- Methinks you've rested your case too soon. Check out the wonderful purple
- & orange paint scheme on the '93 European model. Gack! I can only assume
- that Kawasaki takes the Europeans for colorblind art critics.

- Could be the noble British censorship board at work too. Use of the word
- "ninja" seems to be some sort of crime against the queen over there.
- Ever hear of the kiddie movie "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles"? What's
- next, the letter "X"? Too late! I think the censors already got that one
- too. The ZX-11 is a ZZR-1100 over there.
