The last Kwak to use the redoubtable 650/750 air-cooled engine, a victim of ever-stricter emission laws and a public wanting ever-lighter and even faster bikes. A great middleweight tourer/general purpose bike which offers total reliability, easy servicing, relative economy and plentiful spares. The comparatively soft-tuned engine may "only" put out around 80bhp, but it's usable and accessible from way down the rev range. When the boy racers on their super-tuned 600 cc missiles have to change down 3 or 4 gears and put 10,000 rpm on the clock to go (great fun in the wet....) you just wind it open from 3,000, feel the front end lift, watch the speedo needle start to sweep upwards- and smile. Fit a front mudguard extension to keep the downpipes and crankcases free of grot, and a rear hugger to do the same for the back end, and that's about it. O.k your passenger will slide around a bit under braking, and it could really do with a 6th gear if you do a lot of high-speed or motorway work, but neither of these apply to me.
The ZR7 was never meant to be a mega-b.h.p ultra high revving boy racer; be realistic in what you ask of it, and it will do everything you ask, solidly and reliably and without fuss or drama every single time.
