The ZRX1200, 1200S and 1200R are three versions of
the same bike. the only difference are the fairing or lack of
fairing and the instruments. Kawasaki have in resent years made a
lot of "retro" bikes and the ZRX1200 a modern copy of the muscle
bikes from the 80s. First out is the ZRX1200 the one without any
fairing at all, you can see it at the pictures at left. For those
who want to feel the wind pressure at high speed and the look of a
classic muscle bike. Only in black for 2003. |

They may look some different but
the three bikes are very similar, all have the same frame, wheels,
suspension and engine.
The ZRX1200R’s engine is based on the mighty Kawasaki NINJA
ZZR1100, ZX-11 power plant The engine is
tuned with emphasis on low- and mid-range rpm performance. The ZRX1200R engine
features electroplated cylinders, which transfer heat much quicker than steel,
allowing tighter tolerances to be utilized to generate more power. Pistons with
concave domes are found in the lightweight, all-aluminium cylinder block. This
translates to a user-friendly street personality and amazing roll-on
performance on the highway |
