The ZZ-R 1100 has long since passed on the trophy for the most powerful motorcycle. Which doesn’t change the fact that the Kawasaki as a used car is a good all-rounder with a lot of pressure.

Kawasaki’s sports tourer ZZ-R 1100 it was reserved in 1990 to go down in two-wheel history as the first motorcycle with a standard, superbly functioning Ram Air system. The manufacturer promised an impressive 147 hp
for the unthrottled version, with which the ZZ-R secured the crown of the fastest production motorcycle for a long time. In Germany, due to the agreement of the importers, it initially remained at 100 hp, and so the sports tourer had to lure potential buyers with other qualities.
For example with its good wind protection or the great handling. Not
to forget the full draft,
the comfortable seating position, the moderate fuel consumption, the snappy brakes and and and. In short, the ZZ-R 1100 was much more than a high-speed express right from the start, namely a great all-rounder. However, it does have a few shortcomings. These include, in particular, the spring elements that are too softly tuned and the payload of just 173 kilograms, which is far too low for a sports tourer.
Nevertheless, the several times overworked ZZ-R 1100 ?? she got 1993
including a double ram-air system ?? a large fan base, which was joined by a number of new members even in the last production year 2001. Who today is looking for a used ZZ-R 1100 with not too high mileage
decides, receives for comparative
little money a well-engineered sports tourer with a stable engine that can be used in most everyday situations with the
can keep up with much younger competition quite well.
The successor model offered since 2002, the ZZ-R 1200, is deep
Having to endure far-reaching modifications, however, the tradition of the 1100s continues seamlessly. The more powerful, but noticeably thirstier 1200 engine is powered by carburettors, while the competition has long been electric-
has niche injection systems on board. The high weight and the somewhat stubborn driving behavior in tight turns
ZZ-R 1100 drivers are just as familiar with the good wind protection behind the redesigned fairing. Much better, however, is the stability at high speeds, where the very tightly tuned ZZ-R 1200 only oscillates very slightly around the longitudinal axis and clearly gives up on its predecessor. This is a step forward that high-speed junkies have to pay extra for when buying a used vehicle.

Particularly popular with this clientele are models with the double ram air system from 1993 onwards, which are offered for around 3,000 euros with mileages of up to 50,000 kilometers. Younger models with 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers cost between 4,000 and 5,000 euros. Because of the strong competition from Honda CBR 1100 XX or Suzuki Hayabusa, it is now even owned by Ers-
te hand cream cake of the last model year with around 10,000 kilometers on the clock hard to achieve a price above 6000 euros.

sightseeing
The 1100 series proved its stamina not only in the endurance test of sister magazine PS, but also in customer hands. Still there was an association-
tent major engine damage, which was mostly the result of negligence on the part of the owner. High continuous speeds are particularly critical when the oil level is at the lower limit of the sight glass. In this case, adequate lubrication may no longer be possible
guaranteed. So better keep away from it
Leave specimens whose owners have often thrashed across the autobahn. Also make sure that the second gear pops out on the ZZ-R built up to 1991. Furthermore, after around 25,000 kilometers, the shock absorbers in the rear wheel and the fork seals are often worn out.
