Buying a used zx7r

Postby tbadge » Thu Aug 20, 2009 2:32 pm

Hey Guys

I'm going to check out these bikes on the weekend:

http://bikesales.com.au/all-bikes/priva ... &silo=1400

and

http://bikesales.com.au/all-bikes/priva ... &silo=1400

So my question is what are the things I should look for on the ZX7's, have they got anything that usually goes wrong with them?

Thanks heaps
Terry

First one is not the original paint, & looks to be a real bitza.......The second one looks to be original & I seriously doubt that they change the oil every 2K :lol:

Hey Guys,

Had a look at the bikes on the weekend, the black one was rubbish and not worth the ride to Newcastle and the other sold before I got there so the search continues. Thinking about getting something else now as the ZX7R's seem to be to expensive for what they are. The good ones are totally overpriced IMO. :x :x

Common problems I've experienced, split coolant reservoir bottle and warped discs. Otherwise, no problems with the 2 I've had

I agree, they are overpriced for the performance they offer, but diminishing supply and constant demand keeping the prices high.. I saw a mint 03 go for $11K..

Good ones are hard to find; I'm hanging onto mine :)
