How stupid can a person be that when the machine clearly says Kawasaki he puts Yamaha in several places? :huh:

What Kawasaki would you guess it to be?
It's not a 750, look at the cam cover (it's rounded, not square), the starter cover (round chrome cap on the end, not square cover on top).
What air cooled Kawasaki fours were available in 92?
If it's a typo and the seller meant 82, I still don't have a clue as to what 82 it could be.
I'm leaning towards it actually being a Yamaha.
Edit:
Had a look around the web, and I can't find any pics that match, it's for sure not a 750 Seca, and it's not a GS Suzuki, aw heck, where's Z-doc, I'll bet he can identify at least the motor.
Edit #2:
Found a 92 Kawasaki 750 Zephyr that looks like it matches, I didn't realize how much difference there was between the earlier 750's and the later ones.

Well, in the title description it does say zr750 I don't know about that motor being stock to be honest looks like a 900 don't know how they stuffed it into that frame. He is probably the bike pimp and got his descriptions mixed up. Looks like garbage anyway. I had a zr1100 loved the bike but what a pita the emissions crap was and well it was nothing like my kz on a good day.

Well there it is. So he must be selling two bikes or something and just screwed up the description. I still think the 1100 looked better.

Talk about narrow minded, I have a hard time identifying bikes made after 83-85 
Maybe it's something to do with age
Anyway, I like the ZR750, now that I've had a good look at it. Matter of fact it seems I have been turning my project KZ750E into a ZR750 unknowingly :woohoo:
