This is Kawasaki's Zephyr 1100RS( retro style) that never came to the States.Same as the Zephyr that did but it had a stock paint job that was close to the 1975 Z1 and spoke wheels !! Rumor has it that Kawasaki's new Retro Z900RS may look similar to this bike !!! I took the picture last week in the motorcycle shop in Narita Japan that I visit on layovers !!! This bike is rare and while there are a million Zephyrs in Japan this is only the second time in over 20 years that I have seen and actual Zephyr 1100RS in person !!! The original bike had upswept stock pipes.This bike had a aftermarket exhaust on it !!!

sold new in my country but not with retro paint

Here in the UK we only got the first version of the spoke wheel Zephyr ZR100 (ZR1100-B1)
The Japanese home market got another 4 versions of the spoke wheel bike with
the last model in 2002 the ZR1100-B5
Picture is of a B1 model.

^^^^ looks good

It looks really nice, but it seems the wet weight is 586 lbs. That kills any interest I would have had in it.

Yeah, that is crazy heavy.....and one of the reasons I stepped back from the original Z1 when it came out, which, even then, was "only" about 520 or so!
