The Kawasaki ZR-7, alongside the ZR-7S, was a standard motorcycle manufactured by the Japanese maker Kawasaki and sold in the US from 1999 to 2003, while in other countries, it was sold until 2005.
Both models were powered by the same 738cc four-cylinder DOHC engine, and the significant differences between the two machines were represented by the S model's fairing, headlight, instrument cluster, and stiffer fork springs.
In the aesthetic department, the bike was fitted with standard features, such as a round headlight, a small front cowl with a small windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a four-into-one exhaust system with a silencer on the right side, a side stand, and three-spoke aluminum wheels.
Underneath its fuel tank, the 1999 Kawasaki ZR-7 had installed a 738cc four-stroke four-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine fed by four carburetors, delivering an output power of 76 hp at 9,500 rpm and 63 Nm (47 lb-ft) torque at 7,500 rpm.
The bike's engine was coupled to a five-speed manual transmission linked to the rear wheel through a final chain drive, pushing the motorcycle to a top speed of 212 kph (131 mph).
From top speed to a complete stop, the bike relied on two 300 mm discs tied to dual-piston calipers on the front wheel and a 240 mm disc coupled to a dual-piston caliper on the rear wheel, offering optimum stopping power.
