The zx7r is an awesome bike to ride......
Once you've jacked up the rear ride height and dropped the forks a bit, before doing that it can be a bit of a tank to manhandle round the corners. I love mine, there's a zx636 and an older zx6r in the garage with it and it's the zx7r that gives me the biggest grin! It's an iconic bike in my opinion and well worth getting. Oh, by the way.....£75 FC for the year for me on mine ![]() ![]() |

+1 On what BC just said! Love riding the 7 but it's not quite as flickable as the 6 as standard, it is a heavy lump but great fun to ride.

Not ridden either of that age, newer R6 I tried wasn't my cup of tea. Tried a ZXR750 though and it was a right laugh, they've got an evil howl to them and pretty useable low down too.
R6 vs 7R no contest, no replacement for displacement.
