Emerging during the zenith of the sportbike era, the ZX-7 burst onto the scene. Manufacturers poured their utmost efforts into conquering the challenges of the AMA and World Superbikes. In the pivotal year of 1993, a completely revamped top end delivered a robust 118 hp from the 749cc four-cylinder engine. This power was harnessed through…
Homologation machines exist to go racing. Sometimes it is the street bike that makes the race bike possible. Sometimes the street bike is the actual privateer race bike. In almost all cases, homologation machines are collector items because by nature they are limited in numbers. And of those numbers, many of the supply have been…
Update 9.15.2020: This bike has SOLD!

That might sound like the stage name of an 80s glam rocker, and…
