bandit 600 as pillion , it was really torquey at low rpm . anyway ive regually gone pillion with NY_sniper on his zxr400 and gs500 . Hes mental he rides really fast and leans loads . Anyway when i go pillion with him it shits me up but i love it , as im not in controll i dont know whats going to happen etc . I do trust him so its ok but still shitsme up.

Went on the back of his zxr750 today and jesus christ that thing shifts , its like shit of a shovel he was taking it steady at first then we came to a dual carrage way and its like 2 miles of straight and he just wound the throttle back and fook me i could swear everything just went in slow motion it was good.

I dont know why but going pillion is fun in a scary way, the 750 compare to the 400 is weird when i was pillion on the 400 my head was level with his but on the 750 i cud see straight over his head as i was sat higher up so all the wind hit me.

Just thought id put up a little post Very Happy anyway loved the zxr750 really nice smoth bike Thumbs Up

Exactly, when my ZXR was running it made me grin from ear to ear. I would definitely choose another one, and recommend one to people as an alternative to the hum drum of 600's.

It's a ZX7R.

And yes, it looks like, and sounds like, a beast.

Are you saying it's actually a 7R and he's got it confused?

Hi,

There's the small fact that I know it's a ZX7R, because it looks like this:

https://www.tamparacing.com/forums/attachments/bike-sale/61614-03-zx7r-3k-miles-p1010021a.jpg

Not this:

https://www.zxr750.de/ZXR750de/images/menuleiste/titel.jpg

And there's the other fact that I have seen it in real life, sat on it in real life and been on many a rideout with him in real life.

Thumbs Up Hope this helps.

No where as near as fast (or fun, I reckon) as a 'hum drum' modern 600.

Indeed. Although I can't speak of the ZX7R, I went from the ZXR750 to the ZX6R (636 model), and the smaller bike was faster everywhere Thumbs Up

Horses for courses.

IL4 or V4

Chain or shaft

Naked or sports

Whatever you feel comfy and happy with, I just could not fault it for the whole package once you get over the crippling back ache and sore wrists. I just dont get the same buzz when I read about or see a modern sports bike compared to one of yesteryear like the ZX750 and ZX7R.

The 750 is an odd cc range, dropped by most manufacturers except Suzuki as not competetive enough against the 1000s and too big for the 600s in racing. Indeed most modern sports may whip its saggy ass but if not, you just got owned by a 15 year old bike Laughing

With the new rules in MotoGP will their be a return to 750cc bikes or new and exciting 800s?

Doubt it, since they're all prototype bikes and not production models. You'd need the same capacity rules to come into effect in Superbikes for there to be a bunch of new 750cc bikes hit the streets.

I stand corrected then.

I thought it may have been like WRC, the manfacturers have to make so many road going versions to qualify.

That's true of the Superbike series', but MotoGP is more like F1 - build what you like (within the rules).

dunno if this will make a good or intersting point or not but the only two big bikes i've had is a 2001 GSXR600 and a 1995 ZXR750..

basically i could go faster on the 600, just so much easier to do so but i get more of a kick out of the 750, just more to manage and man-handle, may not be as quick but i can keep up with a little more effort, and that's the awarding part.

saying that i could have another modern 600 if i wasn't so skint Laughing

750's are cool though so Dance!

Faster - Newer - Lighter and 100's of them all exactly the same at your local bike meet. Some people prefer something a bit retro with some character.

I think I have a vendetta against my FZR, but I think its but ugly compared to similar bikes of the same generation.

Dont see many FZR750s for sale, same as the 250, shed loads of 600 / 1000's, so maybe quite rare.

That paint job is a common colour scheme on panels on ebay.
