Tagging along with the CBR-900RR of 1992, Kawasaki developed a bike to bridge the gap between the 750cc sportbikes and the 1100cc sport-touring machines. Offered in the green, white, and blue of Kawasaki’s racers, it was also available in maroon or smoke subdued paint schemes. 1994 Kawasaki ZX-9R for sale on eBay More than a…
The revolutionary early Ninja’s combined many improvements with the result being the first street cycle capable of 150mph. Not the first inline 4, or with 4 valves per cylinder, or water cooled, but the first to combine these in a production engine.

This isn’t something we’d normally feature here on RSBFS, but given the effort that went into this restomod Kawasaki Z1 and the performance that’s likely on tap, it seemed like a fun bike to share. Keep in mind: “musclebike” and “sportbike” are general terms at best, not a specific category of motorcycle. And remember, they…

Updates from the GPZ-900R include semi-downdraft carburetors and 11:1 compression. 137 hp and…
I seem to be on a 900cc theme lately; earlier this week it was the Suzuki RF900, now its a lovely 2002 Kawasaki ZX9R. Back in the early 1990’s, the 750cc class was the configuration that was closest to the bikes being raced in WSB/Motogp. Bikes like the ZX-750R and GSX-750R came equipped with technology…

2001 Kawasaki ZX7R on Craigslist One thing you have to say about the Kawasaki ZX7R- its got a distinctive look. When it was launched reviewers took a look at the front fairing and stated things like “looks like it has the mumps”..”did it get its wisdom teeth out?”…and one of my all time favorites “front…
