Part of the Ninja family of sports bikes - is proof that a motorcycle doesn’t have to be the latest, lightest and most powerful to be popular.
People love and bought the Kawasaki ZX-7R because it looked great and they’re a decent road bike if not a match for the competition on the track.
The Kawasaki ZX-7R is very heavy compared to its rivals, but it's stable and works nicely on the road. The Kawasaki ZX-7R's front end is incredibly precise and communicative – you wouldn’t know what the wheel was doing any better if you were gripping the spindle. Raising the rear ride height and fitting tires with sharp profiles will speed up the Kawasaki ZX-7R's otherwise slow steering. Brakes strong unless neglected.
