One of the most underrated motorcycles ever made. I bought my 2006 ZRX1200r brand new and I still have it. I will never sell it. It puts a big smile on my face every time i ride it. It surprises quite a few sports bike riders.
I have KZ Kawasakis, a Busa and a ZRX 1200 R. The ZRX is actually my favorite for an all around bike that does everything extremely well! Thanks for making this video.
This is why I got one... a great all around bike.
I ride a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R that I bought and still rides it . I have 50,000 miles on it and it still runs great.
Mid to late 70’s I was a teenager in the Kawasaki dealership watching videos of the Kz900, zr1 etc.. My best friends big brother got the new Z. Been a fan from day one. Road a friends 2004 ZRX1200R a bunch of miles and lived everything about it. Turns out another friend bought it and has owned it for years. He says I will have it in a couple of weeks and I am very much looking forward to riding it right back to my childhood.
I love naked motorcycles. My first was a 1980 CB750f, many years ago now. Recently my street bike has been an r1200gs but when I decided I needed another 25hp or so it was in the form of a 2002 ZRX1200r. It's a beautiful motorcycle to look at, tons of fun to ride, comfortable for hours, and enough torque and hp for all but the craziest street riders. I love it!
Excellent job covering this iconic bike ! Thanks Jack ! Enjoying your channel even more !❤❤❤😊😊😊
I've owned 3 of them and kicked my ass every time I sold one.
Thanks for posting a picture of mine.
You know I had to! Loved that bike! We gotta find you another one.
@@cycledrag I hear ya...Been looking..
Thanks for posting this. I own one and I love it!
Great video!! I have had my ZRX1100 since it had 7 miles in 2000. She now has 43,xxx miles and is still running strong. I was one of the target buyers as I cut my teeth on a 1982 GPz750. A buddy had a 1981 KZ1000R which was the first replica of course. Everytime I ride this bike it takes me back in time, to being a teen on that GPz. Keep the great interviews and videos coming please! I have subscribed.
I used to change my bikes every three or four years. Then i bought a zrx 1100 in 1997 and still own and drive it today. Since then I have never had the feeling of wanting to change my bike. And, btw, in 23 years I never had a technical problem, although I pepped it up a Dynojet kit, 4° advancer etc.
I bought mine new in 99. Currently doing few mods to remember Eddie on the Kawasaki Superbike in the 80s.
I have got one Kawasaki zrx1200s in blue and white so good bike cool bike and fast love it 2003 bike
Love my 2000 1100 Mean Green. 21,000 miles. Never getting rid of it.
2002 Mean and green! LOVE LOVE LOVE my ZRX1200R!!
Besides some other old Kawis I own an 88 GPz900R and a 99 ZRX 1100 with a 1200 engine swap. In comparison the ZRX is pulling so hard right from the bottom - nothing beats low end grunt of this musclebike. You just gotta love this bike. I got the ZRX 12 years ago and will never give it away.
Just took the clutch cover off my 120,000 mile '99 ZRX1100 (for the first time in 22 years) to put the Compton tensioner mod in it, didn't even bother looking at the clutch plates.
Best episode ever. I regret not getting one of these when they came out. Made up for it by buying a Z900rs cafe. Don’t forget the 92 Zephyr was the first Z/KZ retro bike. I love em all. I think all three , zephyr, ZRX, and Z900 are all under the ZR model name.
Awesome bike. Awesome video! Like all my past bikes, I regret selling most of my old bikes, but this one has always hurt the most!
Way to go Jack! Another quality video! You just made a whole lot of 50 year olds happy! Keep'em coming!
I'm glad you liked it! Hey young guys can appreciate this bike too. Do you own one?
@@cycledrag In the market for a cheap one I can tinker on.
Wow the timing of this video is crazy. I am actually a few hours away from buying a 2003 ZRX. With a Undercut transmission and 6 speed transmission swap. Please keep these type of videos coming. Just a suggestion but I think a video on the GS1150 would be nice or Maybe the history of the Kawasaki Ninja. Great work.
Thank you for watching. That is awesome. If you don't mind me asking did you get a good deal? Yes I love the GS too.
Hope you get the ZRex, Rome! Let the good times roll!
Ricardo Juliet for sure! You have one too?
