Onboard Kawasaki ZX7R Cadwell Park April 2016

It was a typically wet and horrible morning in Louth last Saturday (April 9th 2016) we were up at 4:30am and some poor soul had to ride the ZX7 all the way there in the pissing rain.
It performed flawlessly and we bike shared, which means the bike ran in both groups. We swapped riders Le Mans style.
This video features a couple of laps on a drying track using footage of both myself and the poor fella who ride the bike to and from the circuit - Jon Jarvis. #Kudostoyou my friend ;)
Many thanks to:
Bailey Emmerson (for taking pictures and shooting video)

Toff J for lending us his GoPro Hero 4... (Did he know Jon?)
Tim Emmerson (For braving the cold and wet and early morning nightmares that cause chaos with your bodily functions ruining your usual 6:30 am poo/me time..)
Me (For building this bike since 2013 and making it one of the best 7's you'll find).

There's just something about a ZX-7R that automatically puts it in the "Bad-Ass Bike Hall of Fame."

[@sirlloyd6386]

You’re absolutely right, I’ve had an R1, an R6 or two, a ZX9R, a ZX12R, a ZZR1400 a GSXR 750 SRAD & three ZX7R’s. Not showing off, just listing my bikes and the ZX7R just turns you into a total hooligan and the sound of the things are terrific 👍🏽

@@sirlloyd6386 How'd you like the ZX-12R? I'm on a ZX-9R now and tempted to add the 12 to my fleet...

[@sirlloyd6386]

@@jordangarrick703 To be honest, I just couldn’t get it to handle at the front end. I tried everything.
In a straight line - amazing, but it cornered terrible.
Nothing handled better than the ZX7R from the Kawasaki’s I’ve had. The best handling bike I’ve had was the 2007 R6 track bike I had in 2011. I currently have a 2000 R6 by the way - had it for 8 years. Taking it to the track in June 👍🏽 hope this helps.

Many thanks for sharing this footage... watching these precious ZX-7R's unleash their ability and full potential is a real treat to watch. Anyhow, I currently own a 2001 ZX-7R with the best sounding 'D & D' Pipe I've ever heard on any bike - no joke. Also, I previously owned a '99 ZX-7R back-in-the-day, which was straight stock everything. Yeah, I'm extremely grateful for having logged thousands upon thousands of miles on each during the various riding seasons with these green beauties. When you're given a chance to ride in life, take advantage folks... take advantage.

Can't beat the sound of a ZX7R

[@antoniosironi9900]

[@allansrensen1480]

I love my 2001 zx7r

[@sirlloyd6386]

Really miss my 7R 🥲
Got a 2000 R6 now that I’ve had for 6 years. I do love it, but it doesn’t have the character that a 7R has. Thanks for commenting 👍🏼
