For a street bike, it really does not matter to much.. Both would be a hella lot of fun and will wheelie without too much of a problem.

If your looking to stunt anytime down the road I would go with the gixxer because like the Honda, it's a "Me Too" bike. Meaning, if you tell a friend that you ride a Honda or a Gixxer, 9 times outta 10 they'll respond, "Me too". This awesome if your stunt'n or track'n the bike as you will have no problem finding parts.

Just my Opinion, good luck!

gixxer 600 is lighter, easier to find parts, cause there is so many of 'em hot, that parts are cheap, but the '97 is kind of a dog with a wooden leg, still a good dog. If you can score the 750, you'll be much happier. ZX7R on the other hand has not changed any since '96. It's heavier than most in it's class now-a-days, but it's an animal, flawless at that.
