NOW FOR SALE

This bike is almost like a new motorcycle.  Registered in 2003 - yes, now a few years old, but...  very little used, garaged most of its life, with only 6,800 genuine miles on the clock.   Nice clean condition, and runs well.   Dealer serviced.  Click the photo to enlarge & display properly - it's actually blue.

Actual bike pictured here - click on photo for clear detail in enlarged image.

This is a mild mannered 750cc standard motorcycle.  It has enough power, but it's not intimidating and is very easy to ride.  It's middleweight, produces about 76bhp and tops out about 125 - 130 mph I guess. Pulls the ton easy enough. 

It's a standard, workhorse motorcycle.

Very economical; 50-70mpg?  A great first "proper" bike, a 2nd bike perhaps, or commuter tool, or even a Winter Hack - although it's far too good for that really. 

You could even go touring on it.  Our man in Nicargua (Shaun Riddle), rode it to the TT in 2006.

I used it on my last "Best of Three" tour  to the Lake District, when my Fazer let me down.

I want £1550 or best offer.   Taxed & MOT'd to September 2009.

Phone me 0115 846 2993 or email.

THIS MUST GO.  I NEED THE GARAGE SPACE.  MAKE ME AN OFFER.

Road Test Kawasaki's sturdy and dependable 738cc ZR-7 may not be packed with cutting edge technology, but we think the softly tuned motor makes it a perfect first big bike. And a lot of people must agree with us, because this is one popular motorcycle. To keep the ZR-7 at the top end of the sales charts, Kawasaki sharpened up the venerable 750 with new bodywork for 2001. But the 738cc four-cylinder engine remains the same old lump that saw duty in the now discontinued Zephyr range. You can trace the two-valves-per-pot DOHC unit?s family tree right back to the GPz750 of 1983. At least you know you are buying one of the most reliable engines around, even if with only 76bhp on tap you're not going to light up the tarmac. The exhaust has been tuned for low to mid-range performance, but you'll still see 130mph on the clock. Like the engine, the frame is also classic Kawasaki, with double-cradle big-bore steel tubes for "stable" handling. The Uni-Track rear suspension has also been around for years. The rear shock is seven-way preload adjustable, with four-way rebound damping adjustment. Steering geometry is tilted towards the tourer, with 25.5 degrees of steering rake and a long, rigid swingarm. Practical features abound on the ZR-7 range, with grease nipples fitted to the swingarm bushings to prolong life and prevent seizure. The Kwak also comes with a centre stand as standard, making chain lubing and tyre changes much simpler. The ZR-7 might not be the most exciting bike on the road today, but that hasn't stopped it selling by the shedload. If you are after a comfortable easy-going all-rounder it's still a great buy.
