The Kawasaki ZXR750 was a game-changer in the sportbike world, introducing advanced technology and performance to the middleweight category. Powered by a 749cc inline-four engine, the ZXR750 produced impressive power for its time, making it a popular choice for track enthusiasts and serious riders alike. The bike's dual overhead camshaft (DOHC) design, combined with liquid cooling, ensured strong performance and reliability. One of its standout features was the distinctive twin-headlight fairing, giving the ZXR750 an aggressive and aerodynamic look. The chassis was equally notable, featuring an aluminium twin-spar frame that provided excellent handling and stability, especially in high-speed corners. With fully adjustable suspension from Showa and high-performance brakes, the ZXR750 delivered confidence-inspiring control. The 1989 ZXR750 set the stage for Kawasaki's success in the superbike arena, and it remains a beloved model for collectors and fans of late 1980s sportbikes.
With 26, 889 miles on the odometer, the private vendor acquired the bike in 2018 and describes it as complete, clean, and original and advises us that the forks were rechromed in 2020. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road. Offered with V5C, a good quantity of service history, Gov. UK MoT history (expired July 2016), and an HPI report (listing 9 previous keepers).
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
