Hi Dennis,

:welcome: to the community!

I love the look of the ZR-7S myself and would gladly add one to my garage. :D

But they seem to be a rare bike as even the dealerships here in Calgary don't stock one of the sales floor. Too bad as it is a great bike and a fine example of a mid-sized standard bike.

I have seen a few around town (1 million people) but never very often.

Do you have the blue, red or yellow one?

Feel free to add your Kawasaki ZR-7S to the Kawasaki Pics Gallery. :D

I've never heard of the ZR-7S, but I am rather new to motorcycling. Is it Kawasaki's version of the Bandit? I ask because I'm familiar with the Bandit and have ridden one before.

The quick search I did shows that the ZR-7S is an in-line four 738cc that puts out about 75bhp. My question is, why does it have about 25bhp less than my ZX-6E despite having a larger engine?

Great looking bike!

Thats a good question.. I wish I had an answer for you (25bhp issue). It is the Kawasaki's version of the Bandit yes. Its actually a little slower than the Bandit but obiviously with the larger engine has a bit more torque than the bandit. My friend rides a bandit and I believe my bike is slighly more nimble as well.

Kawasaki has changed the name to the 750-S. I think that was effective in 04' or 05' it is essentialy the same bike.

The Kawasaki ZR-7S.Was the last incarnation of the Z750.I think it was dropped from the UK range a few years ago.I beleive it was only sold in the states for a cuple of seasons.Now the states has the Z750S.I totaly different animal.But Canada still gets the ZR-7S however I think this is the last year.
