zxr750 project
Discussion
Had this delivered today, 38k miles - 9 months mot, mechanically spot on - needs some TLC!
Ordered a replacement panel in the same colours off a breaker from ebay germany and looking at having the wheels blasted/painted or powdercoated along with the swingarm and rear brake caliper stabilizer!
OH and that SUZUKI rear exahust can has got to go!
Nice little lockdown project to keep me busy, she will be going up for sale then

I adore the colour scheme of these, looking forward to the post. Can you get some better photos up.
Agree. Proper 90's shell suit vibe. I'm not sure if I enjoy it ironically or not, but definitely like it.My Mum had the same bike in green/blue/white I believe. The 750 anyway. I remember it looking the absolute balls at the time.
The old man had a GSXR-1100 as well, it was quite the garage.
Edit: Tell a lie, I think she had the earlier one based on the pipes;

Probably earlier yes as this one is a 1994, i will try to get some better pics up! My Mum had the same bike in green/blue/white I believe. The 750 anyway. I remember it looking the absolute balls at the time.

Mechanically its absolutely spot on, starts first go of the button - just had the replacement fairing panel turn up today...
Really lucky to find that in the correct colour scheme and in such good condition!
Heading out at some point over the weekend to collect this..
Just trying to see if it will fit first may need a sleeve welding over it to fit.

So we all agree the OP needs to exchange his current ZX750 for the older one? 
LOL - i would probably trade it for the colour scheme alone (green rules) BUT i do have a soft spot for this ebony eventide scheme, its somewhat "different" isnt it?Hopefully have some updates a week on monday!
Small update - got the bike back from having the rims/swingarm blaseted and repainted - the wheels are a dark purple and the swingarm just redone in black. I had the side replacement side fairing put on at the same time along with two new Michelin Pilot Powers, first time i really got to ride the bike was the night i got it back - i have to say, what a machine! very stable, lovely midrange - great feeling bike to ride!
Its in much need of a clean so dont take too much from this picture as it WILL polish up quite nicely (iv tested a couple of parts) - its listed for sale at the moment for £1995 along with my fzr 600 as i fancy getting either an absolutely immaculate zxr750/zx7r in green or a fireblade BUT im not fussed if i end up keeping these and i will continue to work on them in the meantime, il be soon getting a quill exhaust for the zxr750 if it doesnt sell.
