The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R was a sports motorcycle manufactured by Kawasaki from 1989 until 2003, when it was replaced by the GPX750R model. The Japanese ZX-7R remained essentially unchanged over its production time.
In 1996, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki ZX-7RR, a sports machine that differed from the base model through several things, like the adjustable head-stock angle, a swingarm pivot, and increased adjustability for the suspension.
The suspension was 28-position compression and 13-position rebound-adjustable on the front and 14-position rebound-adjustable on the rear. It also had a solo cowl with a different subframe, larger flat carburetors, a close-ratio transmission as standard, a heavier crankshaft flywheel, and Nissin front brake calipers.
In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a single seat, a four-into-one exhaust system with a silencer on the right side, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.
The bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs coupled to six-piston calipers on the front and a 220 mm disc with a single-piston caliper on the rear, offering excellent stopping power.
As for the power figures, the 1996 Kawasaki ZX-7RR had its soul brought to life by a 748cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that delivered an output power of 122 hp at 12,000 rpm and 79 Nm (58 lb-ft) torque at 9,300 rpm.
