The Appeal
The Kawasaki ZXR400 was one of the most exciting 400cc sports bikes of its era. The '90s demanded high-revving, race-bred machines, and the ZXR delivered exactly that, with styling that closely mirrored its larger ZXR siblings. Prized for its lightweight agility, the ZXR400 has become increasingly sought after, a high-octane, thrilling yet increasingly nostalgic machine.
This 1999 example wears the iconic Kawasaki colour scheme of the era and retains its distinctive 'hoover' ram-air intake tubes. The vendor says it presents well for its age, with the original fuel tank said to be in very good nick and the side fairings looking sharp for their years. The nose cone fairing and front mudguard were recently replaced by the current owner, which we're told was no small job to source.
A paint repair on the rear left side, carried out to address scuffing by a previous owner, is described as the only notable blemish. Mechanically, the bike is said to start first time with the choke and ride smoothly through the gears.image.png1.23 MB
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions.
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is “Sold As Seen”, on an “As Is Where Is” basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.
