I don't know about the dinky little Zephyr's, but the 1100 (now
the ZR1100) looks alot like my '76 Z1/ KZ900! The one I drooled over
at Tri-Sports in Topsham, ME was a looker!
Yes, Mercury axed the Zephyr name. Guess a lot of aging Republicans
wanted a Zephyr and confused the Mercury with the Kawasaki :). Oh
well, they're better off with the Kawasaki anyways. Maybe it'll shake the
stick out of their asses and make Libertarians out of them!
As to the GPz <--> Zephyr, the only GPz I've seen had the ball-buster
gas tank profile, not the smooth saddle - to - gas tank transition.
_Motorcyclist_ claims the Zephyr / ZR is the modernized Z1 (KZ) from the
seventies.
