Could be "kawasaki cup" was a race championship for ZXR400s in Germany ? ? ??

Certainly it's not something I'd ever heard of untill now and I'm sure it is NOT a factory produced special

Could be wrong :smt017

Id have said what Cargo said, stickered up with a nice paint job. Anyone could be doing that. I notice the kawasaki sticker is in the wrong place on the side panels. And ive never seen that colour before either, so that suggests the bodywork isnt what it should be to me.

after seeing that brochure i still dont know. Going by that, all its advertising is that you get is a helmet and paddock stand with it plus a sticker with a number on it, which suggests its an offer from perhaps a bike shop? Theres no kawasaki logo anywhere on it either which makes me wonder even more as to wether its a genuine thing kwak 'cup edition' model.

Only other thing i can think of is they its advertising the SP model, but thats no SP model in the brochure. :smt017

OH Dear................I think you have been fooled by the seller...................

That brochure is for a ZX-7R...................it's 750 brochure................nothing to do with the blue 400 in your pictures

In the brouchure there is also the 400 :smt002

I think it was only a "commercial edition", a std plated 400 plus the helmet and the paddock stand..

It was made in the 99 and maybe they only try to sell the "old" ZXR in stock :wanker

I'm pretty sure it wasn't an SP versione.

Oopps, there is a kawasaki logo on that brochure! I stand corrected, by myself.

I think your right tho, they have tried to shift some old stock by giving away some freebies n a sticker. All that taken into account the bike itself is as standard as it gets i reckon, as there doesnt seem to be any mention of anything 'special' going by the specs.

oooooooooh, body coloured mirrors...

looks pretty though. my bets on dealer special.

In that brochure, that cruiser is labelled an EN500, which i was under the impression that was the official designation of our ER5, with EX500 being the GPZ500s in England. Maybe the Cup Edition is their name for a particular L model ZXR400?
I do 700 miles a week in all weathers including snow, that's roughly 35,000 miles a year, and some weekend warrior biker has the nerve to get out of his Audi at work to tell me to I was riding far too fast in the wet (over taking at 50... fast eh?).
