regarding the zx-7r
from Performance Bikes set-up manual..the zx-7r has good basic suspension components. it has a slightly choppy ride due to it's firm springs, but that gives it it's fantastic sense of feedback. the forks do kick off small bumps and ripples because of too much low-speed compression. rear spring can be revalved and resprung quite cheaply, if you desire or need..or as always..go to your wallet.the zx-7r is eay to get on with and flatters most riders..it is pyshically strong and very reliable.it's a bit down on power to the gsx-r and it's heavier.Buti it can go faster as fast as an untweaked gixxer.its very stable, it feels planted especially in the front. it has a strong, well-developed engine with no quirks or flatspots.
