1991 KAWASAKI NINJA ZX-7

ORIGINAL FINE ART PAINTING BY LANCE GROOTBOOM

The 1991 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7 is a sportbike that was part of Kawasaki's renowned Ninja series, which has been a staple in the motorcycle world for its performance and styling. The ZX-7 was a significant bike in the sportbike category during the early '90s, offering a blend of handling, power, and agility that appealed to both enthusiasts and serious riders.

Here are some key details about the 1991 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7:

 

Engine and Performance:

  • Engine Type: The ZX-7 featured a 749cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC (double overhead cam), inline-4 engine.

  • Power Output: It produced around 105 horsepower at 11,000 RPM and about 62 lb-ft of torque. This was a substantial amount of power for the time, offering an exciting ride with smooth power delivery across the rev range.

  • Transmission: It came with a 6-speed gearbox and a chain final drive.

  • Top Speed: The ZX-7 could achieve a top speed in the range of 150-160 mph (240-257 km/h), which was impressive for a 750cc sportbike.

  • Keihin Carburetors : The ZX-7 was carbureted, using 38mm Keihin carburetors. These were standard for high-performance bikes at the time, allowing for better fuel delivery and more responsive throttle control compared to earlier carb setups.

​

Chassis and Handling:​

  • Frame: The ZX-7 used a twin-spar aluminum frame (also known as a perimeter frame). This was a lightweight and rigid structure, providing excellent handling precision and stability. The aluminum construction helped reduce the overall weight of the bike while maintaining the necessary strength for handling high-speed cornering and aggressive riding.

  • Suspension: The front suspension was a 41mm telescopic fork with adjustable preload and rebound damping, while the rear featured a single shock with adjustable preload and rebound damping.

  • Brakes: It had dual 310mm front discs with 4-piston calipers and a single 220mm rear disc with a single-piston caliper, giving it good stopping power for the time.

  • Tires: The bike was typically equipped with 17-inch wheels, with a 120/70 front tire and 150/70 rear tire, which helped maintain stability at high speeds and during cornering.

​

Design and Features:

  • Styling: The ZX-7 sported a more angular and aggressive look compared to its predecessors, with sharp lines and a full fairing that gave it a distinctly modern appearance for the time.

  • Weight: The bike weighed around 198 kg (437 lbs), which was fairly light for a 750cc sportbike, contributing to its nimbleness and agility.

  • Fuel Capacity: It had a fuel tank capacity of approximately 18 liters (4.7 gallons), giving it a decent range for long rides or track days.​​​

​

​​Color Scheme:​

  • White: The primary base color gave the bike a clean and modern appearance.

  • Kawasaki Green: Accent color inspired by Kawasaki’s racing heritage, bringing a bold, energetic touch to the bike.

  • Blue: Added as a secondary accent color, complementing the green and white, giving it a sleek, sporty vibe.

This color scheme was both eye-catching and reflective of Kawasaki’s racing DNA, making the bike stand out on the road and on the track. It balanced the energetic green with the elegance of white and blue, appealing to riders who wanted a performance-focused, yet stylish motorcycle.

​

Legacy

The 1991 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7 became an iconic model within the sportbike community, with its combination of speed, technology, and style. Its success on the racetrack, coupled with its popularity among street riders, ensured that the ZX-7 would go on to influence future generations of Kawasaki motorcycles. The green, white, and blue color scheme has become a nostalgic symbol of Kawasaki’s dominance in motorsports and its commitment to producing high-performance machines.

​

As a result, the ZX-7 remains a beloved model for collectors, enthusiasts, and riders who appreciate its balance of cutting-edge performance and visually compelling design.
