I picked this up on the weekend, it has books etc and is in great condition. I took it for a ride along the south coast and up the Clyde - my first impression is that everyone should own a ZRX :lol: Here are a couple of pics:

i also see you didn't do the loop you intended to do, how long til you realise you will lose your license on this as well and go back to a gs500f, two up on that will save your plastic :P

It was just too cold - Brown Mtn was covered in ice, and the locals told me that Darragh etc would still be soaking wet. I went up the Clyde on the way home, but there was heaps of Canberra traffic so I couldn't get a decent run. I won't lose my licence, this bike can be fun without being flogged. I'm sensible now :lol:

Nice work Johnno, I wondered when you would be posting up a picture of your latest toy here !! Plenty of ZRex lovers here, and some who can peddle these bikes along *at a fair clip* thankyou very much !! :lol: :lol:

You'll have to do the WSB run with the KSRC crew in Feb/March next year mate, keep that weekend free for some real good Snowy Mountains Hwy action.....

I just took it for a ride through some of my secret testing roads - this bike was made for me. The previous owner left some pretty big chicken strips - I removed them on freezing (and I mean freezing - it's snowing less than 20kms away) cold tyres without even trying! The pegs were still a few inches off the ground, so it could be ridden a fair bit harder. Third gear is suitable for any occasion. I really love this bike love4.gif Unfortunately I think I might've warped a front disc whilst testing the stoppie power, as the lever pulses a little when braking now. It's not that bad though, so I'll live with it for a while.

Yeah, I'm actually kind of keen to go back there and get revenge on it or something. In unrelated news, I got a new matching lavender shirt and tie combo last night :lol:
