Here's what the frame supposed to look like:
https://suprememotos.com/kawasaki/99943-1987-kawasaki-zx750-fi-black.html
Could be that it was, originally, one of "those" builds, and the guy just stopped. However, it hasn't had an MOT since 2008, so presumably hasn't been on the road since then (which makes the presence of that Ebay speedo and the still-in-packet unused pod filters curious). Things you can't see in the photos: VIN number and the frame's top tube. I'm not sure what's been done to the swingarm - various Google pics of ZX750s show the caliper either above or below. As it's a different colour, perhaps it's a standard one that was bought by the seller after he acquired the frame. This is like a murder mystery. |

This nauseating, bad form over function pile of shite started out at £6000
and was last seen offered for £2500 which is still ten times as much as the
few useful parts are worth.

I'll give you 99p for it mate , have you got change for a pound?

That tank looks alloy and must have cost a fortune to make , it looks shocking. so does the seat , it would have been quite possible to make a racing style seat that fitted the lines of the frame and had an attractive appearance, meeting the tank , but no lets just bolt on a far too short shop bought seat , at an angle and that will do. 90% of it looks well done but the tank and seat is an aesthetic night mare. ____________________ All the above is my personal opinion, you can see my lips move, but I'm talking out of my arse.
I've been riding, and fixing , bikes for 50 years, in that time the more I learn, the less I am absolutely sure of..... |

Looks decent apart from the seat and how he tried to pretend it's a BSA. Like all cafe racers though the original always looks far better. |
