          OK, so what does this BMW have that ZZR1100 (ZX11) doesn't?

          I think I like kawa better... at least the new ZZR1200.

              hmmm it has...

              a lot more weight
              a much higher price
              heated seat and grips
              electric windshield
              less horsepower
              more comfort
              reverse gear!
              6 cd changer

              just offhand

                  Eh, well... my dad said 300ccm is more than enuff for a bike.
                  I don't think he ever rode anything that small... WWII zundapps and BMWs 750, and that's it. Maybe a military falcone 500.
                  As soon as my 11 starts... I'll have to find a safe place for the keys.

                      The ZZR-1200 riding position is way over forward,more rocket than touring. A coworker has one and its in crotch rocket configuration. Thats one down side for the ZZR,but its a sleek pretty machine. It has a good powerplant, thats for sure. But that BMW is very nice,,thanks for the eye candy Gary.
