Bought Eddie, my 08 ZRX new five years ago. 59000km and still going strong and luvvin it. Bought another ZRX (Eduardo) on ebay last week at a ridiculous price that I couldn't pass up. It is an 01 and is a little scruffy but is cleaning up well with lower kms than Eddie-52000km. Previous owner painted anything he could gold- grabrails, fuel cap, footpegs and brackets. Ghey! Also has fat bars that are gone as soon as standard risers turn up from the US. Turns out I now have the first and last carby ZRX12. Pretty stoked.




Need a few standard bits if anyone has them for sale cheap too.

Nice if you want those old fat bars to find a new home I would be happy to provide one

Hey Gos we might be able to do some swapsies. Do you have any ZRX bits????

What price constitutes a ridiculous price?

Not sure I want to say coz I may resell it at a later date, but about a quarter what it is worth.... Dude selling it thought the head gasket was gone and sold it for bugger all. Nuffin wrong with the head gasket.

I was thinking someone may want to swap it for a first gen z1000 in green too. (03 or 04)

not a sausage mate - never owned one. Have been under serious pressure from The Old Farts Club from time to time (mainly around CDT time ) to buy one of these - may do so one day........

I remember taking the first one - the 1100 with the frame-mounted half-fairing - for a test ride many years ago. I was riding the Pearl to work every day at this time, it could have been as far back as 1998 or 1999 ?? I also remember thinking that 'this bike doesn't really do anything better than the Pearl except it has better brakes and pulls out of corners faster'

I would like to get original front and rear brake master cylinder caps and clutch master cylinder caps back to original. Has some ZX bling ones on. Have temporarily fitted er6 cap to rear. Same one. I guess lotsa kwakas run the same caps.

Nice one ! My ZRX is up on Bribie Island with a mate...... waiting for me to get back in January!

It almost ended up out your way with Neil...... I am o/s for a year.... so needed somewhere for it to hibernate....and get the odd run....

F#%@ me dead... never thought I'd see my name posted anywhere in Australia! I do like the bikes so I more than approve it!

He didn't mean Eddie he's obviously talking about this

Will have to catch up one day Swabio. I hardly see Neil- I'm always working weekends.

Nice pickup mate

BTW thanks to Matt from here who I bought mirrors and radiator shrouds from a few weeks ago. Both are on this bike now- it had fully polished rad shrouds that looked shit and cheapo ebay mirrors with indicators in them which looked equally shit.

hahahaha Not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm sure...

At least if it was 'Ghey' I'd have a better chance with Telstra getting ir right... my bills have varied from 'Aldoardow' to 'El Doardo' to 'Ed wardow'.
