About the bike
1996 Kawasaki ZZ-R1100D4
The 1993 ZZ-R1100D1 was a heavily revised version of the model. Power increased by 20 bhp, largely through a redesigned ram-air system with twin front intakes in place of the C model's single slot. It also received a redesigned fairing, a larger 24-litre tank, a new seat and tail unit, an all-new frame with a visible rear subframe casting, and a fuel gauge.
For 1996, the ZZ-R1100D4 brought colour and graphics changes. Available in red or green, the full-power model was claimed to produce 147 bhp, enough to make the ZZ-R the world's fastest production motorcycle at the time.
