you can get no real power out of these bikes- muzzy at the top of their game never broke 154-. You can get an honest 120, and thats really about it- if you hit 168, indicated, I would think that is about as fast as you can get out of a street zx7. If your state allows tagged titles, I would not worry about having a salvage title bike, it is not going to make that much of a difference on the zx7- unfortunately, they are worth little on the open market- amazing handling- but most 600's are whooping the crap out of them, there heavy, but they handle great, everyone I know that has a modern r6 has been spit off the bike.

damn i was hoping the bike had been geared for acceleration but if you say most 600's whope up on the 7 how was i hanging out in front of those big 1000's off line and midrange mph???

You must of had a rellay crapy ZX7R, My 98 ZX7R would kick the crap out of my 98 ZX9R from 0-100... Of course the ZX7R wasn't stock. Full Muzzy exhaust, +4 degree Factory timing advancer, Vortex 520 conversion 1 down 2 up, Stage 1 jet kit, and a K&N.. Love that bike wish I would have never sold it.
