I love bikes. I currently have a ZZR 1100 (1991 C MODEL) - the BIG DADDY of the biking world and whats more she is mine!! This sweetheart has been derestricted and race tuned although never raced. She has a metratrex rear swinging arm complete goodridge braided lines. She is more powerful than the standard model as she offers 1098cc and 175bhp unfortunately this is on the log book so insurance bracket is 16. At least she has an Oxford Boss alarm.
Please read the following MCN verdict:
"The ZZ-R11 long reigned as speed top dog, but that all changed in 1996 when Honda’s Super Blackbird assumed the title of “Fastest Production Motorcycle”. Intriguingly, however, the ZZ-R continues to impress, aceing the the Blackbird in top gear roll on tests, remaining a great all-rounder and now being better value than ever. One of motorcycling’s greats. Open its throttle with anything more than 4000rpm on the clock and the world gets thrown over your shoulders in a blur of colour. The bike also provides its own sound track, growling and snarling with pleasure as it comes on song. The rush of power is awesome, and the bike hurtles forward maniacally at an eye-popping rate. The ZZ-R is surprisingly easy to ride. The riding postion is typical Kawasaki – the forward stretched riding position comfy for most, especially for taller riders. And the power available might be intimidating but the bike is actually a real sweetie, just as easy to take to the shops as blast to the Bol. Sweet, neutral handler, too. The neat fold-away bungee hooks are well postioned and very useful as the flared tail-piece doesn’t take throwovers easily.The mirrors are blissfully vibe-free with clear views of what lies behind. Essential kit when piloting a motorcycle that can hit the national speed limit in first. Fuel consumption is an excellent 45mpg which allows 200 miles between fill-ups. The ZZ-R 1100 may not be top dog any more but its pedigree is impeccable and the mere fact its been de-throned by the Super Blackbird makes it even better value. All this for around £2500? That’s some kind of bargain in our book…" (MCN)
I always liked the look of bikes but never rode one as a youngster (down to pleasing my mum) but often went on them as a pillion. To start with I had a Peugeot Speedfight2 (year 2000 model) which my dad gave me and from then on I haven''t looked back. I have owned the following:
Peugeot Speedfight2 50cc X reg
Cagiva Supercity 125cc T reg
Kawasaki GPX 500S 500cc H reg
Kawasaki ZZR 400 H reg
Pioneer XF125 125cc 52 plate
Kawasaki GPX 750 F reg
Kawasaki ZZR 600 L reg
Kawasaki ZZR 600 P reg
Kawasaki ZZR 1100 H reg
The bike I have now is a monster but I keep her low revs and don''t max her. Fanny rider reallyha ha. She looks great on the road and handles superbly. I love the ZZR and swear by the reliability of Kawasaki as you can see.
So yeah - guess what?!! I am a biker ha ha. Fancy meeting up for a ride in the North West (UK) or know any good meets let me know via email - davidwhittaker1105 at yahoo.co.uk.
Keep smiling and enjoy yourselves.
