Kawasaki ZXR750 – 1994
Cadre n° ZX750J-009559

Les motos d'aspect course sont tellement répandues de nos jours qu'il est difficile d'imaginer qu'il fut un temps où elles étaient perçues comme inhabituelles, voire exotiques ; dans les années 1980, ce genre d'engin avait le don de surprendre. Lancée pour la saison 1989, la ZXR750 utilisait un moteur de GPX750 revu et installé dans un séduisant cadre en alliage dérivé de celui de la ZXR-7 d'endurance engagée par l'usine. Essentiellement destinée à la route, la ZXR750 n'avait rien à envier à la Honda RC30, bien plus chère ; le magazine Bike trouvait même que la Kawasaki accélérait plus fort et qu'elle avait une meilleure endurance sur le rapport de boîte supérieur. Une fois bien réglée sa suspension arrière trop raide, elle se comportait avec brio, sa suspension avant étant par ailleurs l'une des meilleures au monde.

La ZXR750 proposée, qui arbore la classique combinaison vert/blanc/bleu de la marque, celle qui est la plus recherchée pour ce modèle, affiche 43 585 km au compteur ; elle est munie d'un certificat de conformité émis par le constructeur et de ses documents d'immatriculation belges.



1994 Kawasaki ZXR750
Frame no. ZX750J-009559

Such is the predominance of the 'race replica' motorcycle today that it is hard to imagine a time when they were seen as unusual, even exotic, but back in the 1980s such machines had the power to amaze. Introduced for the 1989 season, the ZXR750 used a revamped GPX750 engine in a sexy-looking alloy chassis based on that of the ZXR-7 factory endurance racer. Much more practical as a road bike, the ZXR750 gave little away to Honda's considerably more expensive RC30, Bike magazine finding that the Kawasaki had better acceleration and a superior top gear roll-on. It also handled brilliantly once the over-hard rear suspension had been sorted, and had one of the best front ends around.

Finished in the marque's classic green/white/blue livery, the most sought after for this model, the ZXR750 offered here displays a total of 43,585km on the odometer and comes with a manufacturer's Certificate of Conformity and Belgian registration documents.
