presentation of the 750 ZX-7 RR 1996

between the road version and the RR we're discovering here, only the single-seater seat will allow you to tell them apart. The ZX-7R already has a strong seductive power thanks to its very competitive look. With the RR, Kawasaki offers you a very tempting deal: 9 plates and you get a compé-client! Practically an invitation to the Superbike championship. Tempting, isn't it?

the RR makes a strong case for itself, and stands out from the standard in many respects. The hyper-square engine block is powered by 41 mm Keihin Racing carburetors instead of the standard 38 mm. The gearbox changes almost all its ratios: the first 2 have been lengthened and the last 3 shortened. The crown wheel gains a tooth to lengthen the final gear ratio. The crankshaft has been made heavier to increase inertia and improve re-acceleration. A few new, reinforced clutch discs have also been added to keep up; 135 hp are available in full, but the boiler can go much further. Another small cheque for 37,000 frs and you've got the Superbike engine kit to assemble, with the key to 150 grunts to race around the track.

thanks to this extra dose of watts, the face of the ZX-7 RR is transfigured. A sporty French version reveals a very homogeneous, precise bike, with a boiler that lacks a little consistency below 8,000 rpm, then climbs sharply to 13,500 rpm

On the ZX-7 RR "big watts", the joke's over: we're dealing with impressive potential. The boiler is rounder and friendlier in the mid-range, rises quickly in the revs and transforms the track session into "acceleration" mode. The needle takes off sharply up to 14,500 rpm, only to be halted either by the ignition switch or by a kick from the selector. The gearbox is excellent, but you won't have time to judge because the bike is already coming up to speed on the killer curve. It's high time to grab the brakes, which require a certain amount of grip in exchange for power and bite. The chassis copes perfectly and doesn't suffer from any unhealthy reactions. Normal, it was designed for it.

The frame is reinforced and lightened, allowing you to adjust the bike's geometry in all directions. Compared to the ZX-7R, a host of modifications : adjustable column angle and swingarm anchor points, shorter wheelbase, larger steering column diameter, improved fork with more adjustment options, different shock absorber with more adjustability.tokico calipers replaced by Nissin, lighter battery, and as it can't take a passenger, the rear frame has also been redesigned.

this Kawasaki ZX-7 RR is the stuff of many fantasies. If you're sure you want one, hurry up and order it, because the manufacturer has only planned 20 machines for France. Otherwise, watch it shine at the Bol or Laguna Seca.

Cesar Model 1996

Hello, I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I've had a ZX7RR for 10 years and it works very well, without any problems. 02/10/2026 05:20 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Cesar

Superfroog Model 1996

The last real 750 Kawa off the track. It has been my companion for almost 20 years, the fruit of a shared passion. A virile machine, it's more fun to ride than to ride on the road, a little tiring because of its riding position, but when you like it, you accept it, because it's a bike that rides well. I've just brought her little sister, a Ducati 748S, which is even more physical, and I'm looking for a Stinger to round off my favorites. 05/13/2017 21:08 Rating : 5/5 Respond to Superfroog

christomotard Model 1996

i've been riding a gsxr for more than ten years on 1100s and 1000s, and I'd say it behaves like a 1100 gsxr with much less torque. The zx7r is a real rail once you've chosen the trajectory, and it follows it with no bad reaction, despite the fact that it has no steering damper, even at high speed.i'd like to ask a question: what's the top speed for the 1996 zx7r in the French version (106hp) or free? I got up to 275 on the odometer and it was still in my hands. V à tous les motard (du 33) 07/15/2013 22:46 Rating : 4/5 Respond to christomotard

The funny thing is to compare it with a latest-generation Gex 750, for example, to see how it has evolved over the years... 11/18/2005 18:48 Rating : 5/5 Respond to simsim_des
