2005 Kawasaki ZRX1200R from United States of America

Summary:

Great motorcycle that I will definitely keep

Faults:

No mechanical issues with my ZRX so far.

General Comments:

The ZRX1200R is a very quick but heavy motorcycle. The roll-on acceleration is addictive. With careful throttle input it can be very nice at slow speeds. Turn in is excellent with Michelin tires.

The only thing I've done to my ZRX is regular maintenance, add a fuel stabilizer to the gas to protect the carbs, and change tires. Other than this, I've had no issues at all with it.

The seat is my only complaint. Very uncomfortable if you plan to spend the day riding. I have a Sargent Solo seat on order.

2005 Kawasaki ZRX1200R from United States of America

Summary:

The ZXR1200R is perhaps the most versatile and capable motorcycle in the world for the money

Faults:

No problems to date. Only required factory maintenance performed.

General Comments:

Typical Kawasaki reliability. Very strong engine with a load of torque for effortless low rpm operation.

Fit and finish are excellent. Retro look and modern engineering at its finest. Great riding position.

Brakes work well, but require some effort to bring the bike to a quick stop.

The transmission shifts very well, but has a fairly abrupt initial engagement from neutral into first gear.

Gas mileage is outstanding with typical 45-50 mpg returns with light to moderate throttle input. Perhaps the most bike you can get for the money. A shame it's no longer available in this country.

2005 Kawasaki ZRX1200R from United Kingdom

Summary:

No sports bike, but awesome in its own way

Faults:

No faults at all.

General Comments:

Very quick bike, but a little heavy.

Great for distance riding.

You gotta fit a FUEL can, as the sound is awesome.

A lot quicker than the XJR1300 that I traded in for it. It handles better too.
