1996 Kawasaki GPz 1100/ ZX1100 E2, second owner, only 12,400+ miles (will go up slightly, as I still ride this bike occasionally around town). Approx 700 miles on new chain, sprockets, and Dunlop Roadsmart II tires. TONS of extras and custom features (both on and off the bike). Adult owned, meticulously maintained. Fresh from an $850 servicing at the local Kawasaki dealership. New bike on the way, so this faithful steed needs to go away. Buy it now price is below book value, and still includes more than $3500 in extras and custom work. Bike comes with a very interesting history; details can be provided if interested - too long for here. I am the second owner - original owner was a collector who put less than 2500 miles on the bike in more than 14 years. The mid 90's GPz1100s were only available for 2 years in the US, but since it's based on the mighty Ninja ZX-11, parts are readily available. Arguably the first of the super sport touring motorcycles. All day comfortable, this bike pulls like a freight train from as low as 2500 rpm. It drives like an old muscle car - pick any gear, open the throttle, hang on. This is NOT a bike for newbies. As setup, making more than 125 rear wheel hp and is a torque monster. I will not sell this bike to an inexperienced rider.
Currently installed (by original owner):
- custom paint: House of Color "Hot Rod Flatz Blue Metallic," with semi gloss black on the frame, all nuts and bolts, etc.. The black stripes visible are hand painted, set to mimic an old Boss Mustang. Difficult to get good picture of this paint - it's a truly beautiful matte finish and not intended to have a top coat/wax
- custom fit, steel braided front brake and clutch lines (rear brake still has a rubber line)
- old school (1980's era) GPz 1100 emblems
- Murph's front fork brace (MUCH more stable front end)
- light tint Zero Gravity windshield
- Vance & Hines SS2R full exhaust system and jet kit (shaves almost 15 pounds off the bike, great sound, not obnoxious)
- OEM saddle bags (currently only left side is on the bike - right mount/bag needs to be adjusted to clear the exhaust tip; slight fading visible on the top of the left bag)
- Norton Manx hand grips - have an unusual and comfortable shape, with a "paddle" on the throttle grip which reduces wrist strain by allowing the base of the thumb to easily modulate the throttle
- original tool kit and owner's manual
Extras included (not on bike):
- original/dual exhaust system (approx 300 miles miles on these pipes)
- light tint Zero Gravity windscreen (was mounted to verify fitment, then removed)
- new saddle (one on the bike still looks new, though)
- full service manual
- Lockhart Phillips tank bra
- Nelson Rigg cover (bike has always been garage kept, too)
I may be forgetting things. It's a lot to keep track of.
