Done about 150kms on it so far, its a real hoot, feel like a tank commander or something its just huge, with suspension a little on the soft side but all in all a great package.

heres some pics.

thats a nice looking bike

I considered one when I purchased the Hornet, but the weight put me off. But it is a noice looking bike. It always brings memories of early eighties racing flooding back. Kerker still make pipes???? :lol:

looks great mate, Its great to see another ZRX in the club in sydney.
Good luck taming the beast, it would feel like a tank after any 6.
I'm sure youll get used to it, and have it singing through the twisties in no time.

Yes the suspension does need adjustment out of the factory, however the hardware will allow a wide range of settings for you to play with.
I trust you have dabbled in http://www.zrxoa.org ,

Enjoy, and I cant wait to see it on a ride,

BTW, go Micron...... :wink:

About time we had another rexer on here well done, i've just ripped off my old rear fender and put on the small clear indicators looks a lot cleaner at the rear now

Good onya Matchan, 'bout time you got a mans bike!

BTW - the Kerkers are now built by supertrapp and aren't nearly as good as the original kerkers.

Have a look at Muzzy's http://muzzys.com/ZRX-1200/mods/index.html
