Description

Additional photos of this 1992 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7 are available here for your perusal.

The GPX750 of the late 1980’s was no slouch in terms of power, and it even won Cycle World’s award for best 750cc streetbike in 1987 and 1988. Still, Kawasaki saw potential with a new class of Ninja using the 16-valve liquid cooled inline four from the GPX and in 1989 launched what would become one of their most iconic models. The ZX-7 was a completely new bike with a perimeter style aluminum frame, adjustable suspension, 17″ wheels front and back and a tweaked 750cc engine putting out a solid 105 horsepower.

Unlike the rare homologation specials released by other Japanese manufactures, the ZX-7 was an affordable 750cc bike that was available to everyone – racers and street riders alike. The ZX-7 was a really good road bike right out of the crate, but with some special parts and a bit of work it could be made into a very competent race machine, and for many years the bike saw incredible success on the race track. 1990 saw significant revisions to the engine and bigger carbs bringing more power, and a new swingarm changed the wheel base.

1991 ushered in a freshly restyled J model ZX-7 with more engine improvements, an inverted 43mm front fork, lighter frame and the introduction of the limited K model that carried many special parts and a hefty price tag. The 1992 J model ZX-7 brought further refinement to the suspension.

This example is VIN: JKAZXDJ12NA021851. The owner acquired it six months ago as part of a package deal and is letting it go as he already has a 1992 K model.

The odometer shows 13,963 miles.

K model solo seat conversion. The original passenger seat and associated parts are included with the sale of the bike.
