When we covered this auction lot, the 1992 Kawasaki ZX-7R K2 was going for $40,100 USD, which was already a substantial sum. Once the auction period was over, however, the winning bid went up to a whopping $69,978 USD, nearly seventy grand for an untouched time machine of a homologation special.
Long-time Kawasaki fans will know that the value of this find is pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Kawi ZX-7R is a rare bike used and exceptionally rarer in-crate, given how motorcyclists might be tempted to actually ride the darned thing and obviously assemble it and take it out of its crate. Units can go for thousands of dollars at auction as they stand, but the price of this unit dwarfs whatever used Kawasaki ZX-7Rs there are in the market, and in fact, nearly quadruples the asking price.
