| Description: 
Kawasaki ZR-7S: What the powerful Kawasaki ZRX1200R is to muscle bikes,
the Kawasaki ZR-7S is to middleweight traditional motorcycles. But don't be fooled
by the "traditional" label. The ZR-7S is endowed with style, performance
characteristics and an affordable price. Simply put, the ZR-7S offers sport-touring
comfort in a bold, middleweight package.
The ZR-7S
gets its power from an air-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine and is tuned to
deliver plenty of mid-range power. Based on an evolution of a reliable and performance-oriented
design, this engine is also equipped with modern features such as the Kawasaki
Throttle Responsive Ignition Control (K-TRIC). By utilizing the Digital Ignition
system and a throttle-position sensor on the carburetors, K-TRIC varies timing
according to throttle position and engine rpm so the ignition compensates for
differing engine loads. The result is crisp throttle response and optimum fuel
efficiency. Stellar chassis performance comes by
way of a double-cradle tubular-steel frame that provides neutral handling over
a wide range of riding situations. Integrated tabs on the rear subframe provide
a mounting system for optional Kawasaki accessory hard bags. The rigid, box-section
swingarm actuates the Kawasaki UNI-TRAK® rear suspension system, which progressively
increases the damping and spring rates on the single rear shock as the suspension
is compressed for a smoother, more controlled ride. The
cockpit is protected by an attractive front fairing and comes complete with multi-reflector
headlight and an instrument panel borrowed from the NINJA® ZX-7R sportbike.
Upright seating and narrow handlebars with a low rise provide a roomy comfortable
riding position. Finally, a sleek tailpiece, sporty 5.8-gallon fuel tank, a four-into-one
stainless-steel exhaust system and lightweight cast alloy wheels give the ZR-7S
the perfect balance of sport and touring in a traditional package. -
Displacing 738cc, the Double Overhead Cam, 8-valve engine develops broad power
for a wide range of riding conditions. - The air-cooled engine features
a high capacity oil lubrication system: Efficient 7-row oil cooler and special
jets that squirt cooler oil to the undersides of the high-compression pistons.
- Kawasaki’s exclusive electronic K-TRIC throttle position sensor
for exceptionally smooth throttle response: The system adjusts the digital ignition
timing in relation to throttle position for crisp and clean engine response.
- The 4-into-1 polished stainless steel exhaust system adds performance and
modern style to the ZR-7S. - Kawasaki’s exclusive Positive Neutral
Finder makes finding neutral easy when the bike is stopped. - The advanced
aerodynamic design of the frame-mounted, half-fairing and windscreen delivers
the twin benefits of great wind protection and terrific styling. Multi-reflector
headlights produce a broad beam for clear night vision. - The analog
instrumentation houses a centrally positioned tachometer.
- Kawasaki The ZR-7, an attractive streetbike
with exciting performance and a great price. With an upright seating position
and an engine that delivers broad power, it quickly proved to be a versatile machine
that is comfortable commuting, briskly covering twisty back-country roads or even
extended trips. With the addition of a front cowling, attractive styling inspiring
engine, comfortable seating and affordable price, |
