Great ride,felt like i was there,i twitched everytime a car came at me on the wrong side of the road,thank you for the cruise its a lovely bad ass bike
Best thing about my ZX-11 C2 was riding two up with my girlfriend (in our fit early twenties) or solo, did not change the performance. Worst thing was the steering feeling so heavy after my 900RR rides, that I would double check the ZX-11 tires to be sure they weren't flat. The 900RR for sure noticed a passenger on it. Teased the 900RR owners in our group I bought the 1995 900RR for my girlfriend to ride (girls bike), and kept the ZX-11 for me. :)
Hi You dont need to preach to the converted i have ridden new machines and old and the best compromise from my worms eye view is the 80s/ 90s machines as they had more than adequate performance. I dont undersand having a set of different driving modes just learn to use your throttle as you had to before 1990
I bought one to take one touring about 20 years ago and while fast, my mate's GSXR600K1 could keep with me drag racing away from the toll booths on the French auto-routes. The torque was nice though and I loved the hard luggage - a great touring bike.
@roverchap That's correct they have been, it's got a CNC riser and a rental bar. Slightly better riding position for me. As soon as I posted, I wish I'd mention it in the video.
Glad to see it all put together and getting out on the road. Hoping to do the same with my ZX11 this weekend after carb rebuild and cleaning and new fuel lines for tank arrive.
In a similar situation. My 91 model has been waiting carb rebuild for a few years. It was drained before storage but the o-rings on the fuel rails between the carb bodies have to be fully dry rotted by now. Original O rings dried out and guaranteed to leak / start a fire on the first ride.
Hi my ride is a modified gpz750r it has a 1000rx motor and is a complete animal loads of fun and completely ridable with only one mode twist and go it is currently undergoing a metamorphosis by gaining zzr1100 forks and wheels and swingarm and maybe even zzr1100 cylinder barrels. Letssee what happens

@ward9306 Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the ride. Hopefully, I'll have better sound on the next one.

There is something about them.

There was a lot of that going on back in the day.
Looks like the handlebars have been changed. The stock ZZR bars were individual left and right clip-on style, and gave a pronounced lean forward.

@gregorynickerson7407 It's incredibly satisfying to be out on the road, having spent so much time on it. Good luck with yours.

@TheZX11 When rebuilding my carbs, this was the first thing I replaced too. Just couldn't trust them to hold.

@TheBlibo sounds like a lot of work, one help of a project. Sounds amazing.
@10MilMoto hi I enjoy modifying as much as riding just get the picture in my head and make it
And that picture is mostly cafe racers
@TheBlibo it takes talent to be able to do that. And the payoff is stepping back and looking at what you've achieved.
