Description

Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 1989 Kawasaki ZXR400 SP. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.

Due to licensing laws, Japan saw much more competition in the 400cc sportbike market compared to the US and Europe. Kawasaki’s entry was the popular ZXR400, and compared to the competition it was more of a race replica.

The 398cc four revs up to 14,500 rpm and produces 62 horsepower in the process – somehow enough to get this bike up to 140 miles per hour. It was said to be an excellent performer that just felt a little gutless under 8,000 rpm. For more on the ZXR400, check out this review on Visordown.

A limited “Sport Production” series was released only in Japan and it allowed Kawasaki to homologate a higher specification to make them more competitive in the Formula 3 race series. The ’89 SP, known as a J1, came with a lighter rear subframe, single seat, and close ratio gearbox.

This example is VIN: ZX400H300109. The seller purchased the bike in December 2023 from an enthusiast in Massachusetts.

During his ownership the seller has covered approximately 20 miles. The odometer shows 9,532 kilometers (5,922 miles).

Maintenance:
The seller states, “I just had the bike serviced. Oil change, brake flush, plugs, rebuild carbs, and sent rear shock off to be rebuilt. It runs perfect and functions as should.”

Modifications:
According to the seller the bike is stock.

Inside of the tank:

It is riding on Dunlop Sportmax tires with date codes of 0713 and 1613.

The sale includes two keys
