What do you guys think of these? If i buy it im thinking along the lines of a "cafe racer" sort of thing. Keep the spoked wheels, Try a small stretch and lowerish?? and a new heart (any ideas??) while keeping the factory body work reasonably close to what it is. In-put here would be greatly appreciated. Any one know how to use that photo editor thingy??

thanks i have heard that from another bloke. Thought it would come up okay with some decent suspension etc.

I had a brand new Zr750C3 for a while.

Great bike. A little tame but great potential.
Few problems with gaskets on the top end, should all have
been sorted under warrenty long a go.

Best looking of the 3 (550 / 750 / 1100) im my opinion.
The 550 and 11 had odd looking frames around the swingarm /
footpeg / side panel area. Still good bikes but didn't have the classic Zed lines of the 750.

I'd have another as a project.
Z750Turbo motor would be an interesting swap,
or Gixxer 750 with some good running gear,(Stock forks are awful)

The motor isnt identical to the Z650 / Z750 / GT750 but has a lot
in common. There are a lot worse bikes out there.

Only got rid of mine because of a very good part-ex deal on a ZZR11C3

I am a big fan of the Zephyr the instructors at the training school in Darwin use them, well they used to that was a fair while ago.
