Having test ridden a GSX1400 prior to buying the ZRX1200, all I can say is I TOTALLY agree with you :D .

That's great news Phil! It means you are feeling loads better obviously! :D Enjoy the new steed! Make sure the guys you go riding with get a good long look at the front of the ZRX before departing...it'll be the last time they see it till the car park! :lol:

yep, feeling much better thanks mate :D , bout the only time i'm having trouble is trying to sleep :( , rib cartlidge is still a little sore......although i have made it into the bed from the lounge, thats a start.

Cant wait to unleash the weapon - oh and the zrx too :shock: :wink: :lol:

I think some people doubt how fast they are without really having to try all that hard - some fool in a falcon XR found out the hard way on thursday :wink:

i just thought i'd mention the zrx now has M3's front and rear, steers much nicer now but after inspecting the tyre after this mornings return run i'll be interested to see how long it going to last :shock:

felt alot more confident in corners leaning it over.

BTW had a good ride yesterday arvo with the hoff, the zx12 and zrx12 making light work of the saturday arvo traffic......

i really love my zrx

I've had my ZRX1200S since 2001, it now has 68000km on the clock. It has never missed a beat (had the cams redone). Crossed the Nularbor and back three times without a hitch. I use Pirelli Diablo Stradas.
