My favorite iteration of it is the 1993-1995 one, with those air intake tubes gone. In fact, I found those to be the only defect in earlier models. This bike together with the Suzuki GSX-R 750 (1990) are my fav old school bikes. I’m a big fan of the signature dual circular headlights design. Great review!
I'm with you there. The '93-'95 ZX-7 was a helluva race bike with the right mods and a good sport bike right out of the box. I had the '95 model. It just had beautiful lines with the rakish fairing , cavernous cooling vents, bulbous fuel tank and plump arse end complete with the slightly silly whale tail wing. Lol. Those big, bugeyed vintage looking round headlights seemed somewhat out of place on such a thoroughly modern machine but were my favorite design feature. Kinda like the round headlights on a Porsche 911 and the four round tail lights on a Corvette, it just looks RIGHT! THE "L" was a beautiful machine although the paint schemes were atrocious. NOTHING compares to the original diagonal stripes of the '89-'91 models. Those were gorgeous! My race bike paint scheme was the Kawasaki lime green front fender, upper fairing and fuel tank with a jagged forward sloped border with the all white fairing sides, belly pan and tail piece. All sponsor logos were in black copy on the white fairings and then there was a narrow purple/blue racing stripe down the side. Simple, clean and racy! Still one of the most beautiful machines made imo.
Cool video. I think the 1990 made more power than the 89 it got the kit parts from the race package. Also better cooling and a new swingarm. Love my 1994 L, the last version of the old bike in my mind. Awesome and fun. My favourite version personally. The homologated K, M and N models are skyrocketing in prices. Very expensive now
The 89 ZX7 was and is the best looking motorcycle ever made that green white blue an gold intake pipes had my 19 year old hart a pumpkin every time I saw one❤️
Iconic bike wanted one so bad was way out of my reach 😕 but later got a 929 blade, and rode it hard 🤪 we called it the fireplace was so comfortable and could tease slow rider's to push their limits still have respect and nostalgia for ZXR, a pioneering motorcycle respect 🤙 ❤️
I loved my '95 ZX-7 R-spec ! Imo it was an extremely capable RACE machine and with just a few tweaks here and there it was wholly competitive with the Suzuki GSXR and Ducati 916 race bikes. The ZX-7 offered one of the stiffest chassis ever and with suspension mods, LE front fork revalve and an Ohlins adjustable rear shock, factory Kawi Superbike kit linkages and complimentary chassis geometry setup, it was a formidable weapon on all but the tightest tracks. My bike made 105 BHP stock and with the Muzzy Superbike kit pistons, cams, valves, adjustable timing gear and full titanium exhaust along with Factory carb tuning , K&N filtercharger and a thousand tiny tweaks here and there.and running on Nu-tech special #4, 123 BHP was on tap. That was estimated to be 127 BHP with the benefit of ram-air induction at high speed. Add the factory Kawasaki Superbike kit black box ignition and Keihin flat slide carbs and 150 BHP was on tap. BUT......A LOT of maintenance was required for that kind of oomph! Along with the usual mods and weight saving measures, my Duc hunter dropped 65 lbs into the parts bin and was an absolute MISSILE around Road Atlanta, VIR and Savannah Raceway! 170 mph down Road As back straight would see all but the slickest non-factory Suzukis drafted past. A handful of wins and a bunch of podium finishes and even more top 10 finishes was made all the sweeter since I built that bike myself in my own garage and for less than $35,000 including spares. It spanked more than a few $150k factory support bikes.
I bought a terribly abused 1995 L3 in Brazil in 2015 cheap, as a project. I've spent the time since doing a last nut and bolt rebuild (everything apart from the starter clutch). For the past 6 or 7 years I've been running it on most weekends whilst I finalize the tuning and fault eradication. I know that this seems like a longwinded rebuild but it was really knackered ; It is now however an amazing bike, very fast and with a very racer like prone riding position. I warn future owners about buying one in similar condition (it is a very complex bike and needs some pretty informed mechanical input) a good workshop manual is absolutely essential (Clymer). Rebuilding this beast has however taught me SO much and really increased and honed my mechanical skills. I've spent hundreds of hours on it and loved almost every minute, but not nearly as much as just riding it, its pure adrenaline, a real monster of a bike with everything "manual" (no anti, dive/wheelie, ABS, nothing, it's all down to you!). It's also so satisfying when realising that I've done everything on the bike myself, I know her down to the last nut and bolt. (ps I did get a friend to re-bush the front forks, but that is it) and it's such a buzz when hitting 200kph plus with her (easy with this powerful engine). And to boot she's the greatest looker and everyone loves the Green colour and her classic lines, she definitely causes heads to turn down here, even at 28years on from her heyday. Most absorbing and definitely the best looking bike I've ever owned, these WILL become classics and good ones will demand high prices very, very soon.
I got a zxr 750 h1, a genuine rizzla one, Rare as hens teeth, had it since 1991, only got 6k miles on it, sends shivers down my back and makes my hairs stand up, when you rev it, absolute beauty my favourite and I’ve got some bikes too, and still get in my white , green, blue 90’s leathers!
I loved my J2 even more than I love my mrs, my kids and my dogs. If I could go back to open roads, out in the twisties and feeling like an absolute hero on my J2?? I would, without a second thought. I mean, who needs a mrs and kids and a couple of dogs when you can lose yourself in the twisties on a J2 ZXR750... IMO, the best bike ever!
The only thing that scares me is the water pump on the early H models. My mechanic said you can't buy them new anymore and they can't be rebuilt. J's and L's for me thanks.
i have a opportunity to buy a '95 zxr 750 amazing condition, all original apart from the sebring exhaust. excellent condition but 62k kilometers. do you have any tips for me because i can use some help. it cost 2950 euro.
KICKASS man, that was the first crotch rocket I rode. Boots& FVCKING shorts, wife beater shirt. There was no way I was gonna turn that offer down. 5'6 & 150 lbs. Probably looked like a little kid on it. Talk about wind therapy 👍
Thanks, but need more on how tos. Links anyone??? I have a 1989 750 zxr h1 and in need of small repairs/adjustments. The book is just horrible and waste of money. (EU or UK versions)
Rather ugly..H2? How very dare you.. it’s one of the best looking bikes ever, especially in green! 🤨😂 I have literally just bought an H2 today.. had 3 of them previously, my first one bought in ‘93! It will look good sitting next to my ‘98 GSXR750 SRAD 👍🏼
HadH2 loved the BOTTOMS of it,this is one GAY ride,i FUKIN SPANKED 150'S OUT OF IT OFTEN THEN GET A J1,BETTER HANDLINIG AND A BIT MORE POWER,BUT GREAT BIKES
The 89 - 90 version of this bike made me fall in love with sport bikes when I was young.
The limited-production '91-92 ZX-7R was a fantastic motorcycle, especially after tuning the suspension and carburetion.
i got mine brand new and even tho ive moved into a new bike ...i still keep and take care of my ZX7R.
hello my friend i have an kawasaki zxr 750 h1 how many kms for a oil change
Mines turbocharged !

