2002 Kawasaki ZRX1200R review from United States of America
"Best looking, running, dependable bike that I have seen in my opinion"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I am glad to say that I haven't had any faults, and nothing has gone wrong with this bike.
General comments?
Well don't know where to start with making comments about my ZRX1200R, cause there are a lot of things to say; for instance the power this bike has is unreal, it has a roll on performance that is crisp at the wrist, doesn't matter what speed or what gear you are in, it launches like a rocket.
The paint job also looks very cool, I have the candy lime green one with purple and pearl white stripes, and get a lot of complements on the looks.
The handling of this bike is very forgiving, as in you can maneuver it well in the turns and pull it to a line with ease.
It also has a factory ignition timing device that is called "k-trick", that no matter what speed or gear you are in, the timing is set for very responsive throttling.
I also like the fact that it has six caliper braking on the front end. Most bikes that I have seen only have four calipers; the extra two on my bike makes me feel a little more secure when it comes to stopping this rocket on wheels.
I guess I would have to say that the ZRX1200R has it all. from speed to looks to comfortable ride, dependability, and much more. I will keeping this bike for a long time.
