2002 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R Motorcycle reviews

The bike is my first sportbike. I have raced dirt for 5 years though. I find this bike awesome in the turns compared to my friends' Gixxers, CBR's, and one Busa. The speeds are pretty good on it. No 600 will ever beat you unless you can't drive. A new '04 ZX6R which is the fastest 6 out there that is piped, filtered and commanded will run with it stock, but not after a pipe filter or jet kit. The bike's weight is up there in comparison to the other 750's and newer 1000's, but I like it. My bike is lowered 2 inches, but I can launch hard and out of turns without wheelieing to an uncontrollable point like on a 1000. The big 190 rear helps a lot compared to the 180 on a Gixxer. My bike with just a pipe keeps up with a full yosh exhaust without and packing in the muffler, a bmc race filter and a commander that set the ignition 5 degrees advanced and has the fuel tuned on a '02 Gixxer 750. It's all rider with me. I did finally get my bike filtered K&N, new D&D pipe bolt on, and Factory Jetted. and Dyno tuned for 168 MPH and 112 HP at the rear wheel. Now it wheelies harder and accelerates faster. My bike has no problem at 145+mph. Lastly once you hit about 120 the Gixxer will pull away slowly, but if you rev up to 11K before you shift if they shift earlier you will stay bar to bar. haven't tried with the jet kit or filter yet, but will soon.

Not the most modern, and a little heavy, but VERY stable. I've never had a hint of a tank slapper (like my old "95" 750 Ninja would occasionally hand out when exiting corners hard). Great mid-upper range power. It's a little short on low end grunt, but that's what I expected from a 3/4 liter inline 4. Ultra reliable and it should be, it's been around long enough for Kaw to have worked out any bugs. I'm 6'1" and it has good ergos for a tall guy. Overall- very good bike for a good price. Show less