Had an 1993 L and damn, what superbike aura that bike had. Rock steady and supersonic fast!

Legendary bike, dominated the AMA in the early 90's. Getting very hard to find a nice one at a good price.

Those bikes are cool I finally got one
nice video! thanks))) kawasaki always were faster than others)))
my first bike was gpz 400 1989, and it was the fastest 400cm bike in the city ))
Thanks for the amazing video! I proudly own a black&red model from 1990 🤩
I had a zx7r loved the ride
I am rebuilding a J2 model (with a K tail and ZX10 swingarm and rear rim), and I also own a P4, that runs awesome
Love the ZXR 750. I have an L1
The ZXR is rapidly becoming collectable, buy one now before prices go mental.
I sold my 1992 ZX7 because I was an idiot.

@@antoinclemons5273 Some parts are a bitch. I also have a 1990 H1 and have been looking for a couple of parts for nearly 18 months with no success.
I own ZXR750R K1.Love it.
The pool hoses on the tank looked so badass.
The 93 zxr750 k model or sp is sexy as hell. Didn't these where the most valiant against ducatis at time ? What an era😍
Hoover tried to sue Kawasaki,but it backfired with the sweetest stock exhaust since the KH250,plus it had proper suction!
Ça c’était une superbe machine j’en ai eu 2
I love it!
Iconic bike...i love it...
One has to note that the J versions have lower peak power output, but higher low end torque, which arguably improves street performance.
Best looking bike Eva!!!!
Where can I get the fairings and other parts for my 1986 model. It was in a fire and I need it repaired
ZXR750!!👌😍
I like the old model and there colours there like bike cameout from anime

Can you please tell us what is the soundtrack? thank you fren.
At some point I wanna get one and put in an old zx10r engine, upgrade suspension and wheels and keep it looking the same

Get yourself the Clymer manual.
Its "Z" x7r. Not "Zed" x7r. Geeez.
It's known around the world as a 'Zed' x7r not a "Zeee" x7r. Americans seem to bend and mangle the English language to suit.
In my country we pronounce 'z' as 'zack', so its zack x r we call 'em. Btw the J models is one of the prettiest bike for me.
