2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R
Summary:
Top of the range Muscle-bike for the experienced rider
Faults:
Nothing has gone wrong with this fine machine.
General Comments:
This would have to be the best muscle-bike on the market.
The instant power and superb handling make it very comfortable to ride. The front suspension could be a little firmer, however.
The seat is wide and well padded, making long trips a breeze.
I have added a slightly taller screen to reduce buffeting.
The bike is fitted with a Giannelli exhaust can, and a Dynojet kit.
There is an huge quantity of aftermarket bits available.
I have owned a number of fast bikes over the years, but this bike scores top marks for all round use. It is equally at home as a commuter or fun bike.
The cost of ownership is about average for its class.
I would not recommend this bike to beginners, as it is relatively heavy, and powerful. It is very easy to spin the back wheel or pop a mono.
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Yes
