The ZX-11 was a sports motorcycle made by Kawasaki from 1990 to 2001 and was also known as the ZZ-R1100. The bike replaced the ZX-10 model in 1990 and was replaced by the ZX-12C in 2001.

The Kawasaki ZX-11 was the fastest production bike with a top speed of 272-283 kph (169-176 mph) since its introduction until 1996 when the Honda CBR 1100XX was introduced with a top speed of 270-290 kph (170-180 mph).

The bike was fitted with standard features, like a full fairing with a medium-sized windscreen, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab rail, a dual exhaust system with a silencer on each side, and lightweight three-spoke aluminum wheels.

The bike's backbone was a pressed aluminum perimeter frame with a 43 mm preload and rebound-adjustable telescopic fork on the front, offering 120 mm wheel travel and a fully adjustable shock absorber on the rear with 112 mm wheel travel, delivering optimum suspension performance and handling.

The bike's wheels were fitted with two 320 mm discs coupled to four-piston calipers on the front and a 240 mm disc tied to a single-piston caliper on the rear, providing optimum braking performance.

In the performance department, the 1994 Kawasaki ZX-11 had its soul brought to life by a 1,052cc four-stroke liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine, boasting 147 hp with a peak force at 10,500 rpm and 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) torque at 8,500 rpm.
