New to the forum. I am the new owner of Purple Passion (well - as of about 4 years ago) - but just now getting out into the forum world. I know the guy that built this bike was (or still is) a member on this page - and I just wanted to let them know that the bike is doing great, and living just outside of Atlanta, Ga. Think the gentleman's name was Steve Smith. Anyways - here she is in her present state. Would like to converse with Steve and let him know what a fantastic job he did on this bike. From what I read, it was his brother Paul that built it, but regardless - she's a beaut - and fast as the bejeezus!

That's Steve Smith's old bike alright, good to see it went to someone who can appreciate it.
His brother Paul is technically still a member here, his handle is smithgpz (all lower case), but I haven't seen him post in years, his last login was in 2010.
Oh, and welcome aboard.
Edit: Did some googling, think I found Steve, his email is there in case you want to contact him:

Even the arm wrenching GPz1100 always comes with the tagline 'but what you can get with a 600 supersports now'.
Strictly speaking, it is a zx750 turbo, the GPz bit gets added on but never by kawasaki.