Not yet!
@@cycledrag As of this moment ( 7/7/ 2020 ) it appears that my deal fell apart. Bike is still for sale if you would like to view it on Craigslist Greenville SC. motorcycles.
Awesome video I rode a purple 750 h2 in the 80s that was a freak ,I raced everything on two wheels . A friend had a 1983 ELR and I loved the look of it . Fast forward to 2002 I saw a zrx1100 in a shop window and thought it was a 83 until I saw the motor . Took it for a test drive with my fiancé smoked tire across parking lot then rode a wheelie down the street , I was hooked. Salesman said to my fiancé I never seen that before! And still have my awesome green ELR today ! Wouldn't trade it for nothing! Was going to modify it but with prices going up iam gonna leave it stock and enjoy it ! Stay safe keith
LOL, Hey Keith...that was a cool story. When you were doing the burnout and wheelie did you know at that point you were going to buy the bike. Would have been really funny to see the salesman's reaction to burning up his tire if you weren't going to buy the bike. lol
I have a 2005 zrx1200r and love it! Not going to sell this one.
Totally agree. I've had my green '03 ZRX1200 for about 7 years now and love these bikes. Also have a '80 KZ1000, love these old school powerhouses. Can't go anywhere on either one without a "nice bike" or someone wanting to talk about them.
That’s so cool. Which one do you like better?
@@cycledrag that's a tough one. I like the zrx for the worry free ride it anywhere reliability and it handles really well. The kz is a little temperamental but it is very raw and fun to ride, the kz sounds better too. Like em both a heck of a lot!
Have a 2000 ZRX 1100 Eddie Lawson colors. Every time I ride it and stop for gas someone wants to know what it is and how cool it is. The older guys know. Have had many older gentleman at stop lights give me the 👍
I bought one for $300 in October. Waiting on title. Can’t wait. I used to work at a Kawi dealer so I rode them all. The tourque is what sets this bike apart
Sweet classic machine
My first bike was an '83 Kawsaki GPZ 305 back in 1984 when I was 15. My neighbor had a sub-9sec '83 GPZ 1100. When I saw the ZRX, I instantly fell in love with them. I haven't ridden since I had my daughters (trying to be a responsible father), but I'm back in the market. I'm finding GPZ's still around, but there's a huge difference in a 25 year old bike and a 40 year old bike. It'll either be a ZX10r in my garage or a ZRX.
Awesome memories of zrx bought new in 2000, comfort at its best and went like a bomb!
The Eddie Lawson colours made it a great looker too!
Greetings from South Africa
Teacher 1300 thank you very much for watching. What’s your all time favorite motorcycle and why?
@@cycledrag Thanks bro...all time greatest bike for this enthusiast is the Kawa Z1300, i 've owned my first one since 1984 and always had more than one of them from the KZ,Z and ZG range...now i own several of them...
Respect from South Africa
I have a '01 ZRX1200R for sale right now. Low mileage 36.5k it runs like a Timex. only a couple of small upgrades like 4* advance timing plate K&N filter in air box Clutch slave thicker gasket also rebuilt slave, stock pipe w/ weld on Comp-Werkes silencer, Runs Strong 2nd owner adult always owned/garaged. Located in Roseburg,OR $4k obo. Also has rear fender eliminator kit from Competition Werkes. have rear stock fender and signals etc. Health issues forces sale or I'd never get rid of it.. my Favorite bike out of all the early Z1's Z!R, KZ's H1's H2's Norton Commando Trumpet Bonneville, etc.. I've had in 55yrs. oh mine is Black with Purple stripe and is original paint. 1st year 1200 too.
I have a zx11 efi turbo...and Doug Meyer's oil pipe return to sump mod.... Love the bike.... And love the zrx too ❤️
Thanks for this fine video Jack. I'm actually bringing back home to Ontario this year from my brother's in Edmonton a bad ass Zrx1200 that should be in the high 8's when it's all dialed in.... Cheers
I’ve had two 1100 zrx’s, both were great bikes! i may get a 1200 someday 👍
Very cool. Any problems at all with either bike?
Great video .
I love mine. 27000 miles and still going strong.
2001 the 1200R came out, not 2002. Love mine! 44k+ miles and counting.
