    Love my 1997 ZX-11, got 3 years ago for $2500 USD.
    I own a Ducati Diavel, a HyperMotard 950, a 2007 1098, a Honda VFR1200F, and a 2007 ZX-14. The ZX-11 is my favorite of them all!!

    As is obvious from my YT channel I am a ZZR 1100 rider and love this machine. Welcome back to the great machine mate. Agree with all your comments. It wasily keeps up with, and often leaves behind the latest bikes. I love the look on their faces when you stuff it up the inside going into a bend. Some simple suspension changes make a huge difference. The cheapest, and best being rotating the concentric adjusters 180 degrees. Changes the steering head angle and makes turn in very precise without negatively impacting straight line stability. Enjoy your D model mate. I will subscribe to see the ZZR updates.

    • @CompleteRider
      @CompleteRider  2 года назад

      Thanks for the positive vibes, I'll look into that concentric hack. I will get it to tip in a bit quicker and was going to try the usual bring the fork tube up 5mm or put a 60 series tyre up front but both will throw out top speed stability. Thanks, research time. 👍

      @@darrylwood1220 Agreed mate. The standard shock can be a little soft and does not get better with age. Any good quality shock will be an improvement. I changed front and rear with Hyperpro and it is now spot on for me.(I did the same thing with my first ZZR 1100 as well.)

    I remember going to dealer in 1990 when it first came out and seeing up on a pedestal. The rear tire was enormous and the journalist reviews had me pining to ride that “blastwave of an endless explosion!” Now I have a clean ‘91 and it is such a great bike-quiet, smooth, comfortable, and enough low down power to keep you entertained and a top end that will land you in jail.

    I couldn't agree with your review any more. I bought my first ZX-11 in 1994 while stationed in Germany. As a young guy, I ruled the autobahn on what was then the King of the Road. In 2003 I blew the engine on the autobahn and she literally caught fire. I missed that bike so much. Finally, at long last, I bought another one - a 1995 that I drove 740 miles on to get it home. The very second I test rode it, all those familiar feelings came back. I'll never part with the bike!

    I had a 78 Z1R in high school (the 80's in America waa rules by Harley, anything else could be purchased for a song), and sitting in our library, I remember reading Cycle World's review of the zx 1000R, in Stealth black, and also fell in love. Those early 1000 & 1100 models had such timeless styling. The minimalist, organic styling utilized today just doesn't hold a candle to the fighter jet stance of these classics. Great review, and a beautiful machine you have there!

    I'm so glad to be able to own one of these beauts, got myself a 96 that I absolutely love and will never get rid of. I had a big wipe out day one of ownership when a completely oblivious driver blew threw a red light, ended up totaling her, but I rebuilt her over a year on my own and that helped me grow a true attachment to the bike. Since then, I've had new carbs and a single exit thrown on her, and a tune that I'm not the biggest fan of, she'll build like crazy until 5800 then die off, then at a hair under 7 she'll shit her pants and leave you behind her. Absolutely wild ride but feels weird as all sin to be rocketing up to hwy speeds just for her fall over herself and then kick you in the teeth, and BAM you've double the legal limit withing an onramp. truly crazy experience that words do no justice.

      ​@@mustangmikep51 Do you by any chance know, if the C is geared differently compared to the D?
      I find the C being able to reach 200 km/h in 3rd gear, the D however can only do this in 4th gear.
      Wouldn't this make the C accelerating faster than the D, since needing to change to 4th gear on the D, would slow it down?

    I am in the UK and bought a 1990 C1 in 1992 as I couldn't afford a new one when they came out. I took a demonstation bike out when they first came out and took it to the max, they thought I wasn't coming back when I finaly returned it. It was supposed to be about a 15 minute ride but I was gone nearly an hour to get to the right road to do it. It was my local shop and I had bought from them before.
    A few years later I managed to blow the big ends in it after it overheated and chucked some water out, not sure why it did that. I bought an engine from a breakers but couldn't get the engine bolts out, the head snapped off the bolts, I tried heat etc.
    As I had 2 young kids and a company car I left it and the years took it;s toll, I still have it in bits.
    I saw a very cheap D1 on ebay 3 years ago (£750) that needed a little work but was usuable and legaly on the road. I soon found out there must be a hundred minor changes as very little from the C1 would fit it. The D1 had a very worn tyre and the C1's tyre was new but had been sitting over 10 years. I tried to swap the rear wheel and found it wouldn't fit so swapped the tyre over and found they were different profiles but it fitted the wheel. The D1 had a bent clutch lever and that was one of the few things that fit from the C1.
    The D1 stands me in after a new battery and a few odd bits under £1000 not including the normal wear and tear stuff like brake pads and discs. Speaking of which I put the discs from the C1 on it to pass an MOT and they were a few mm smaller but it passed. I bought new discs later.
    It is a heavy bike and because of that I don't use it much for popping out on. I keep thinking I should get a lighter bike but then I ride it again and say..... maybe later.
