personaly i love its looks, looks like proper race bike, very tough and still looks modern IMO, they have a strong engine, instant power, u dont have to over rev it to get it going, overtaking is just a twist of the wrist, dont need to gear down, very good brakes, the handling is awesome, definately its biggest strength, the front end is very stable, through the twisties its very hard to beat,they are almost the perfect road bike, ive had a r1 and would take a 7r any day over it,was looking at a 98 zx9r they are good bikes too very fast, but i prefered the 7r seating position, more sporty, felt like a sportsbike, zx9r felt more sports touring, nothing wrong with them, and as for zx10rs, theyre awesome but i dont need to going 200kmh everytime i go for a ride

theyre just too crazy for me, i love the zx7r, just ask anyone who has owned one before, you really get attached to them, just my 2c

oh and seeing yanagawa gobert cragill ripping it up on 7rs got it going for me too
