My favorite bike of all - so good I bought 2, and did over 200,000 miles on them. This bike could do anything.

Thanks it sure it's a fine bike, also quite bulletproof, never had issue with it so far, but I seldomly ride anymore, so I have our four sale...

I’ve got a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R and I love it. Mine has the smaller square bikini faring. Less wind protection than yours but still a lot of fun to ride.

It sure is a nice bike, specially the "R", still own it but less time to ride it

@aikidragonpiper71 Жыл бұрын

@@GoFoggy Your bike has the perfect faring for sport touring. Mine I have to tuck down on a windy day. I bought mine new and I've put 50,000 miles on it and it still roars down the highway. Mine is the classic Kawasaki green very much the modern Eddie Lawson replica bike. Plenty fast with a jet kit ,k&n air filter and Two Brothers slip on racing pipe. The ZRX engine is a detuned but bored up ZX11 Ninja engine so it can be tweaked up to be very fast. At one time the ZX11 Ninja was the fastest production motorcycle until the Honda Blackbird then of course the Suzuki Hayabusa.

@@aikidragonpiper71 thatsa nice piece of history on yours Mr.Hillbilly. I've bought mine from a real Kawasist about 5yrs ago. Guy also owned a Lawson replica and an other 1100 and lots of stuff. Mine was the holiday bike of this guy (also like Isle of Mann trips) and had run about 35.000kms, now approaching 50k. When I started riding and racing Dutch cups it was all Kawasaki but later on lots of ducati and other brands like Laverda and even Voxan. I stopped racing in my early fiftees, sold all other bikes and got this one. Except normal diy maintenance it cost me zero euros, so easy to ride strong bike!

@RT22-pb2pp 11 ай бұрын

Great bike but to big for me smaller versions are great also thought the zzr600 is great smaller sport touring more comfortable version of zx6r and can get used at half the price and in town better ride just not as fast top end and to 100 as full sport bike, looks less flashy but great bikes.

@dene1196 5 ай бұрын

Looking to buy one, but it is difficult to find one with no or little modifications and in good shape. I have a 2003 FZ1000, would like to add this bike to my collection.

@GoFoggy 5 ай бұрын

I've sold mine few months ago, was a great bike but after some years of not that much use it lacked something for me personally. Not really looking for the next bike, but if... it will be Italian (again).

Hi, good video, nice and honest explanation Question: Can u tell me this, about what rpm you have at speed 100kmh? Regarding 5gears shall be about 3500rpm if am wright? Best regards.

@GoFoggy 2 жыл бұрын

I don't know exactly but will be somewhere between 3000-4000rpm I guess. Coming from some motorcycle racing I know you can change that by choosing other chainwheel settings, aka more or less teeth

@blazanperendija8456 2 жыл бұрын

@@GoFoggy i did that on my yamaha fz6s , front sprocket remain same 16teeth and rear sprocket changed from 46 to 43-NO DIFFERENCE! Speed only 3kmh difference, still have 4500rpm while on speed 100kmh... I cant go less teeth because 600cc 👌🖐

@impalaSS65 Жыл бұрын

3100rpm@100kph. I just now crunched the numbers from the workshop manual (primary 95/58, 5th gear 29/28, final drive 17/43, so overall ratio 4.191:1 and then the wheel and tire measurements.). It aligns with my memory too.

@RT22-pb2pp 11 ай бұрын

100kmh is like 65mph on a 1200 rpm is very low figure at redline this bike is 150 mph or more LOL even a 600 at 60 to 65mph is not even a strain

,'84, 85, two Kawasakis with d.f.i., you'd think ZRX ?, why no fuel inj. ?, Possible cure, for my ACUTE BANDITAHOLICISM. March '19, no bike Kawasaki, for 27 years, got a 05 GSF Bandit 650inj, Double WOW, at least 58, 59 times more biking joy, than in 84 my nearly new Kawa.750 turbo, heard first production bike any size, to do the Standing quarter mile in 10 seconds, mine did 161, fairly steady, planted mph., Very very Fast transport, but Bandit Time, Times, ALL ABOUT THE ACCELERATION. Joyous Biking TREAT. yours Scott Loch. Na, Professor Bandit B.T.E. Torque Enjoyment only, nothing technical, out. ps. Sadly now a semi retired Crazy Mad Banditateer, fekkin Banditaholic, ruined for any other bike, and I ain't even lying.
