ZRX1200 Brief ride impressions.

Post by Strika »

Had the good fortune to have a ride on a ZRX1200 today. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Noice! :D I lurved it!!!!! It is different to the Hornet, but it really fcukin suited me! :) 1/3 of the way up reefton I was giggling in my helmet with childish amusement! :lol:

It won't go from full lean to full lean as quick as the Hornet, but once laid over it holds a really tight line. And the brakes and suspension was mint. Dunno what some Journo's are on about, it's suspension was horn. Mind you it was set up by Balanse himself, who just may know a thing or two about how to set up a muddaboik! :wink:

Oh and that Muzzy Mega phone exhaust is just sex on your ears! :D

Flip the eccentrics and you wont have a prob going full lean side to side.
I found the suspension great as well, plenty of adjustment possible.

What you runnin as suspension set up balanse?
Also what have you found to be most suitable tyres. Ive heard the bridgies, 20 rear 14 front is good?
show us pics too.

I would have if they had some decent dealers! :( I need a Kawasaki fix. I gotta get that 6 going soon. I am hanging for a real proper brain out thrash on a track. You know the shit bricks thru every turn stuff! :lol:
