About the M95, the Kawasaki Mean Steak is the same bike. Suzuki and Kawasaki had an agreement where they would rebrand some of each other's bikes. Suzuki got the M95 from the Mean Streak and Kawasaki got the KLX400 from the DRZ400, etc.

If she wants the bobtail style fender (what the M50 and M95 have), there are a few other models that have that style such as the V-Star 1100 Custom.

The ZZR600 is supposed to be somewhat a "sport-touring" bike. If your girlfriend isn't comfortable on it for long distances, then a new bike may be in order, but if she is happy on the ZZR for long distance and there is no other reason to get a cruiser, she should keep the ZZR.
Stay away from the VSTAR 1100 that was my last bike and is much slower and much lower MPG also it is carburated and had significant trouble going through the mountains.
