don't laugh, I picked up the 12 brand new last year, for *cheaper* than a new gixxer 600
The magazine reports and test-rides at the time always rated the ZX7R as having one of the best front-ends in the business. Full stop. It was always raved about.......

Damn fine point that.
Has anyone here actually lost the front of their 7?

Still is mate even amongst the current crop of sportsbikes. Doesn't have the outright top end of a litre bike but with the right rider aboard can match it with anything in the twisties/sweepers etc.
Having the lastest & greatest doesn't mean shit if you can't ride it! There is a great satisfication in rounding up much bigger & newer bikes on an outdated overweight underpowered bike.
As a road bike they are not really underpowered nor overweight in my opinion. from the klms I have done on one, they were pretty damn hard to fault. The only criticism I had, was that they pushed the front a little too early. But a rear ride height adjustment cures that in about ten minutes I still lurve riding them.

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

I agree strika. Just quoting what i have read in numerous reviews over the years plus the bagging they get from people that don't understand how great kawasaki's are!!
