  • Taking the Kawasaki ZRX1200R out for a ride to freshen her up a little. The bike has been sitting for a while so it involved a bit of carb cleaning and while the carbs aren't at 100%, she still rips.

    Definitely needs a tiny bit of cleaning up on the bottom end, but anything past about a quarter throttle and it wants to PARTY! What a perfect machine!

      Yeah I can’t wait to get it in the dyno and really dial it in perfectly.

    I ended up replacing the flat slides with stock carbs on the blue ZRX I bought from you. It’s much smoother now.

      Yes these bikes can be found cheap if you look hard enough, you will spend coin for all the mods but still not much compared to the HD stuff I normally do.

    I'm mid-build on an 01' 1200R. If you've got the money, they're an incredibly flexible platform. You did good getting one with the good stuff done already.

      The ZRX definitely has a good bit of torque for a sport bike. Most 4cyl bikes need to be rung out to feel the power, these things feel great at 5k-7k

      ​@thecutrate1 I can't disagree with you on that at all, my buddy always had the itch for the vmax from the 80s after reading all the bike mags about the power when it would open up, he finally got one and rode it and never felt what they wrote about back then and then we he took my bike and came back he understood exactly what I meant

    This bike was always in my top 5 badass. I never loved the swingarm. I saw some converted to standard crotch bike monoshock swingarm and it became my number 1. So f badass. Mid Missouri MotorCycles. Midmomc dot kham. On the home page, about 3/4 down is a blue ZRX. Cluck that and a bunch of pics of ZRXs in assorted colors that have been converted come up. The braced arm they use looks killer, and the Renthal sprocket is killer, too. It is THE PERFECT ZRX.
