1993 Kawasaki ZR1100. It was originally named the "Zephyr" but due to a lawsuit by Ford Motor Company, the Zephyr name was dropped. Due to the negative publicity, the ZR1100 was only offered in the US in 1993.

I purchase the cycle in June of this year with 18K on it and I just turned 23K a few weeks ago.




I did purchase a Slipstreamer SS-28 fairing to extend my riding season. I ride to work as much as possible & it's 18 miles each way.



The ZR1100 was purchased so I had something to ride while I restore my 1973 Kawasaki H1 500.

Here's the beauty after 22 years of storage ( it's running in the pic)


I've completely stripped the bike, sandblasted and painted the frame with black epoxy paint.


I rebuilt the engine and polished the cases.
