The Z 1100GP was a 1981-82 air-cooled four-cylinder sports bike built on the KZ1000 family, distinguished by Bosch electronic fuel injection. Road testers found it fast and stable, with the main complaint being rear-wheel spin under hard acceleration. It was succeeded by the water-cooled ZX1100 for 1983.
