B2 refers to a 1982 GPZ. Maybe check again what year GPZ you have.

barney is correct...if you have a 1983 model, then you have a ZX1100-A1, not a (K)Z1100-B2 (1982) model. Both are commonly called GPz1100's. The motors are similar but much else is very different between the two models. If you have the 1983 ZX model, then you'll need two manuals...the base manual and the ZX supplemental manual. If you have the Z1100-B2 model, then you'll only need one manual (the base manual).

I checked on the registration document says it was registered in 1983
but comparing the information in my possession and a lot of pictures and documents on the Internet is a GPZ 1100 B2,
to help you understand the registration document shows the displacement of 1090cc,engine type KZT 10 BE,
There is no front fairing
The front headlight is rectangular and not round
on the tank close to the saddle there are two grooves the shape is similar to a rectangle not ellipse .
I wanted to ask you one other information my bike is painted all black, on the internet I found pictures showing this coloration, but not a single document ,most of that reports that the common paint is red or red with gold,
the question is is normal that the pain is all black? You thinck that is the original coulor? :blink:

Without seeing a photo, it sounds as though you have an early model GPz1100...the fact that it is missing the front fairing, suggests you might even have a 1981 model, which came without a fairing. The information on the frame will indicate what year/model you have, not the engine VIN. The frame VIN can be checked against several on-line lists for model/year determination...or you can post it here and someone will ID it for you. BTW, in Europe, the 1981 GPz1100 came in red, the 1982 came in red and in gold, never in black. Yours had been repainted.

Yes, you have a 1981 GPz1100 also called a Z1100-B1. You need a single base manual...either of these will work:
Kawasaki Service Manual Part Number 99924-1026-01 or 99924-1026-02. Both are available used on eBay...both are available as reprints from www.e-classicbike.com and at least one of the above (perhaps both) is available as a free pdf download (not sure of the website).