Yep, i was just scrolling thru the comments to see if anyone else caught that. I have an '01. But either way, '01-'02, its close enough lol. Good catch tho. ✌️
Nice video, love my zrx1200r 2008 model. One issue kawasaki should have addressed was the starter alt tensioner which backup and bash the clutch cover. My tensioner broke and destroyed my clutch and almost the motor. Cost me $$$ to fix. Now I have fixed the issue with a Compton custom alt tensioner which cost about $70.
Got one of these as well, 2000, zrx1100, in the rare Ebony color. Yes, it is hard to find parts, but only the plastic pieces, most are junk and need repairing. It's my daily commuter, Ohlins, Raceteck, Muzzy Exhaust and ZX1100 cams, pistons so it makes 130 to 140hp. Owners group is the best there is. Of course I have a 81 GPZ1100 which lead to the ZRX...because I kept putting ZRX parts on my GPZ. Great Video.
Never had one..but I had a GPZ750 back in 1991....Very informative review of ZRX
ARENA BALAP OTOMOTIF thank you very much for watching. What’s your all time favorite motorcycle and why?
@@cycledrag Unfortunately, I never had a chance to ride many motorcycles. Motorcycle that I had the longest was a Kawasaki Z800. It's very heavy... I think KTM RC390 fits me...It's light & agile as well
I've been riding mine for 18 years now 😊
Wicked video Jack 👍. I did have the chance of buying one , back in England. Ended up buying a YZF 750, with a Thunder ACE 1000 MOTOR in her . That was a AWESOME Bike, top speed 210 mph 😄😝 OMG
Very cool. Hey it's not too late. They are out there. Would you like to own one?
Hardest thing about trying to drag race a zrx is the lack of parts like swingarms and sidewinder exhaust. Took me four years to locate just a header section alone and i've been waiting for over six months for my prepaid 8" over swingarm from Trac dynamics with no idea when it's gonna show up. Hopefully this video inspires more people to pick a zrx up and hopefully more companies start showing some type of support.
I like that. Do you still have it?
@@cycledrag yes I still have my blue 2003 zrx1200. Sadly she's been sitting on a motorcycle lift for those 6 months waiting for Trac dynamics to send me my swingarm.
A low mile 2000 ZRX 1100 . Just sold on Bring a Trailer for $ 7000.00.
I have a 2000 ZRX1100 - Being totally biased......I have to agree that it is a superb bike. 😊😊
Robbo thank you very much for watching. What’s your all time favorite motorcycle and why?
@@cycledrag It's probably a tie between a Suzuki GS1000 I had for 20 years before the ZRX. Both great bikes in their own right, both similar in many ways with the ZRX being a bit more up to date than the GS1000, albeit the ZRX is now 20 years old.
Hi Eric!!!
ZRX 1200R with a small turbo, stock motor with heavy duty valve springs. At 14psi the turbo doubles the power = 235Hp and almost doubles the torq = 156LbFt...
Best times 6.0s 126mph 1/8, 9.22 150mph 1/4 and it'll power wheelie at 80mph in 3rd gear with no clutching...
Old low res. videos playing at SGMP (private track rental). First is the 9.22 run (HOT summer day so didn't go 150mph) th-cam.com/video/haZ6mWfrsx8/w-d-xo.html
And then just for fun I did a 2nd to 5th gear power wheelie to 1,000Ft... th-cam.com/video/0bFLHFJV74Y/w-d-xo.html
KCadby thank you very much for watching. What’s your all time favorite motorcycle and why?
Yes... One of The Best of All Time ✅ Great Bike
I agree. Did you own one?
Almost... A Co-worker had a 2001 / 5000 miles I rode it very impressive roll on throttle front wheel up... Just didn't have many others bikes but I do have one similar... A 1981 Kawasaki GPZ 1100 / 2100 miles Not 21,000 still have it Like New! ✅
You got my gears turning now!
I think people buy these more for the retro thing then performance. They have been going up in price the last few years. A nice one where I live is around 5 grand.
Great video......great bike😎😎😎
Thanks a lot! Have you ever ridden one?
Rickey, Rob, and ZRex. Legends!
I agree w all of that. Have you ever seen them live?
