New ZRX 1200 is on the way, ZRX1200D

[bonester]

That's precisely why I jumped at the first opportunity to buy one when I could, Mick.

the new weight has gone up i believe because of a change in the way the weight is being measured... some continuing models showed a weight jump in the face of no revisions what so ever...

[snowymountainsmick]

Maybe it is no longer dry weight they are quoting. It may be the result of a standards thing.

I reckon the weight they quote should be oiled up, but not gassed up or with a standard amount of fuel, say 10 or 15litres. That would give you a better idea. I'll expound further when I do not have so much vino on board (don't worry, the ZRX is locked up and the alarm is on).

I love the way my 05 rex looks, especially in Muzzy green and with a full Muzzy system. A new injected six-speed Rex is going to be pretty good. Strika has a point: a lighter pipe and remap would largely solve the weight and power issue. I would be dissapointed if Kawasaki fell for the Suzuki 1250 Bandit trap: more weight and less power means that the 1250 Bandit is almost an answer to a question nobody asked. Anyhow, any Rex is a keeper no matter which one ya get. Now, how can I convince the wife-accountant to let me have two Rexs? PS: does anybody have the definitive carb set-up for a Rex with Muzzy and stock airbox? I would like to avoid a lot of stuffing about. Woof.........

mate, if i can find the details, i will let you know what i had on mine before it went to the gods

i had an 03 with a full muzzy system, k&n filter, removed the inner snorkle bits and after a rejet it was a smooth run up to 126.2hp at the wheel. quite potent! and ran 11.6 at the creek (even with my solid frame!).

i belive the 2 centre carbs went up a jet size, the outters stayed the same and the balance was adjusted. thats it.

Ah the ZRX1200.. the best bike I will never be able to own/fit in my garage.. Hopefully there's still some EL reps available when I get older..

Thanks, Thumpa: any experience and good ideas will help me out. Cheers, Woof........

mate, dont sweat on it. the big K sold a bucket load and there is bound to be a good one or two lying about idle when the time comes. Keep smiling, there's a Rex around the corner!

Im going for a Versys for now then will search for a nice modded ZRX again in a couple of years.

I wounder if the new ZRX1200 will be upgraded to 6 gears, I hope so, I remember taking one for a blast back in early 2007 and found myself searching for sixth gear.
