Ok.. (a nice vague topic title)..

[Eddie Hitler]

Been asking alot about potential bikes.. well.

Found myself a red ZXR7. 1996, 30k miles and loads of extras.

Thats tasty. Is the can shorter, or is it the angle of the photo?

Best looking bike of that era. I love them, and that looks like a nice example.

Just literally sold my vfr400. I can hear the guy leaving now .

So stage one complete. Rang the kawasaki man up this morning (20 minutes ago) and viewing sunday. He's asking £1200, and from what i've seen thats a fair deal. Although i will offer £1100 of course .

This bike was one of the first i saw as a kid, to have one pop up locally and this good nick its a crime for me not to buy it.

Its a shorty can, but i believe he has the original too.

Nice. Best of luck with the sale.

Then when you get to see the documents put the ref No in here and you can view the MOT history including any advisories. You have to look for on the bike then.

Hope it rides straight as its blatently gone down and all been resprayed. heavy bikes too but otherwise not too bad, mikes was so heavy it was near impossible to get it to lift its head at all.

Not a fan of the colour combo but thats cosmetic. I liked my od 7r and would have another if funds and time allowed.

Hey, thanks for the replies. Saved that link on my phone

Its had a fair whack done to it, but ill try the £900 start for sure . Like you said, can always go up. Im going to use the bike next year mostly, never really found a bike at this price/condition this summer, so thinking of next year.

[Fisty]

From what I can see... bad points....

Aftermarket fiberglass tail unit
Mismatched couloured fairings
Carbon frame covers possibly hiding damage
Brakes upgraded to a downgrade.
RHS fairing damaged and bolts missing
Screen bolts missing

Good points.

Stainless system
Its a ZX7R.

Id be using those points alone to knock a fair chunk off the asking price!

Another good argument for checking the MOT history - coz if it hasn't got any, it's probably an ex-trackday bike!

I've got one of those in my garage at the moment, (it's my brothers). They are heavy, have an agricultural feel to the engines (in a good way), 190 rear section, wide front - looks really good, sounds really good, enjoy .

He also did the 4 pot brake mod as he was chewing up seals on the shitty 6 pots.
