Description
Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
Introduced in 1989, the ZXR400 was one of the first and most popular of the 400 cubic centimeter sport bikes that swept across Japan (and later Europe) in the 1990s. The H model was produced first, and it was superseded by the L series in 1991. The L series had increased horsepower but less torque, and updated slimmer rear styling. The ZXR featured an impressive 14,500 rpm redline, which is a hint that the 398cc inline four needed to be worked hard to make speedy progress.
This 1994 ZXR400 made ~64 hp @ 13,000 rpm, with almost 27 lb-ft of torque. What’s more, it weighed in at 351lbs dry with a top speed approaching 140mph. It was a surprisingly capable all-around mount: reasonably comfortable for commuting or getting to the twisty bits, at which point you could enjoy great handling due to the small size and weight paired with quality components: upside down fork, Uni-trak rear suspension, and an aluminum chassis. Many reviewers felt that it delivered more performance than anything else in its category.
This example is VIN: ZX400L041793. It came to Iconic as an import from Japan.
The odometer shows 7,734 kilometers (4,805 miles).
