Having test ridden a GSX1400 prior to buying the ZRX1200, all I can say is I TOTALLY agree with you

That's great news Phil! It means you are feeling loads better obviously!

Enjoy the new steed! Make sure the guys you go riding with get a good long look at the front of the ZRX before departing...it'll be the last time they see it till the car park!

yep, feeling much better thanks mate

, bout the only time i'm having trouble is trying to sleep

, rib cartlidge is still a little sore......although i have made it into the bed from the lounge, thats a start.

Cant wait to unleash the weapon - oh and the zrx too

I think some people doubt how fast they are without really having to try all that hard - some fool in a falcon XR found out the hard way on thursday

So how did it go Phil?????? Cause I reckon if you can put up with the ZRX, then I can get by on the Beemer!

i was fanfarkingtastic.....soooooo much grunt, even managed a little wheelie, didnt have to rev it past 2500rpm for that

i was having a ball AND i was comfy, ribs were starting to hurt CAUSE I WAS LAUGHING SO MUCH

Excellent stuff, I am glad you got that ride out of the way......doin' wheelies already ? Look out !!!

The chopped crap-flap looks *way* better.......

i just thought i'd mention the zrx now has M3's front and rear, steers much nicer now but after inspecting the tyre after this mornings return run i'll be interested to see how long it going to last

felt alot more confident in corners leaning it over.

BTW had a good ride yesterday arvo with the hoff, the zx12 and zrx12 making light work of the saturday arvo traffic......

i really love my zrx

I've had my ZRX1200S since 2001, it now has 68000km on the clock. It has never missed a beat (had the cams redone). Crossed the Nularbor and back three times without a hitch. I use Pirelli Diablo Stradas.

Seem to go ok.....

If I was into those kind of bikes, i would probably buy a gsx1400 though

i owned a GSX1400K5 & purchased aZRX1200R 4 weeks ago . the ZRX will wipe the floor with my old GSX1400 ..
