What is this Bike ??

[2_SL0]

Can someone please tell what this bike is. I have never seen a R1 with a 700 cc engine. Is it a full on race bike??

Drool :yeah:

[Mr Skid]

My money on it being vapourware.

"engine type heavy" :unsure:

A 700cc 2004 R1 with 2000km for $5500. :unsure:

0800 number :unsure:

I'd say prepare to being asked to do a wire transfer..

[Coyote]

In around '98 they were devoloping the R7, but I think the R6 took over and made it into production. That looks like a misprint, I would've heard if they were making a 700 or not

[Coyote]

Not engine type heavy again!

I thought they only made the R7 for track use

Not sure. I've seen somewhere a R7 kitted out with all the road gear and headlights, as if it were to be mass produced. Think I saw it in a Superbike annual

[Two Smoker]

looks like the mistyped the capacity, and missed out the number 2 in the price....

[MSTRS]

All of the above.........but it still brings on a drool

Pha! I wish they did! :blink:

I would imagine most engines would be quite heavy.
Unless it was a magic imaginary 700cc engine for $5000 :rolleyes:

The R7 is prodominantly a race bike but i recall reading somewhere that a limited edition street R7 has been produced at an outrageous cost :kick:

it would also be a 750cc, not a 700......

[Coyote]

Yeah not 5K... :blink:
Add another zero, and the price might be more believeable

[Coyote]

Anyone know what stopped them producing the R7?

[Two Smoker]

Anyone know what stopped them producing the R7?
The want of 750's has decreased since it isnt a racing class anymore.... Now only Suzuki (the legends) make a 750 IL4 race styled bike (which every bike mag RAVES about)

So ARE you giving up bikes?

[Two Smoker]

So ARE you giving up bikes?
Do you really think i could do that????? Might do some work on the race bike and take it up and down the street...(puely for testing reasons ofcourse...)

http://www.bikepoint.co.nz/DesktopDefault.aspx?UsedBikeID=431073&TabID=3553&Alias=bikepointnzThat looks to me to be fake.
R1=1000cc
$5500=nowhere near enough
Engine type heavy=Seller doesn't even know bikes have two wheels having never seen one (least of all this one)

I think I'll ring the 0800 :finger:

Guys - it's been up on trademe before, with the exact same wording. It was a have, and the guy was done by Trademe.

There is no 700cc R7 or R1. The R7 is 750cc and an absolute beauty, but limited to 100hp, so a sorted R6 will kick it's butt in a straight line, but all the Ohlins majic on it means it would probably pwn an R1 or R6 in the swervery.

You'll keep missy.

Expect it when you least expect it!

I believe the R7 was made in limited numbers for homogalation purposes for WSBK racing. Very very very trick bike with all the goodies thrown at it but motor only produced around 100hp, well off the power mark of the then current 750's. However, this was designed as it was intended to be sold with a race kit that brought the motor out to its true potential, one that matched the beautiful chassis set-up. Also one of the most gorgeous bikes from Japan. (for a bike from the late 90's)

1st pic is of a '99 model, 2nd a '02 model (well thats what the web site says)

[Deano]

Ben Affleck has an R7 - but he could afford several I imagine.

[ajturbo]

does look good but.......... it is missing a speical piece of plumbing :whistle:

Yep,and the reason it was "only" a 750 was that bigger 4s were not allowed back then.WSB bikes have to be based on road bikes,as have similar series over the years.Other homologation specials include the Honda RC30 of way back and the even older 1000cc version of the Suzuki Katana and Kawasaki`s 998cc Z1000J ,I think the standard ones were a touch over 1000cc and thus not legal for production based racing of the day.The Kat and big Z were not that far from regular models but later things like the R7 and RC30 were pure exotica.Similar rules still apply and you can even buy a road-legal Foggy Petronas if you`ve got the dosh and the contacts.yamaha learned a lesson with the FZR750,brilliant bike but the Fireblade was out and despite it being probably the best 750 of it`s time(still makes RIDE`s annual survey "Best Bike" top twenty 11 years after going out of production)it was "only a 750" to the punters and most went the "bigger is better" route.Despite the bigger engine the R1 has benefitted from development on the R7 race bikes,for example the R7 was the first fuel-injected Yam,anyone tempted to shell out all that money might like to ponder the fact that even Yamaha admit to "finally getting it right" by the time the R1 got it.There was recently one on Ebay in Britain so they`re still around.One of the Virgin Yamaha riders still has one as a road bike and reckons it`s the best bike he`s ever ridden.Rule changes now mean the R1 is legal for Superbike racing but it`s not proved quite as successful as expected un-like the GSXR1000.

Suzuki also had a GSXR-750R ltd edtition around the same time as the RC30. Unfortunately it wasn't in the same league as the RC and didn't feature very well. Can't remember the specs (or find any after a quick search on the net) but sure it had a dry clutch, more magnesium parts, etc. Looked good for its day (once again, the RC30 even looked better, that thing is a timeless piece of art).

BTW, found this website while searching, might be handy for someone.
