The 1998 ZZ-R 1100 D belonged to the last years of Kawasaki's original 1100 cc ZZ-R, a large transverse inline-four sports-tourer with four carburettors. Its character was high-speed stability and long-distance comfort rather than light weight. The specification shown is the common D-model sheet used across the 1995-2001 pages.
