Kawasaki ZXR750 J £900 ono - SV650.org

Well, my ZXR is finished. I had it MOT'd about 3 weeks ago, it passed, but I just don't find it comfortable at all to ride.
I've done about 3 miles on it since rebuilding it & it's now sat in my yard rusting away.
I have spent a lot of money & hours & hours of time on this bike. I think it looks ace, but it's not there to be looked at, it's made to be ridden.
There are 55000 miles on the clock, but it starts 1st time, every time & the engine feels strong. Sprayed in Triumph Roulette green. Lots of new parts including Ignition, footpegs, rocker cover gasket, chain & sprocket kit.
Also i fitted a ZX7R Rear shock & linkage as the original was rusted. It's not perfect, but for a 1992 bike, it's in good knick.

That looks amazing, brilliant job on the rebuild. If only I had:
A. the money,
B. the space, and
C. the Mrs wouldn't kill me if I bought another bike. lol

Is it uncomfortable for tall people? I.e 6' 3"

mister c · 12-02-16, 02:00 PM

I'm 5'9", but am on the portly side. I found that trying to look forward was a bit of a problem, plus I felt as though my feet were up my backside lol. Don't know how a taller rider would fair
