MODEL SUMMARY.
Wow ! Not many like this one. Truly exceptional Kawasaki ZX-7R P4 in Lime Green, Pearl White and Ebony. 1999 T reg.
14900 miles with lots of paperwork and all it’s original books including the original service book, original owners’ manual, historical log books, a previous bill of sale and 2 keys with the spare unused with sheath and number tag still attached. Recently serviced. The previous bill of sale shows that the bike had covered just 2600 miles in December 2003 when sold to it’s 3rd owner and from that point onwards has virtually all old MOTs and a completely traceable mileage history. It is worth noting that the last owner but one retained possession for 12 years from 2006-2018
The mechanical specification of these bikes was quite impressive and included the high revving 748cc in line 4 DOHC 16v motor developing 122 bhp and fed by 4 x Keihin CVKD carburettors, fully adjustable 43mm diameter USD forks matched with fully adjustable piggy back reservoir rear shock, twin 320mm diameter front discs with 6 pot Tokico calipers, beautiful clear and concise traditional analogue clocks and strong and light aluminium twin spar frame
It all added up to a machine with a top speed of over 165mph and capable of the standing 1/4 mile in comfortably less than 11s
This particular bike is highly original and quite standard other than for a gorgeous full Leo Vince exhaust system which sounds utterly superb, a colour matched Pyramid seat cowl, Harris carbon fibre rear hugger, Harris crash bobbins and a tinted screen. Original exhaust can is also provided
It is in remarkably fine condition, quite lovely and totally fit and healthy. It looks wonderful in one of the less showy of the myriad of colour scheme variants that were offered on these bikes across the P1-P7 models
In common with many other carburettor fed ‘old skool’ high revving in line 4 superbikes, and even more so combined with the Leo Vince exhaust system, it sounds ever so sweet with a distinct induction roar from the airbox and a sublime rasp from the exhaust. It all adds to the sense of occasion of riding and enjoying bikes such as this
’90s Superbikes now have a distinct following, and are undoubtedly modern classics. The key, of course, is to find examples that have led charmed lives, with low mileage and number of owners, and which remain largely original and untouched from when they were supplied new. That is easier said than done, and in reality excludes probably around 95% of surviving bikes.
Bikes such as this particular example are little gems, and not to be confused with lesser, cheaper specimens. A very useable modern classic, it represents a genuinely rare opportunity, being not easily found, and should prove to be a good investment whilst providing much enjoyment and pride of ownership to it’s keeper
