zephyr 1100

I must admit I'd like to get my hands on one. There are so many bikes that don't make the North American market as the OEMS seem to be blind in thinking everyone wants just sportbikes and cruisers. I'm curious if the new Honda Retro CB makes the USA shores.

There is a Zephyr 1100 for sale in central Oklahoma. It comes with an extra engine with a bad second gear. Says engine in the bike is fine with 10k miles.

Nomenclature: ZR1100 A-2 (no A-1, but hey, it's probably a "New York Steak" thing:pinch: ) Get it? A-1? Steak? Project New York Steak? :blink:

Geez, sometimes I kill myself...

Did you know "New York Steak" was a code name for the 73 Z1 ?

True enough, but I'm surprized that more of them don't leak south of the US northern border...Canada got the 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995 ZR1100's

I had no idea that the Canadians got it for that many years. It stuns me how different the Japanese consider our two markets...must know what they're doing, though.:dry:
