KZ vs ZN

I have always been a KZ man from since the early 70's
I thought the 900 & 1000 were the best looking bikes I had
ever seen (and still think that way). But Dam! The ZN has a
beautiful flowing style.

I had to ask as Kawasaki produced ZN700, ZN1100, and ZN1300's. Yeah, I think the ZN1100 is a nice looking bike also. Kawasaki got the styling correct, but by then the corporate folks had decided to drop the in-line four cruisers and transition to the V-twins. Same fundamental motor as all the earlier shaft 1100's. Not too many ZN1100's assembled...probably less than 5000 total for 1984/1985.

Think I will keep an eye out for one.
I really like the look of this ride.
PS: Not a fan of V twins.
