IN my day I've had a total of four of Kawi's older 750... a 92 ZX-7RR, a 94, a 98 and a 99 ZX-7R.....
they were great bikes... But by comparison they became outdated... the 600 class was dropping weight like mad.. and Suziki did a redesign on the middle weight gsxr in the late 90's, the kawi never got the upgrade. the last year they made it was in '03 but it was littlerally an IDENTICAL bike to the '96 model. Heavy, carbureted rather than FI... they dropped it because of sales.. but the sales slipped because they failed to upgrade it to match the performance of the Suzuki. There have been rumors floating around for a few years now that they were planning to re-enter the middleweight class with a ZX8R, but they're just that... rumors... |

I could easily see some BS laws coming out against liter bikes. So a ZX-8R could score some pretty good sales. Insurance would be lower too.
Stretch it out a little bit, make the bars low and far away like the original, make it look like the 10R from the side but give it its own upper fairing and no stupid turn-signal stalks.....Done. Last edited by Homeslice; 03-26-2009 at 07:51 PM.. |

No more than any other bike. There are far less 750 on the road than 600's and I saw a lot more percentage of douchebags riding 600's than 750's. Around here anyway, most of the 750 riders are older more seasoned riders. The squids will usually pass the 750 and go straight to the liter bikes.

Jason Britton is on a ZX6R, NOT the 636. He just switched last year.
