the king LIVES, long live the king

[Phil]

I picked up the mighty zrx1200, king of the kawasaki naked bikes after its visit to the good people at Flywheels.

I just simply cannot put into words how good the ohlins make the bike feel. combined with the extra bling of the polished rims it is just ready and waiting for the trip to mecca starting next wednesday.

here are some pics i took.

A big thanks to Ron and all his staff at Flywheels for their excellent service and workmanship, it is certainly not something we usually associate with the motorcycle indutry and is a welcome change. Also a big thanks to Steve Cramer and Steve Mudford at Ohlins foe the great service and advice.

Great stuff Phil.

Listening to Ride Rage last week I couldn't help noticing the lead story in a week where Casey Stoner wrapped up the Championship was "Phil gets the ZRX back"

Yes and yes......althought tim will be "learning again" after having not ridden for the last 8 weeks or so.

I had a strange hunch that Phil would put the 'after' pics of the zrx on the ksrc site.
It looks sensational in the day and night photos mate, look forward to seeing it for real, hopefully this Sunday.
Your 9 is the ugly sister now !!!!!!!!