Never got to see Rickey rockin' live, unfortunately! 😔
I did see TEN superbike wins by Rob Muzzy's Kawasakis: 1981, Eddie Lawson (Laguna Seca, Seattle); 1982, Eddie Lawson (Riverside, Laguna Seca); 1993, Miguel Duhamel (Sears Point); 1995, Scott Russell (Daytona 200), Anthony Gobert (Laguna Seca WSBK race 1), 1996, Doug Chandler (Laguna Seca, Las Vegas), 1997, Doug Chandler (Laguna Seca).
I just caught my first ZRX a month ago. There's no way I'm releasing it.
Thanks for the upload!
Great entertainment while I’m working on my bike!!!
Thanks a lot for watching! What do you ride? Do you watch on your phone or a TV?
CycleDrag I’m riding the ninja H2R on the track and a few bikes for Mx... my favorite fun bike is the mighty stunt Grom!
watching on an old Laptop that’s still fine for some Google help or TH-cam entertainment but a TV screen would be a great idea🤔👍
AeroR oh that’s rad. How do you like the H2R?
CycleDrag I like this missile! it’s not easy to ride compared to my last two bikes (zx10rr’s) everything on the H2R is a bit too much for the most race tracks over here in Germany but i’m getting comfortable with it!
If you ever come to Germany you can take it for a spin 🤘
Passion and fun is all and everything for me
💥 Yes ZRX ✅ One Of The Best… Ever💥
Gota 2000 in my living room. Love it
Bought mine new in 1999 and still have it today with almost 120,000mi on it! JE pistons, ZX11 cams, "Factory" jet kit, Sato 4,2,1 exhaust, ZX11 Ignitor box, ZX-10 stick coils, and topped off with some mild porting which brought the horsey's up to right around 150HP...not bad for a 21 year old bike.

Great questions! That’s a tough one. Had a lot of bikes throughout the years. Well that’s has to be the ZRX? Like I wrote that’s a tough one.
I was given my zrx1200r for free.
Its got 88000 miles on the clock and still going strong

@@cycledrag gotta be the original triumph street triple.
Perfect balance of speed and agility in a do everything packege.
Its still a bike that defines the naked segment used as a yardstick for others to try and meet
Whoa!
Had one in 2000...an awesome vehicle...a true Kwak...
My uncle has put 272,000 miles on his! Yeah you test that right two hundred thousand lol Damn good bike
To expand on some of Rickey's comments. The Highlands Kawasaki Turbo ZRX race bike was built with a Mr.Turbo ZRX kit using a fuel injection system from the ZX-11 turbo kit. Terry Kizer, Woody, and I installed the kit at the Mr. Turbo shop. The motor had MTC pistons and lock-up clutch, and Carillo rods. Additional oiling was added to the crank journals with a Mr. Turbo ZX-11 oil pan bypass kit.
34bartm thank you very much for watching. What’s your all time favorite motorcycle and why?
I had a 2001 Zrx 1200 r . Why did I ever get rid of it? 😢 Kawasaki got those ones right. I miss it sssooooo much!
Every time i sell one, i end up getting another. Present green one has USD forks and a few other stripped down style mods. Did 200 miles yesterday in Wales on the twisties. Torquey, smooth and fast. It's also toured France, Spain and Italy with camping gear.
I still own my 2001 ZX-9 that I rebuilt and repainted in the monster energy paint scheme
I can remember the day my dad drove up to my work on a brand new one he bought.
I had just wrecked a 97 Honda Civic Hatch Back. I want to say this was 2001 or 2002. We got $8k USD on insurance for the Honda and sure enough, my dad rode up on the ZRX1200R, beautiful red. He told me he used the insurance to buy the bike lol.
Sadly he sold it a while ago, I would of loved to be able to ride it. I have a ZRX1400R now that he gave me though, so there is that
I'm live 39 minutes north of Seattle and had to sell my Kawasaki ZRX due to Covid-19 my wifes a nurse 28 years , Ive worked timber industry almoat 30 years and got hurt in a work accident before Covid-19 , I cant just buy another bike ZRX im 50 years old and actual crying typing this im ao tired of this , now I have nothing , Hopefully things will start looking up life has been kicking my ass . Good luck to you all best to you and your stay safe you and yours .
