– 2003 Kawasaki ZR-7S

Don’t mess with tradition.

The striking ZR-7S has the same appeal but at a more affordable price and reduced dry weight. Its air-cooled 738cc DOHC In-Line Four engine offers terrific smoothness and response, while the two-up seating, half-fairing and available hard saddlebags make the ZR-7S as versatile as it is spirited. One trip through the gears — or along your favorite road — will convince you. Riding naked is good, clean fun.

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.

Features:

– 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.
