Behold the mighty Ninja
As read on wikipedia, “The ZX11 is a sportbike in Kawasaki’s Ninja series made from 1990 to 2001, as the successor to the 1988-1990 Tomcat ZX10. With a top speed of 272-283 km/hr (169-176 mph), it was the fastest production motorcycle form its introduction until 1996”
According to Cycle World in Aug 1991, “On a scale of 1 to 10, this one’s an 11”
This design factoid noted by Cycle World blew my mind – “But there’s a twYst. Not only does the ZX-1 1 ‘s bodywork aid its aerodynamics, it also plays a part in the motor’s power production. In the 1970s, Ram Air was a phrase coined by Suzuki to describe the shrouds that routed cooling air over its two-strokes’ cylinder heads. These days, Kawasaki uses the term to describe its air-induction system. Simply put, the system draws air through a scoop below the headlight and routes it through an elaborate snorkel to a huge airbox beneath the fuel tank. It is the airbox’s sole source of oxygen. The incoming stream pressurizes the airbox. forcing air into the bank of four 40mm Keihin semi-flat-slide carburetors, and the resultant fuel mixture then rushes through the hand-polished intake ports into the combustion chambers.”
“You could cruise a German autobahn in second gear and still keep up with most trafic. That is, until some wannabe Hans Stuck in an Audi turbo toyed with you, at which point you’d be obligated to upshift and blow his doors into the stratosphere.”

Boy, that is an astonishingly low mileage figure for one of these, considering how they could eat up the miles. This is one I’ve always wanted to throw a leg over.
this is a big ass bike folks (so you will need a BIG CEREAL)…but seriously, if you are under 68 inches it might be a bit too tall for ya…but good god these things could just EAT up the miles….fun note – this edition of the zx11 was deeply analyzed by Suzuki when designing the Hayabusa
@martin That is a fun note!
Nothing triggers a RSBFS purist more than a triple tree with key fob damage. So preventable. It doesn’t have to be like this!!! 😢😢
That’s a bike that’ll grow on ya, and it’s only 2 hrs from home. Ya know what, I’ve got a slot in the garage just waiting to be filled, right in between the ’85 fz750 and the ’77 cb400f where the ’79 Yamaha Daytona used to sit.
Mark A., so you have one of the few 85 FZ 750’S out there. Lucky guy! See the FZ 750 post below.
Oh, you are the Mark A. in the FZ 750 post below . . .
