2fat2fly Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I picked this up yesterday. It's a 1993 ZX7R (M1). I had to drive North of Oshkosh,Wisconsin to get it but it was worth the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2fat2fly Posted August 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Somebody has an old zx7 fetish. I'd like to argue with you, but I can't. You're right.I bought this particular one because of what it is and everything that came with it.This is a former AMA Superbike (Privateer). It was raced by Ricky Orlando in the 90's in AMA, WSB at Laguna Seca and the Macau Grand Prix. The bike came with all parts ever acquired for it during it's racing career. Spare engine,Exhausts,Rims,Kit racing parts, etc....including the race bodywork. For what it is I got a smoking deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donkason Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I would have pulled out the seats in the truck and let the bike ride upfront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cOoTeR Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 There's a weird following of the old school ninjas out here. Seems to be growing into the next motorcycle trend like cafe racers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e-flores Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Very nice, I'm not usually drawn to early 90's sportbikes but that thing is sweet and an awesome race history and background story. Great find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YSR_Racer_99 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I'm envious. I've always loved the ZX7s. I agonized for weeks between a 93 ZX7 and the 93 GSXR750. This was "back in '93", BTW. Ended up buying the Suzuki in the royal purple color. It would still be a tough choice between the two today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
