Those little condenser mics do it no favours,it sounds like a bag of spanners.

Zero miles ZX7-RR
Not a normal ZX7, but the WSBK homologation special.
Bit spendy tho'

and I'd still rather an RC45... even if it had 30k on the clock.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
0 miles and never been started, which basically means it never WILL be started and will live out its life in a glass case. You might as well buy a lego oneKungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 9:41 pm Zero miles ZX7-RR

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It's nice, but you'd have to really really really like zx7s to spend that!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
True. It wasn't very good in the day. I had 2 pals sell them coz the rear shock was shite. But it was a bike that somehow built up a cult following .Maybe the folk who bought a shit bike trying to keep the prices up ?

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It's not a standard ZX7 tho.
It's the RR, from the factory it had flat slide carbs, an adjustable swingarm pivot and headstock, close ratio gearbox, single seat, special paint job and lots of other special tweaks.
It was the equivalent of an RC45/R7/916SPS in the Superbike Homologation stakes. So it is a special bike, I'm not sure it's 40k special.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I get all that..but you're paying 40k to look at it, as soon as you start it up you wipe thousands off the value.
Its only worth now is as a display item. Either that or accept the fact you'll lose your 40k.

Or another £20k would buy you a 0 mile Yamaha r7 from the same seller.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Feb 05, 2021 9:41 pm Zero miles ZX7-RR

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I've been to the shop, I was going to buy the wife a CB500X, they didn't have one on the shop floor, but the sales guy said they'd just had a delivery and there were some in a non-descript unit they owned over the road.
He took us over to look at the CB500, but they unit was full of rare and exotic stuff, quite a few of those rare GSXR750 homologation specials, a few Bimota's, R7s, RC30/45's, OWO1, etc.. I think they just drip feed them into the market to keep up demand.
