Sometimes overshadowed by the GSX-R750 and a bit of an late arrival to the endurance-racer party in the late 1980’s, the Kawasaki ZXR-750 sold well, but few are around today, especially in such beautiful condition. The styling is very handsome, although it obviously helps if you’re a fan of Kawi’s lurid green paint… Powered by…
In the garage next to the previously posted Future Classic is this retired heavyweight world champ. For 1988-90 the fastest production motorcycle capable of 165 mph, the ZX-10 was the Kawasaki flagship between the 1984-2006 GPZ-900R “Top Gun” and the 1990-1995 ZX-11. 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…

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…
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. Sure, it may not be a limited edition, numbered Italian exotica rare enough to pull in…
