Every time I see a big Kawasaki Zed up for sale I get a flashback to the scene in Spaceballs where they go to Ludicrous Speed. Known as the ZX11 Ninja in the states but the ZZR1100 pretty much everywhere else, the big Zed was a “hyper-tourer”, a battle tank of a machine with…
To go along with the 1993 Ducati Superlight posted earlier this week, here is a 1993 Kawasaki Ninja ZX7 located in central Texas. The fashion/color schemes from the early 90’s seem to be back in vogue, with people again wearing clothes with almost fluorescent level green, pink and blue hues. Early 1990’s sportbikes bikes were…
Not particularly rare, but always striking and always coveted, the Kawasaki ZX-7 defined the early 1990s. Today, a well-preserved example is respected as a capable sporting machine with lines and style that seem to defy the passing of time.

Just a quick post this time. This is a 1989 Kawasaki ZX7 Ninja H1. This is the 2nd generation of Kawasaski 750cc ZX/Ninja bikes and the slightly hotted-up version of these (the 750R) would be used as the basis for the bikes ridden by Scott Russell in 1990 to win hat won the AMA 750…
With recognition to the great Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls, I guess I should confess that I feel like I am starting to feel a bit old. Maybe this is because it seems like every few years or so a story is published titled something like “20 things young people dont know about” which…
