Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Superbike Magazine have printed the results from the ZX7R survey this month (December issue) Pretty much dont bother it was a huge disapointment it went like this...
"The ZX7R looks bloody great but is a piece of crap that is slow and old and heavy and underpowerd and was never good in the first place, we love GSXR's and wanna give suzuki a big blow job blah blah blah, oh by the way it looks great."
I took a little creative license there but that was the general flow of it.

Also in Performance Bikes mag this month there is a feature of all the 2004 model Kawasaki road bikes all in one big road test together and the top 10 and worst 10 Kawasakis of all time, not a bad read.

That was always the opinion of the ZX7R from day one.

Dont worry about the bike jornos there for sale to the highest bidder and wont say bad things about their customers bikes.

They whern't all that harsh on the 7r just that its old and slow and people that own them generally love them....i supose that means they have something going for them or a whole lot depending if you want the opinion of a journo whos last pay check came from spewsuki or a rabid 7r owner.

That mag is a pretty good read as it goes.

Cheers for the heads up. Will save myself the $10.

And Suzuki won the world superbike title ....... when?
Oh well, I suppose everyone has the right to their own opinion....
Cheers,
Pete

and the zeph gets classed as a lemon , i know a few who would disagree .....its no sports bike but its fun to ride and deals with city traffic like its not there.....

and they shitcan the ZZR250 reckoning the Kwaka dropped it in 1990
huh???
and then they reckon the GPZ600 and GPX600 had the same engine
not here in OZ...

and the worst of all....
the GPz750 Turbo goes into the BEST OF bunch....
they have gotta be pharrkin' kidding.....
the example I had a had a lightswitch for a throttle
tyres that were too small for about 110hp
and shit suspension setuff
but hey...that was offset by a frame that moved more than
the suspension did, when you went around a corner...
and after a run, you had to sit and let it idle for at least 10 minutes
otherwise the Turbo seized up...
thank goodness Kwaka killed it with the GPz900
a much better bike

not a happy camper.....

cheers
