First short shakedown ride completed....gently, gently...
Oh my. the torque...I can see this will be fun.
AND such a comfortable ride for my poor bones.

When I used to have a 9 and a ZRX the 9 felt like a GP bike
Glad to hear its going well mate, I am SURE you will love the ZRX, for the life of me I do not know whay they still dont bring them here for sale, there are no bikes like them available in the Kawasaki range anymore and that is an oversight. Especially when they have the DAEG in Japan

Same here. I know people rave about them but everyone should have a ride on one.
Bit like driving a V8 after a 6cyl car.
Will do a few 100km or so runs and then do a lap of the 'big hill' if I can find a cooler day.

I get back on my ZRX after riding the ZX10 for ages and it feels gutless, heavy and hard to steer; but it is also like riding a lounge chair.

After riding (seldom) DRZ400 it's got plenty of poke.
Santa arrived early (today) with these...

You're on the slippery slope of ZRX customisation there John, be careful

Nice mate. You'll be happy with them but there's one problem.......once you have decent back springs it shows the shortcomings in the front, then it's a very slippery slope old mate
It's a shitload of fun along the way though.
