So.
In 1997 Kawasaki had a multitude of large, powerful bikes you could buy. You had the ZX-11D, the ZRX1100R, the ZG1000, the ZX-9R, in some markets you could still get the GPZ900R...
... and then you had this thing (which to be 100% clear, is not any of the above bikes), the ZX1100E/GPZ1100. This particular example is badged as a "ZXR1100" which I'm not sure is legit but I'll leave that alone. Now I can still turn up some period reviews of it of course, but I'm more interested in anybody here that can clearly remember the market at the time - why did this bike exist? It seems like one of the other bikes above would be better at whatever you could hope to be using it for.