Always have loved mine.
Vondrz thank you very much for watching. What’s your all time favorite motorcycle and why?
My fave toy. Have fun all.
Hi Jim :-) EA here.
I miss my 2001 ZRX1200. I sold it in 07 and bought a new 07 ZX14. Now I miss both of my KAWASAKI’S
That's exactly why I rarely sell anything I own!
Your story sounds just like mine. I had a green 2001 ZRX 12, sold it in 2007 and got black 2007 ZX 14🎉
great story too Ricky
It was really easy to get near 150hp out of the 1100. Put in ZX11 pistons, cams, a Muzzy stainless exhaust and a good jet kit. Degree the cams for around 110 deg lobe centers and hang on! Dyno'd mine at around 145hp even running pretty rich.
you won't touch one of these for 3500 today with low miles and still looking in really nice condition!!
I once own a 80 Z1R that bike was one mean boy I had it up to 130 what a rush.
KC Ronn thank you very much for watching. What’s your all time favorite motorcycle and why?

Bikers ZRX WORLD CLASS CLUB
Awesome bike but LOVE the ZZR1200.
The last time I was on my ZRX I broke my tibia and fibula clean in half, and ruptured some ligaments in my foot. That bike saved my life though, I rode on the side of it for about 80 yards
If you dont mind what happend exactly , can't quit invision it did you slide on it for 80 yards that's the body save or????
0:55 - OK, I have one question about the handlebars and sadly, it is not about this bike's; are they clip-ons or custom?
I need one.

Wow, thanks
Nice

Yes Sir!!!!
Nice screen name! I take it you are an owner? Please share with your group.
I’ve got an 01 zrx1200 looking for an extended swingarm
I just bought a mint 2000 ZRX1100 for $2,900 (but with 27,000 miles). It's fun... but, slow. My 2005 ZX-10R is insane compared to it. I got it to keep the miles low on the 10R.
Fond memories
thank you very much for watching. What’s your all time favorite motorcycle and why?
Classic you should do a review on the gsxr 1100
Yes I should. What year is your favorite?
I like them from oil to water cooled.. 91 to 95 they are just something else..thats just my 2 cents..the wsp 750 is a monster (95). a few tweaks and it whoops ass.
@@cycledrag all years you cant go wrong with a old gsxr... I'm rebuilding a 96 gsxr 1100w should be road ready sometime this year
CycleDrag I have only raced GSXR’s since 1990. I had the fastest stock GSXR’s (in my area at least) in those days. My stock ‘94 1100 ran low 6.20’s with stock motor with stock CV carbs and +6 swingarm. I had a ‘96 1100 stock motor with 39 Keihn carbs stock arm went 6.33. Bought a new Busa in 2000 put Yosh drop in cams and went 6.04 with stock arm.
@@prostreetgsxr those are 1/8 mile times what did you put down in the 1/4 mile???
The greatest motorcycle ever made ! ZRX1100
keith frisell love it, please state why?
CycleDrag Green is Mean ! Name another motorcycle realistically that almost every time you gas it up people come up and say I remember those ,that's a beautiful motorcycle ! The sit up ride is so comfortable compared to the lay down crotch rocket type.. Performance I can't tell you how many other motorcycles I have smoked off light to light ! All that and it handles pretty darn well too ! Kawasaki ZRX1100 the greatest motocycle ever built .
The bandit is better,home adjustment of the valves makes it friendlier for the diy owner.
The same tuning can be done for the same power,cheaper!
Bandit 1200 mk1 is far nicer and has floater suspension.
The zrx looks pretty but the bandit is more accessible.
I have a ZRX and had a Bandit 1200s I loved that Suzuki too.
No Aluminum Frames. Tubular Steel. Also they're considered a UJM Universal Japanese Motorcycle for it's Normal riding position. FYI
Any truth to if you lay one down it will spin the #3 rod bearing
Gave my son my 1980 KZ1000 E-2 shaft so i could get a 2000 ZRX! I wanted something I didn't have to work on anymore...HA!
I ride a mint ZX11, but my buddies dream bike is the ZRX ELR. 11 or 12 he would be crazy happy. If I hit that lotto Im buyin him one. PEACE!!!!!
