Kawasaki ZR-7, a.k.a. ZR 750F, my bike from may 1999 until may 2011. I rode 200.000 km with this bike.
This is a very basic bike, a so called 'naked' bike. A no nonsense bike: a frame, wheels, engine, tank, seat and handlebars, that's it. Approaching it's 10th birthday the bike has done over 170.000 kilometers!
