I put up a thread about a w4nky 1997 VFR, then you do this to me.

PMSL!!!!! Sorry mate!!!
Your VFR looks mint mate!!


BTW, it sounds like a SR71A Blackbird at full chat!!!!! Ha!!!

Looks very nice what's it had done to it? They didn't come with black frames (and wheels?) as standard did they...

Out of interest what is so different about it compared to the RR? The riding position? I would have thought a lot of other factors the RR would beat it on - handling, power, etc?

Stunning bike, congrats!

Always wanted one of these. Lots of memories from my high school years of watching Scott Russell and Anthony Gobert doing the business on ZX7s.

The frame and wheels arent black mate, they're the standard mercury grey colour. Must just be the photos??
Its got FULL Akrapovic system, Renthal sprockets, Renthal grips, Harris exhaust hanger, Goodridge braided lines, Carbon Harris hugger, Harris Carbon ram ducts, ignition advancer, cant remember what else??
I think the RR would Hump it in the acceleration, but for me, this is better in the bends!! Its just a confidence thing, i never felt overly confident on the RR for reasons that are beyond me!!! The front end on this thing is amazing!!! And the sound!!!!!!!!!!
This is ALOT comfier for me also. You sit 'in it' rather than 'on it' like the RR.

Ah, ok no it's me - don't know enough about ZX-7Rs I thought the frame (at least) was silver rather than black/dark grey...

[Farky]

I think they maybe were on the earlier ones mate, not too sure myself??

[YamR1V64motion]

nice bike, its funny that you think it handles better than an RR though, the RRs are generally considered to be one of the best handling bikes around and ive gotten on very well with both of mine, but everyones different, hope you enjoy the new bike and you definatly got it in the right colour

[pat_y]

ZX7-R models P1 to 3 were silver anodised alloy frame and swing arm, think the P4 P5's (99 - 2000) came anodised black frames and swingarm.
Black frames are cool!
Great choice by the way, deffo one one the best lookers Kawasaki have ever made.

[hiccy]

Love it m8.

[leeross]

mind get down at the wkd, a want another shot. minted mate

Yeah, i was thinking that myself mate about the RR. Dont get me wrong, it handled well, its just that for some reason i didnt have enough confidence in it. I'm a bit of a shortie and i was a bit tippy toes on the RR, so moving around town slowly i had no confidence, i found it a tall bike, even when on the move. The ZX7R on the other hand is alot lower and a hell of alot wider, makes me feel i'm sitting 'in it' rather than 'on it'. I feel the extra weight of the Kwak but i like that. Plus, the brakes are Awesome!!! The front end is certainly more planted, hence giving me the confidence.
