    Not a Honda, but.... Its VF1000R related

    I finished my 89 ZX7 recently, goes well with my 1990 zx7. Ive now started into a 3rd ZX7.

    There is also a chance that one of these will be getting traded so I can get one of my VF1000R's back !

    here is how the 89 started out

    Here she is now

    The 89 next to the 1990. Differences in the 89 vs 90 are quite alot more than a few decals and mirrors

    Stray, where you been doood?! I love looking at your Skoal Bandit!!
    Looks great, I don't think I have ever seen a rear seat cowl on any older ZX. Most excellent!

    Yea, sorry Rogue, not been here in a while. Need my VF1000R back so I can have a better excuse for being here more often.

    For you

    I love seeing your work, Stray. That's fantastic. I can only imagine (well, your vids help me imagine) how much time and patience goes into these restorations!

    i bought a '92 zx-7 i stumbeled upon at a repo auction around 1996, good runner but i added a dynojet kit. i loved the looks of the bike but the committed riding position and low bars were painful for me and kinda radical. great suspension, no power below 7000. sold it at modest profit after about 4 years. great bike but built to go way too fast. not comfy like a vfr.
