A couple reasons for picking my '93 Kawasaki ZR1100. Most important was I had a complete hsitory on the bike since new. My friend Dave purchased it new in '93 and had it until '06. He keeps everything he has perfect. The boss at work bought it from him and he's anal about keeping things nice.
They only had them one year in the USA. They were originally called the "Zephyr" but Ford got their panties in a wad since they had a car by that named ( people are constantly confusing the two
) Kawasaki withdrew the model from the US.
It runs good and has some low end grunt for just putting around. I also like the "old school" look ( plus the price was right)
