Description
Click here for an VINData Motorcycle History Report on this 1990 Kawasaki ZX-11. Additional photos are available here for your perusal.
When it was introduced in 1990, the Kawasaki ZX-11 was the fastest production motorcycle in the world. Part of that came from the fact that it was the first production motorcycle with a ram-air intake, which helped the 1,052cc inline four engine produce a claimed 145 horsepower and 80 ft-lbs of torque.
In a period review, Cycle World said, “Now two years old, the Kawasaki ZX-11 Ninja is still the baddest, meanest, flat-nastiest motorcycle available. Forget about the other big-bore sportbikes: They’re all slow.”
Despite its immense performance, the Ninja ZX-11 was noted for being easy to ride and easy to maintain, which enabled it to have a lengthy production run that lasted until 2001.
This example is VIN: JKAZXBC12LB500389. The seller purchased the bike in the Charlotte, North Carolina region one year ago.
During his ownership the seller has covered approximately 500 miles. The odometer shows 7,002 miles.
Maintenance:
The seller states, “The motor was dragging when I purchased the bike. The motor since then has been bored over 1mm and fitted with all new gaskets. Additionally the carburetors were rebuilt and synced properly. The forks seals have been replaced and so have the tires. She is a rider and pulls like a freight train.”
He adds that “I believe the paint to be original, though the right-side decal has been removed.”
Modifications:
Aftermarket windscreen.
Vance & Hines full system exhaust.
Corbin seat.
Inside of the tank:
It is riding on Dunlop Sportmax Roadsport Z tires with date codes of 0523 and 1223.
