There are many myths, but at the same time many truths, about the history of motorcycles. Some theories say that Sylvester H.

Here are some curiosities you did not know about motorcycles.

- The ZXR looked the business and had all the right gizmos for a late-80s sports bike. Kawasaki sold boatloads. You don't see many in showrooms but there are plenty still around - normally in the hands of devoted owners. Actually, ZXR owners are fanatics and those with early H-models are the worst.
- Kawasaki used inverted forks starting in 1991, added ram air using a single tube, and in 1996, twin tube ram air and Tokico six piston brakes and fully adjustable suspension. From 1989 through 1995 in the US market, Kawasaki called the ZXR-750 and ZXR-750R the ZX-7 and ZX-7R respectively.

How are you all goin, Haven't been around for a while as I have been working on my bigbore zxr750 project. However hopefully soon be back on the 400's. In any case I was wondering what the best forum for zxr750's is with the most technical and modification based users. I have found heaps of forums full of tossers in the states ( no offence to anyone intended ) that do nothing except extending swingarms and putting fat tyres on. But not much like the old zxr750 boards that were around 10 years back. There is a good zxr750 link site but has no active participants nowdays. cheers
