'96 ZX7R - My new toy

[RhynoCZ]

So, today I bought a ZX7R, when I saw it, I couldn't resist it. It has some minor bugs like rear turn indicators, foot pegs and some rubber bits and scratches, but it works and looks great. Well, there is paint in the tank, I'm gonna have to wash that out, but other than that it's alright. I only tested the bike upto 120kph, since I'm noob to superbikes. My mate gave it some flat out miles on the way home and said it was powerful enough with very good stability. So, I think it'll be alright. I'm gonna check some things anyway, as always, just to be sure it's safe to ride. There is some rust on headers and rear spring, but nothing major. Here it is for 37k CZK / 1233.33 GBP

Congratz!

I'm loving mine at the moment. They're a little heavy at slow speeds at first but you'll get used to it.

I think you've got the European projector lights, get some HIDS in them ASAP. They look super cool on those lamps

Screen doesn't look straight, that really winds me up. But I have OCD with stuff like that.

Looks tidy, but bald tyres?

[Simeski]

Well, the rear tire is, I'd say alright, but some would already change it and the screen is a bit off, I'm gonna put an original piece there. This screen is too dark to see through. The front tire is nearly brand new.

The only two things that I'm a bit concerned about is the rear shock and the exhaust. The rear shock is easy and cheap to fix, but the exhaust can get pricey. I'm gonna make some photos of those parts tomorrow. The rear shock works alright, I think and there's no leakage from the exhaust. I'm gonna clean the exhaust and paint it with some preservative coating, just to extend its lifetime and then maybe get a new one.

I still can not believe how a '96 road bike can get rusty. I had '88 GPz550 after a man that never heard of maintenance, at all and there was no rust. Kawasaki got cheap

Out of interest, how much is it to insure where you are? Do you even need insurance?

Today, I went to my insurance company, told them to give me the cheapest insurance they could provide to me and I'm gonna pay 1572CZK / 52.75GBP per year. I was so surprised that I had to tell this to my mate who actually told me, he got changed the conditions of his insurance contract and now he's on 1386CZK / 46.51GBP per year on '98 Fireblade, I mean, give me a break, I payed 63.75GBP on the NC27 I had.
Anyway, I'm gonna pay even less then a half of the base rate, that is 3152CZK / 105.77GBP per year. I just thought I'd share a few numbers with you.

I am 23, riding on my own rockets about 4 yrs. The insurance only covers the damage you cause with your vehicle when you crash into something or someone. I am covered upto 1,006,711.41GBP for material damage and the same amount for health damage I could cause with my motorcycle to others. So, the company could possibly pay for my mistake (one accident) about 2 milion pounds. I got bonuses for those 4 yrs with no insured even, loyalty bonus and ''trust'' bonus. The last one means that I pay them less money and if I crash into someone, I shall pay them the difference of the bonus and standard rate.

Must suck if it gets randomly vandalised or knocked over and left.
