As sexy as modern bikes look, they'll seem outdated in five to ten years in terms of looks, performance, and features. And while the ZX7 may not be a competitive sports bike by today's standards it has the established legacy and pedigree that makes it a classic; a basic formula block that superbikes are built from:
Low to the ground, twin ram air ducts, usd forks. The ZX7 looks like instead of slicing through the air, it plows through it. I'm really leaning towards it now.... especially since I managed to find a clean one. Problem is, its not green
I'll admit the shiny new ZX6 draws my attention. But simply because its brand new, easier to maintain, and has bells and whistles I'll likely never use.
