1996 Kawasaki ZX-11
Summary:
Scary fast and a major thrill ride
Faults:
The bike has worked great except for the front brakes seizing up if the bike sits for longer than two weeks. This only happens when it is cold. 0-10 C.
General Comments:
This is an amazing bike when you consider how old it is. The acceleration will still give new bikes a serious run for their money. I never hit top speed, but I wouldn't doubt it could easily hit the 280 kph mark.
The ZX11 is comfortable and rides more like a sport tourer. I am 6 ft 3 and could ride for hours on the bike. I do not recommend a passenger even though it does have a large seat. This is a bike meant to be ridden solo.
Braking is great. The bike will carve through the corners very easily. I will say that it is a pain to move around when it isn't running.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
