I grew up with my older cousins turning up one day on his nearly brand new '89 GSXR750 and a year or so later his brother on a black, red and silver '89 ZXR750. Loved both immensely and a ZXR750 or ZX7R are on my bucket list.

Had one for 10 years. Put latest sticky tyres and race pads in it. Handling was rock solid. Brakes pretty good. Just a bit underpowered. Not easy to wheelie but after enough practice i could wheelie through first with a clutch up. And rolling burnouts in 1st and 2nd. Great bike but i prefer the look of 93 to 95 zxr750 the most.

The choke always increased revs too much it couldn't be left unattended on mine, suppose you get the same issue. I would lower the choke off asap as I don't like cold revving. Great bike, had loads of fun on it.

Good luck finding one of these today. Super rare in theUS today plus chances are that if you do it’ll have been crashed at some time in its life and been parked in some apartment complex parking lot and all the fasteners will be rusty. Kawasaki doesn’t make body parts for old bikes like this anymore. This one looks like it’s been living in a nice garage most of its life. Nice example!

I agree they were never the best bikes in there class I think due to they were made to out sale the vfr's on price so a few compromises on design. This was the first bike that got me into bikes when they came out when I was 12 years old so just wanted to own one but there actually quite fun for £1500 and iconic. Don't see many around now.
@nigelmitchell3515 жыл бұрын
Hey Dan they were damn good! Drop the yokes 15mm and front end was superb. Rear shock was way over damped so I took the shock down, guesstimated a mod to the shim stacks regassed it, slightly lighter spring which kawasaki supplied Then all good. Enjoy. PS I think I still have the info of how I modded the shims if you want it? Had a micron pipe on mine worked fine.

nigel mitchell hay man sorry I don't look at my messages often, I sold this bike a year ago and went for a 90 gsxr 750 slingshot and now just gone onto a zzr1400 but I'm still regret selling this zxr as they were just the best looking bikes and those hover pipes are just epic. Cheers for info though if I get another day will check out the mods you suggested it just never felt confident in the corners stock. Kind regards Daniel

Would rather have this gorgeous thing than any modern day bike. May not be cutting edge now but this is when bikes looked way better and those intake tubes made it look so aggressive. Modern day bikes are over-teched and just don't cut it for me with their quirky looks. This ZXR was when sports bikes looked at their best regarding style. 80s and 90s sports bikes for me any day rather than most Millennial stuff.

I'd love to be able to buy a J2 though but the prices are astronomical these days. I think I've missed the boat on that one. Hey, by the way, what camera gear are using to film your rides ??
