I purchased this as a brand-new leftover in 2004 from Powersports East (Bear, Delaware), where currently the service folks tell me this is the best-running, best-maintained ZR-7S they know of. Needs absolutely nothing; I'd jump on and ride cross-country without a worry. Regular 3,000 mile oil changes with Repsol semi-synth. This bike has served me well for commuting, weekend back-road exploring, and occasional week-long touring throughout the north east US. Don't fear the 67,000 miles: it means the bike was ridden frequently, and year-round, so no carbs getting gummed up, fuel tank rusting inside, electrical contacts corroding, or charging systems going bad you'll find on garage queens. I'm an ex-USAF jet fighter mechanic so I'm big on preventative maintenance. I replace items before they wear out, fail or get corroded or sun faded, such as the cables, seat, rear shock, fork seals, cush-drive, mirrors, footpegs, turn signal mounts, fuel lines, hardware and lots more. Nearly new tires, brakes, and front master cylinder. Recent valve adjustment. Plenty of life left in chain, sprockets and clutch. All work has been done by either Powersports East or me. Tasteful and useful sport-touring modifications, such as a larger and tinted Zero Gravity windscreen, Givi racks and E-21 side cases (will fit any Givi Monokey series of cases), Givi Monolock E-350 top case and mount that goes with bike but not currently installed, Garmin GPS on RAM cradle, Formotion clock, Fiamm horn, Fenda Extenda, spot mirrors, stainless steel braided front brake lines, Progressive fork springs and custom PVC preloaders, upgraded headlight bulb, BMW Sport Grips, Battery Tender pigtail, extra RAM ball mount on throttle side, and fuel gauge modified for increased accuracy. The PAIR (exhaust air-injection) system has been removed for smoother running; otherwise, the engine, carbs, and exhaust are bone stock. Full maintenance/service/modifications log and all original sales paperwork goes to the buyer, along with the factory service manual (complete with notes and greasy fingerprints), Fuel-brand end can/muffler (English import) that was used for less then 1,000 miles, sheepskin butt pad, a tank bag or two, a bunch of misc. hardware/spare parts, original seat, spare headlight and gauge bulbs, unused OEM fork springs, Kisan Tailblazer modulating tail light bulbs, and maybe some other stuff I'll find hiding in the garage. Some or all of the extras can be left out to reduce the price. Always garaged at home and at work. Never down, not even a parking lot tip-over. Tags good until March 2018! Has been reliable as a rock, lots of fun, and I'll miss it greatly, but I bought a new bike a few months ago and need to free up space in my small garage, so someone is going to get to steal this. Price is negotiable, particularly this time of year, so make a reasonable offer: I just may take it. Open to trade offers other than cars/trucks/motorcycles. Thanks for looking!
