    Nissan's original design is so unbelievably bland... I just had to do something to try and improve it...! :lol:

    the plastics are poor, you only have to look at them and they mark

    Very nice! I always wanted the ZXR750R. The nearest ive got is my ZXR750L2. It does have the alloy exhaust mounting hanger from an R on it though! :thumbs: Unfortunately its been off the road since about 1999 after the engine cooked itself, and so its sitting in the corner of my garage awaiting the day I find time to get her going again..

     

    New project for you, put a zx9r B model engine in, easy swap

     

    The 750r is a mega bit of old kit, the sound from it with 39mm flatslide carbs is intoxicating

    Yeah I did consider fitting the old zx9r engine in back "in the day". I seem to recall you had to chop a small bit out of the frame for the rocker cover to clear (or something like that). A bloke local to me fitted one to his at one point. Another local chap fitted a zx6r engine in his but that required a lot more work. They are old bikes now, but ive never had as much confidence around the bends on any of my bikes as i did on my ZXR. I remember grinding the side off the exhaust on roundabouts I could lean it over so far.

     

    Yep old crates now as you say, nothing better front end wise than a 750 kwak though

     

    Nothing more satisfying than skinning a £15k all singing and dancing modern bike with a 24 year old nail
