    Still hanging on to my 95 model ZX-11. 52,000 miles and still no problems. I know it's been years since it was the fastest but, at age 62 it's still fast enough for me.

      Lol you already have 3 motorcycles, and you talk about other motorcycles but still dont know why the H2R is not legal on the streets? Its not dumb because its bot intended for the streets, its only of track use. It doesnt have a headlight, tail light, horn, signal lights just like motoGP bikes

      @David b , Right on! I do too. I was at the U.S. debut at Laguna Seca 1983 . I instantly fell in love and bought the 3rd one onto the shop I was working at. ( The 1st two were already spoken for) It has been 35 years now. I must have owned 60 plus bikes since then. I have 4 other bikes at this moment, but my GPz900r is still my favorite . Just a great all around machine.

    I own the ZZR 1100 D(1999). When this bike came out was the King of speed for 6 years until honda blackbird came which was faster 3 km/h, but was not so aerodynamic and beautiful as the ZZR was
    When we talk about power and speed, the big K comes to each's biker's mind no matter what bike he rides.

    A mate let me ride his 1984 900R back in the day. I had a CB750KZ at the time... so naturally I jumped on and ripped it open. After a quick view of the sky, a change of underwear and some prayers, I gave it back. Happy just to have survived.

    Completely left out probably the most often overlooked but pivotal piece in the ZX/ZZR lineup, the ZZR1200(ZX12C) 2002-2005. Given it's status as the most powerful carbureted production bike at 160 crank 145 RW HP this bike always gets forgotten about between the ZX11 and ZX12R. Let's give it some love!

H2B 750 Mach IV l'inizio del mito! L'urlo del piacere! I brividi nella schiena solo a ricordarla!....Un'altra realtà'!
