Good Points: Fast, fun, cheap and a classic!
Bad Points: Weight.
General comments: The Kawasaki ZX7R is a great bike, straight line top speed is nuts, mines been dyno'd and new exhaust system, with the help of this it goes well off the clock.....180+?

I have a 95 Kawasaki zx7r..what makes this bike great for me is what makes all bikes great the rider! This bike has extra weight and in the 3 years I've had it..not once have a caught a tank slap. It holds turns like you wouldnt believe. This bike with a little bit of work can not only keep up with 1000's of any kind but really put them in their place!

Kawasaki knew what they were doing when they built this bike. Bike is very stable, well balanced. Loads of torque a definite plus. The engine is reliable and strong. Wide research on the bike provides owners with endless information on modifications and upgrades. Did I say the bike is stable, thats an under statement its a rock the thing just doesn't shift or twitch in corners. Best bike built. It is the flagship for all modern sport bikes. This bike has definitely stood the test of time continu ...

Well I was restricted to a 33bhp bike for two years (gsx250) and made the jump to the zx7r. A bit wary to start with due to the bigest bike I ever had riden tock it easy for a little while and now its brilliant and really grate fun. Haven't had any worrying moments what so ever. As for biuld quallity it brill.

Superb looking bike..especially in the black red and cream white. The Kawasaki green is just too common for these bikes.

Excellent handling. Smooth power and good torque. Come out of a courner in wrong gear...no drama...just open the throttle.
Great all-round sports bike that after all this time still can cut it with the newer bikes.
Kawasaki did not change the ZX7R though the years cos it didnt need it! Bring on the summer.

A not well experienced rider owned this bike before me. It was lowered misjetted, and had been down. It had a Muzzy, and the wrong jet kit. But I still new it had potential. I had owned (since new) a 1987 Ninja 750, loved that bike. This trashes that as far as handling and power. But yeah its heavy. So I installed a 05 ZX6R entire front end including the wheel. Absolute bolt on, and the same year bike swing arm wheel and shock. The bike weighs 387lb. And really feels like it. My buddies 06 ZX10R ...

Just bought a black 1997 Kawasaki ZX7 P2 off eBay, 22k miles, vgc - only £1400. Real bargain for such a bike. My last bike was a Suzuki TL1000r that was blindingly fast and scared me - it really was out of my league even with over 20 yrs riding experience. The ZX7 definitely suits me and my riding style - I can take it to its performance limits and I don't feel out of my depth. It feels big, sounds big and is surprisingly comfortable when you're riding it.
Definitely a sports tourer and un ...

Very stable in cornering with loads more torque than a 600, if you don't want to scream your bikes head off all the time move from the 600's of this world and get a 750! My brother has a ZX636r and my ZX7 will outgun it in a straight line but gets battered by his light weight everywhere else. Still a very capable bike even now!

Solid built first big bike, couldn't fault it. I got mine, a 1996 P1, off of ebay for £1500 and its a stable plantted front end that inspires loads of confidence and can still mix it with the big boys. Am loving it to the max.

A modern classic, bulletproof engine, addictive exhaust note, awesome confidence inspiring front end, a lot of bang for your buck, shame your mates, whose bike cost 3 times as much and with half as much power again!

I got a 1997 Kawasaki ZX7R P2 model off eBay for £2000, 13000 miles on the clock and full service history. It has a full Yoshi system, has been dynojetted and has a K&N filter. It goes like a dream everywhere, it's not the quickest or the best handling but it feels so planted and stable that I will take on modern sports bikes with confidence. Only bought it because every time I saw one it was on its back wheel with some 'hooligan' at the helm. I am now that 'hooligan' too - aged 36!

I got my Kawasaki ZX7R a month ago, I just had to have it, and for 2600 Euros. It is in very good condition, and the carbon exhaust sounds great. What can I tell you, I am now a ninja addict, and I would recommend it to anyone.

My very first motorcycle was a 1995 ZX7. First time I rode it I knew I had to have it. The handling was what sold me and the seating was actually more comfortable then my 2001 ZX7R. With my 1995 ZX7 I knew the motorcycle was just an amazing motorcycle that's why I went out and bought a second and newer ZX7R, a 2001. The great thing with the ZX7R is that, it's quick enough to keep up with 600s (maybe even quicker) around corners and fast enough to keep up with 1000s on the straights. I would say ...

The Kawasaki ZX7R is all in all a lovely bike, although mine has various running problems, all down to incorrectly and unbalanced carbs. It is still a pleasure to ride, I find on a long journey my wrists and back begin to ache, but this maybe due to the fact I don't get time to ride much.
Also I overshot a corner and went into a field, bike amazingly didn't suffer to much damage to the fairing.
I would recommend this bike to anyone.
