KAWASAKI NINJA Z1100
Very good looking, 1100cc, beast performance, perfect seating position, i hit 200kmph easily on this beast, so good comfort and in thinking about changeing silencer to increase the power and performance. Don't expect mileage from this bike because this is not mileage bike. This is built for performance and comfortable ride, so far so good this bike and it's breaking system is absolutely perfect. Overall amazing bike. Yes, of course I recommend this bike , as far as they can afford it. But one final thing that is if you really need a high performance, good comfort and look attractive and 1100 cc capacity, you can buy this beast.
