Always liked those, saw a ZX7RR on the back of a truck a while ago, don't see them very often that's for sure.

I miss the 750 class, the days of FZR/YZF, ZX7R/RR, Honda RC 30/35, and GSXR's sure were nice.

"i need to get back on the track..."


Jones'n are we? Smell of that rubber and race fuel in your nostrils.
You could always come up here and help me for a few weekends at the races. I have lots of room in this old house for you and your gal to hang for a bit.
