Additional photos of this crated Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R are available here for your perusal.
The “K” model of the ZX-7R, built between 91-92, was a homologation special built in limited numbers so Kawi could go racing in AMA Superbike.
For that extra dough you got a whole bunch of goodies, including 120 horsepower from a tweaked engine, close-ratio six speed transmission, Keihin 39mm flat slide carbs, aluminum (versus steel) tank, lighter subframe with a solo seat/fiberglass tail, and fully adjustable suspension with a remote reservoir rear shock.
The extra power came from a higher redline (+500rpm), higher compression, and larger cams, plus the bike weighed 10 pounds less. It may look rather similar to the standard J model ZX-7, but it was happier on the track than the street thanks to the above changes and a very tall first gear. In a 1992 test, Performance Bikes magazine got 110 horsepower at the rear wheel (Kawasaki claimed 120 at the crank) and hit 158.5 miles per hour – all while returning 41 average miles per gallon.
Fun fact: you can tell if the fairings are proper K model panels when you see the supplemental hole on the right side – that’s to adjust the flatslides. Regular J models had CV carbs and no adjustment hole.
This example (VIN: JKAZXDK13NA007410) represents an incredibly rare opportunity to acquire a 1-owner ZX-7R that’s never been taken out of the crate.
The odometer shows 0.6 miles.
Modifications:
This motorcycle is completely stock. The seat cowl was not installed on the bike for shipping, it is included in a separate box.
Several other parts are included separately, such as the levers, original battery acid, and front fender.
The original tool kit is in the tail.
Cosmetic Blemishes:
We do not believe that there are any blemishes of note, however some of it is still in the plastic packaging and have not been able to closely inspect it. Please see the album up top for additional photos to evaluate the condition for yourself.
There is a faint white line on the right lower fairing – this is a spiderweb and not a scratch.
The sale includes a Lockhart Racing/Ninja-branded clock.
Currently located at our facility in Santa Monica, California (please make an appointment for an inspection), this Kawasaki is offered on a Bill of Sale only. Iconic’s White Glove Service can source an Oregon title for the buyer – it would cost $1,000 and take roughly 6 months. Have any ZX-7R stories or questions about this listing?
