After riding the open class bikes, getting on the ZR-7S is somewhat, how you say, disappointing. Not that it's a bad bike, not by any stretch of the imagination.
Speculation and wishing will get you nothing but disappointment. Our case study? That'd be the introduction of Kawasaki's then-new Super Size sport bike in the Y2K, the ZX-12R.
It's still amazing to me, in this day of litigious consumers and near-impeccable quality control, that these bikes could have been produced and sold the way they were.
Motorcycle Online got the 800 CC version to try out, so we took her for a leisurely spin along the scenic streets of Torrance and up into the foothills of some local mountains.
