Mmmmmmmmmmm

This is what known as a "blank canvas" I think there are probably several members who would/should be after this. Is like a guy I work with who is quite heavily tattod, he gets jealous when I talk about what I'm gonna get next.

Same as I see someone get a new Rex and wish it was mine - so I could do the modding thang again - there is not much left for me to do except start on the mota. And we all know there is no logical reason to do that.......but since when has logic had anything to do with mororcycles.

Your in Sydney, perhaps you need to come anjd have a look at my Rex and tell me that it doesnt "stir your loins" - after you've seen it in person Also, as a former 9 owner I know your pain.

I have two quotes for you in relation to the ZRX, 1, "the ZRX - best blank canvas for creating your own ride. I have the contacts to make this happen. Only limit is your imagination /

2, "The ZRX, more then the sum of its parts"

I'm not responsible for either - nor am I responsible.

Eg: the rex despite it's weight changes direction rapidly, has immense ground clearance, holds a line OK once on it's side, has the bottom and mid to make it easy to travel rapidly without having to flog it, but us a little top heavy, doesn't pull up all that well and the suspension struggles on bumpy roads.
So NOW tell me how the Z goes Phil.

Its light, it changes direction much quicker than the ZRX, has not nuch bottom end under about 4, just like the 9 (well, compared to a zrx it fells like there isnt much) Once the engine spins over 6K its very lively and spins up very quickly. Maybe not so in std form - but mine is not std. Even Harv who rides with us and has an 03 Zed rode mine and was blown away how different it felt to his. Mine doesnt like bumpy roads too much, gets a bit nervous and flighty ATM (but I know how to fix that - just havent had the time). Disco has also ridden mine back to back with his 09 - they are very different.

Now when you come up to shout me those cutlets and pick up your brake lines have a go and see for yourself

Does it have as much ground clearance as a Well set up Rex?
