03:38 Looks like a movie scene in which you have put out the fire and now running away from the police 😂

My first big bike 11years ago was a ZX7R P2 bought for my 21st birthday. I've looked at the prices they go for since I first bought it. Im now 32 and still own her and with how underrated they are I don't think I'll ever get rid ! Medical reasons forced me to take my driving lessons and get 4 wheels as my daily mode of transport which has honestly left me wanting to drain her dry and bring her in as a centre piece of my lounge. If she had an extra "R" she'd have already been in here long long ago. As a 90s kid I remember seeing one of them for the first time and telling myself "one day I'll have one" . Personally I think they're one of the top 3 bikes ever made. The looks, the front heavy handling which keeps them planted and the sheer size/width which doesn't make us taller riders feel like we're riding a mini moto ! She's my pride and joy that takes me back to that wide eyed kid lusting after the green beast. Great video guys, it definitely gained a sub from me 💚

1997 ZX7-R was my first bike! exact color as this too. Absolutely loved it. The induction sound was out of this world!

meanwhile me living in europe being forced to start on a 125 4 stroke

Owned a standard zx7r (back when you could do a 33bhp restriction) from when I was 18 years old had it for three years and rode it all over and did a euro trip, learned to wheelie, chase more powerful machinery on it and basic maintenance and servicing. The thing was an absolute tank but was such an involving ride. I used to love the tear drop headlights and air intakes, it was such a beautiful thing. Muscling it round was so rewarding. I wouldn't go back to one as I think now I would find it disappointing but watching you ride the RR on the very same roads I used to ride mine on just brought back a flood of nostalgia. Enjoying this series, keep them coming 👍

ZX7-RR and the RC45 both had pride of place on my bedroom walls as a teenager. I now own a ZX12R that was my other poster bike as a teenager 🙂

If the Joker had a bike it would probably be this one.

Akira Yanagawa at Sugo was really slinging his 7r around fighting with Haga. One of my earliest memories, I've had mine for 23 years now.

You're spot on on with your closing comments. Just look at the air intakes on this thing. It looks like it could inhale a small animal! That was why I bought one in 1997.

The looks, the sound, the season, the power, the pedigree. My God. Perfection.

Everything is spot on except power i mean lack of it

I have a near-mint 2000 ZX-9R that is an absolute blast to ride. I'd love to add a ZX-7RR to the collection - there's something unique about the sound and performance of the carburetored Ninja sport bikes. And tons of character....

I had a ZXR750J2 back in 1996. It was the bike that got me back into bikes after a long lay off, wife, house, kids etc. It was a brilliant forerunner to the ZX7R. As I write this we’re having an extension built with a part new kitchen. Thanks Chris 😂 (P.S. Thank God for my KTM in the garage!)

Thanks Chris for putting ideas into my head……just need to explain things to my Wife now?

This bike adorned my bedroom walls, thank you Chris for reviewing this. Loved every second of it, and my gosh does it sound heavenly. Amongst all the classics you've reviewed, this bike is by far my favorite. Looking forward to the next one.

It also got a close ratio gearbox and a different sprocket ratio compared to the normal zx-7r

I had a ZX7R back in the early 2000's in exactly the same colours. I loved that bike!

As a previous owner of multiple zx7r and also I have worked on the zx7rr engine, it also has a removable crankshaft (chain) sprocket to allow the kit gear driven sprocket. The Subframe is different to the 7r however they are both Aluminium alloy. I believe there was around 1500 units made based on the VIN however I am not certain. 500 units was the minimum I believe for homologation

I keep on watching it. Such a great review of a legendary bike. Keep in doing videos like this! Greetings from Italy from a P4 owner

Thanks for watching!

That Ninja is beautiful. In 2014 I had not been on a bike in 23 years so when deciding to start riding again I bought what I lusted after but could not afford in 1991. A pristine 4,002 mile 1989 Yamaha FZR1000. I even found a period correct Vance & Hines slip on exhaust. Its all nostalgia for me. I would love to get my hands on a 1986 Suzuki GSXR1100 next.

One of the prettiest bikes ever made, iconic.

Howzit guys, great show as always. I am a huge Kawasaki fan and absolutely love the 90's superbikes. I had the privilege to see 2 of these zx7rr's and one was imported from the UK. Cheers and thank you for this upload.

Anthony Gobert on a ZX7RR at Phillip Island. Magic!!

Just relieved 19years ago when I had one, was the only one in Ireland had been imported when I got the chance to buy it, sold it couple of years later and bought a new 2007 zx10r at the time and regret ever letting it go, to me it’s sound was fantastic and is still one of the best looking bikes ever built.

Brilliant channel, I love the old bikes. Just watched the Rd 250 one, the first bike I was on as a passager, still remember the feeling

Great review. Must say Chris really knows how to review a bike, love his terminology and insight 😃😃

Love it! A pity the 750 class disappeared. Feel that this class was the sweetspot for meer mortals roadriders. Great video.

That fire in the background... great shot guys.

Always love that bike, and the GSXR750!

