What is this Bike ??

[aff-man]

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

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

Add another zero, and the price might be more believeable

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?

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...)

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??

That 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

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.

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)

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