I know its on a DAEG, but it IS the same engine - so would fit a ZRX1200 Aus spec

Not at the moment - but it does look good :? Never say never - especially when it comes to the ZRX.

I wonder what the new frame is like? Perhaps it might be an option when I eventually bend this one beyond it's ability to bounce back! :lol:
If I were to criticise the ZRX in an area, it would most likely be frame flex. If you are not unltra smooth, it does tend to hinge a little in the middle somewhere. Mind you, you have to be applying some mighty high turn speed in combination with a lot of throttle to get it to do it. But, A little more middle rigidity in the frame wouldn't hurt. Mind you, the new tank probably means that the old tank won't fit on the new frame, as well as the injection stuff being a little different in shape to the venerable CV's on the current rex. I kinda like the look of the current one a little more than the new one. It sends more memories of ELR's to me than the new one does. 8)

Me too, all ours need is the ZX14/GTR engine with real world grunt (like below 4-5K).

I don't know about the GTR 14 grunt bit Phil.

After riding the Z1000, GTR & the ZX14 last year & then riding the ZRX home, I felt the GTR was under powered all over the rev range for the weight it lugs, does handle the weight well however.

The ZX14 did not particuarly impress me under 3500 rpm either, after that it was nice, handling felt great on our Mackay goat tracks, gotta luv that long wheelbase stability.

Riding home on the ZRX, I felt all I was really missing was suspension & 1 more gear ABOVE 5th. Power wise, only the ZX14 left my ZRX feeling a little wanting :D .

That was before your suspension upgrade then ;) . That is one area my ZRX does not feel lacking in :kuda:

Yep, Check your ZRXOA messages... I'm waiting for a cost quote from Drew before I commit. I've sent him an email, so I should know soon.
