Yep gives me hope but I kinda like the one for sale at a dealers in Cornwall, as the ad says "Not many made in this colour!" And yes I had to go through just to make sure the parts lists did that colour, gold/orange scheme, me if it was nearer to up here I'd buy it just to be different, not a green one or purple or burgundy, silver, blue or red, though the red one, in GPz colours, I'd get the inlet ports hand polished, just so it would have that little difference that made GPz's that bit pokier than their counterpart models,,,,,,,,, dream on!!!!

They are really good bikes. I almost bought before I bought my Daytona, but didn't, so it was always an itch I was gonna scratch :lol:

IMO, they look good, especially the Lawson green, bright red or dark blue ones. They are big and comfortable, yet pretty quick and torquey. They can be made to handle quite well too for a half ton bus. The looks are classic Kawasaki. They are a proper blend of old skool cool and new(ish) era performance.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility I may yet buy another more standard one :wink:

I'm not keen on ZRX's therefore know nothing about them. Are the wheels on this one in the pic below standard ZRX, and is the rear 5.5 width, i.e. can 180mm be fitted to them?

That's for the "inferior" 1200
160/60/17 for the rear on the 1100,
You can get a 180 on but not the best for handling IMHO
what,s there to say except we,re all mad on here.
