A retro-styled muscle bike from Kawasaki with 1980s-inspired looks, built on a detuned ZZ-R1100 engine with a redesigned top end to move power lower in the rev range. Its steel cradle frame, 43 mm forks and piggyback rear shocks give it a relaxed, torquey character. The source's 1999 - 2001 page says it replaced the Zephyr 1100.