Very cool! But you don't need to hit the loto. These can be had fro less $3,500 if you hunt hard. Have you ever ridden one?
@@cycledrag Sorry for the late reply but no I have never ridden one. I would though for sure! PEACE!!!!!!
@@cycledrag is it possible to do a review on Kawasaki zx11?
@@roadrash2325 I would like to. What year is your favorite?
@@cycledrag first or second generation no matter. I would appreciate if it will be interesting nitrous project.
Great bike, my dad has one. But it has a steel frame, not an aluminium one!
King Samson thank you very much for watching. What’s your all time favorite motorcycle and why?
@@cycledrag The old Kawasaki Zeds. Z1, 900, 1000, MK2, Z1R. To me there is no substitute. My dad had one, my mum had one, I have a KZ1000A2, unfortunately apart right now. It will live again tho!
I'm thinking of selling mine.
I saw my first zrx at castletown IOM and I was smitten. Two months later I had mine and we've done 26K and counting

@@cycledrag I have a Triumph t140 which I got in 84 I've done a lot of European tours with and I learnt an awful lot about spannering!
It's strange that turbos get so much hate. There is nothing better for power and reliability.
Turbos are dominating Pro Street nowadays. The turbo nitrous war has always been raging. What do you like better?
CycleDrag turbos. I have always loved turbos.
Anthony C what do you think of Teasley going 6.38!?
I love them zxr's I had a 2001 zxr1200r and it was a 200+mph bike I regret getting rid of mine everyday
wow! When did you sell it? And why?
LOL
Aluminum frame? I don’t think so.
Hard to find one under $3500 today.
Yup... even with high miles!
They don't sell for more than 3,500 - 4,000. People are delusional and they tend to overprice their bikes/cars etc... Covid made everyone in the motorcycle/car selling business unrealistic. ZRXs sit at dealers, they sit on FB marketplace. Asking prices aren't selling prices.
@@andrearel3703No, inflation has caused the increase. Eggs, tires, milk, you name it on the shelf are selling at higher prices like everything else. Are some prices ridiculous? Absolutely. But the common factor across new and used anything is inflation and since the previous bubble(s) of covid, prices have settled a little but have not completely receded if any at all in some areas. Things are fx!ked and will probably remain that way. Trust me, I have talked and talked and tried to reason with some sellers and these days, they would rather sit on their high mile, overpriced automobile/bike than to lose that bubble value they thought they originally had. Ego and inflation has ruined everything.
Mine didn't have rims like that.
I had the blue one, zrx12
The blue one is nice too even though everybody wants that Eddie Lawson paint. Did you drag race it?
CycleDrag I didn’t, but one of the guy in our club did and it kept up with a Suzuki 1000 that’s has a lot work done to it..
@@Jjason601 That's awesome. They are fast. What do you ride now?
CycleDrag drive truck why life passing me bye. I think imo come off the road and buy a goldwing trike. I’m getting old 35 hahahahaha and enjoy life👍🏻
My bad, I thought you ask what I do now. I brought a hayabusa and sold it. Here in Mississippi atv is really getting popular everyone I was riding with done brought them
I have an 04 ZZR1200. Was there anyone racing these?
Cool! What are your thoughts on it! Yes this was in Tennessee on Father's Day weekend.
I know that the ZRX and ZZR1200 share the same engine being that the ZZR 1200 is a hotter in tune. You don't see a lots of ZZR1200's. I enjoy mine quite a bit. I'm just wondering if the ZZR was ever modded and raced like the ZRX?
Seems like Suzuki and Kawasaki are the main bikes used for dragracing. Why don’t people use Honda or Yamaha‘s?
Thats a great question. The aftermarket parts are there for teh Kaws and Zukis. But that could be a chicken - egg situation. What is your favorite bike?
My understanding is Suzuki and Kawasakis have strong internals because of excellent design and manufacturing They can be hotted up without to much drama I have run up big miles on both brands without any major problems cheers
And a 1400 concours can easily keep up in the twisties..then on the straights it's goodbye.
Those are great bikes. Do you drag race?
@@cycledrag The traction control can let you rev to six-then let go of the clutch. Just blasts forward with no wheel spin. These bikes easily put out 160hp with ecu chip & exhaust..
