zx-11 first ride

the weather broke for this weekend up here so today i fired up the new bike and went for a blast all i can say is unreal what a bike i can't believe all i paid for it was 3000 it is mind numbing how good this bike actually is great handling comfortable and faasstt. i got it up to 260 klick's today a couple of times tomorrow it's getting the big test flatout high speed run 290 should be possible it absolutly flies and it's effortless what a ride. i think i've boldly stepped into the ninties boy's. i'll let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Hey, congrats man!

I felt the same when when I got my 1100 Katana last year.

Word of caution:
Be extra observant of your speed, it's amazing how quickly these "sport/touring" bikes can reach well north of the posted speed limit and how smoothly it feels.

very nice...congrats...be safe....

That Great TB33! I'm glad you got the chance to get out on it this year. I had my mk2 up to 200 kph on one of the few straight stretches around here. Luckily for me I had slowed down to 130 when they got me on radar(90 k zone). So yeah, be mindful of that speed and have fun.

Me too....but that is the 1890's....


Just bustin' TB I really think it is a classic line. I'd like a tee shirt with it on it.

My bikes 27-37 years old.

:lol: :laugh:

spoke to soon i guess somebody is looking out for me after all the weather has turned crappy again so the high speed run is on hold i did figure out something out yesterday the only way i won't get tickets (and big ones i might add) is one of two ways throttle lock or radar detector. up till this point i like certain people on here have a fleet of oldies earlist 1973 newest 1981 with many in between. this new fangled technology is cool but i still love my old girls. patton nice wanted poster you might need a better picture for the next one.

Do we have a picture of this bike yet? Roy

why yes we do

nice bike...those and the katana 1100....sweet rides in their day and still sweet today....

I think it is dirty :laugh: you really need to polish it. Roy
