I just got my Kawasaki Zephyr 750 back on the road. It had a crack in the head where a bolt attaches it and miraculously I found a head on eBay. It had a little road rash on a couple of the fins but was in excellent condition otherwise. I couldn’t believe I found one just when I needed it. Finding parts for this bike is next to impossible.
At any rate spent the afternoon riding it and what a blast. Although the CB and it are it are both fours that’s where the similarity ends. Riding the ZR is like riding an angry wasp. It’s not comfortable unless it’s over 4000 rpms. It’s light and nimble and just leaps into curves. That being said the CB is always going to be my everyday bike but the ZR is a nice complement to it. A good bike to get some thrills on while I’m still able to.