There was something very special about that era of bikes. They were genuine road bikes which you could use that the factory then pushed a little more with each special model. After that age it was all track bikes with numberplates or really toned down road stuff. The change seemed to be somewhere around the first GSXR1000 for big bikes and the underseat CBR600RR for midleweights. Since then this kind of do it all bike which is semi-serious seems to have vanished.

Love this series

Fantastic bike and awesome review

Back in the day, 2000/01, a co-worker of mine at a prominent motorcycle dealership in Calgary, acquired a RR that won a Canadian Superbike championship. I think the rules at the time really leaned towards an almost "open" class as I remember the had a nutters big bore kit, around 930ish? ccs, and a set of oversized flat slide carbs. Anyway he rounded up all the needed kit to make it street legal again and had done up in Kawi WSBK livery, full Akra exhaust. It was the TITs!

I still own my 1990 H2 that I bought new and it’s mint. Always love your vids and anything 90s sportbikes. Thanks

ZX7R, such fun to throw around. Stand up under power, stands up easily on the front brake, crazy thing, fun, fun, fun. Not bad around a proper track either.

Back to the good stuff A breath of fresh air amongst Dreary parallels

How great does that sound and look, fantastic era

I was waiting for this bike!!! This is still and will always be my dream bike💖

My first sports bike was a zx7 (all be it not the RR) , forget the stats on paper SRAD 750 at the time had it sewn up. These are all for the looks, noise & stability really enjoyed mine & was very reliable. Such an honest review , great work 👍

Nice presentation Of my favorite motorcycle thanks M8 😊 🎉

Another groovy ride🤓🤙

Great video Chris. I have a 98 TL1000S, wow what a bike to ride. 90s bikes were so cool. I also have a 98 ZX-9R Ninja....only 20k on the clock, original titanium exhaust....that bike is still seriously fast. If you'd like to review it just let me know. 0-60 3 secs, 175mph flat out, and reportedly did the first sub 10 second quarter mile for a production bike.

They sound great!

Beautiful The Bike also sounds just great. Want One! 🤩

That's why they did so well at the classic TT or Manx GP,,used to have a zxr750k an ex British sabre airways,, sold it as it had a blown up zx9r motor for road racing here in northern Ireland,, loads of mods 🥺 like most should have kept it ,,☘️☘️☘️☘️☘️

What a fun bike!! Collectible too.

thanks for videos like this

Could not have said it better myself. Those older bikes had so much character. The 1994 model ZX 7 in racing green was the bomb

Spot on!

Beautiful green and mean ❤

This is awesome amazing i love it ! ! ! ! ! ! magic superb ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Remember my own standard 7R - what a great and underrated sports bike. Slightly heavier than the opposition as I recall but….that weight allied to brilliant chassis gave superb stability. The sound was like no other; a pissed off Bengal tiger, would be suitable comparison. Wanted g to be RR but was always beaten to the chance and had too many in the stable anyway. Look back with fond memories at an underrated, underpriced classic 90s sports bike. Thanks for the video.

That does sound fabulous.

So much emotions in this bike

Great video content always watching here from Philippines 🇵🇭👋😃 Solid fan here

you cannot beat the sound of a 90's carbed kawasaki sportsbike

Good stuff!

Beautiful. Those Keihin FCRs just make the difference

This bike got me into bikes…….. Love the red 964 in the background !! ❤

The quintessential Ninja RR.. I have it’s lowly older brother, a 1990 ZXR750 H2.. in of course, green/white/blue 😊

I had one. loved that bike I wore it out.

Awesome 👏

LOVELY !!

What a bike that is, still beautiful.

I will now call you brother!🍻cheers from over here.

I sold my 1996 ZX7RR(N1) and bought it back 15 years later. It is still in my garage today.

I have the previous gen bike the GPX750r, its motor went into the ZX7, sounds identical, cool they put flat slides in there, apparently the carbs were a lot easier to remove on that one, so hard on the GPX!

Great job guys. Hey could you do a review on a Triumph Daytona 955i (2002). I’ve had one for years now and it still puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. Cheers

Love these old school sportsbikes. Own a 1994 GSX-R 750.

At 3:40s I was weak at the knees. Evocative RR with those lights, rolling left over the crest and a background from terminator. That, is how you make a bike film.

yeah! god save de 90! jejeje! that 7RR its the vanila ice movie bike? what and era! that its realy a dream bike!

Liked before I watched it 😊. Mine is a red-purple single R…

One thing comes to mind when I see one of these Kwaka's and that's Anthony Gobert this bike was built for him, bloody awesome rider and a bloody beautiful bike

Those are a bike that still looks good today.

These dream rides videos are gold! Growing up in the 90s and reading about these bikes was awesome but the videos add to that experience from a different perspective. Now, you got the Blade and the R1 in a previous video, the Ninja in this one.... but isn't there a certain 4th player missing from your collection?

One of my dream garage bikes, RD350A ZX7RR, 996R, S1000RR, R1M

Now if only Kawasaki would put the H2 motor into something looking as good as the ZX7RR

Love these episodes. Can you do some RD yamahas please
