Despite only having one disk on the front that looks like an old ZZR1000, were they named differently in the US?

The ZZR600 used to be called the ZX-6 (without the R) until about '05 or '06 when they replaced the old ZZR shape with the J series 02-spec ZX-6R...then they started calling the bike a ZZR600.

Hadn't spotted the disc (too busy dry retching, I suppose). It's a GPZ1100, sold in the US as a ZX1100E; detuned ZZR1100 engine, different cams and carbs, shorter wheelbase...

Doesn't look too bad for a mid-90s bike. The ZX-11 mentioned in the advert would make sense given the ZX-6/ZZR600 naming.

I am assuming you have seen dragbikes and are asking why someone would do this to a road bike when they arent going to drag it ?

One look at the guy on the bike answers all the questions. I asked a guy who did this to a zx14 what about going around corners and he said we don't have any corners here for 200 miles!

Yeah - it's not like a race-replica, where at least you can reap the benefits whenever and wherever you ride. Once you've done the drag-rep bling-king thing, it's going to handle like crap.
