Kawasaki ZRX1200R

ZRX1200R - The original musclebike

Talk about carving a reputation. The original AMA Superbike helped make Eddie Lawson a legend, now the ZRX1200R has become the muscle bike by which all others are judged. You know when something is simply right and the ZRX proves the point. It's big, brutal and brash, a bike for real bikers and with the torque and performance to back up its full on looks. The stripped down classic superbike styling reveals a useful braced aluminium swinging arm and multi-adjustable piggy-back rear shocks. Up front the huge 43mm front forks are clamped by six piston calipers grabbing massive 310mm drilled disc brakes. Add a stainless steel four-into-one exhaust and Candy Lime Green paintjob and even Eddie would be happy with the result.
