1992 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R Project

Click here for an CycleVIN Motorcycle History Report on this 1992 Kawasaki ZX-7R. Additional photos 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.

This example is VIN: JKAZXDK11NA007034. The seller acquired it as part of a collection of bikes in Orlando, Florida. He’s planning on restoring several but cannot restore them all, so this Kawasaki needs a new home.

The odometer shows 2,802 miles.

“It appears to be all there and correct, however I was told that it has sat since 2009 so it’s going to need to be gone through.

Modifications:

Tinted windshield.

Cosmetic Blemishes:
The seller notes “blemishes all around and a dent in the aluminum gas tank.”
