Kawasaki Other description

Years sold: 1999-2000 as ZRX1100; 2001-2005 as ZRX1200R MSRP new: $7199 (1999) Blue Book retail value: $3185 (’99 1100) to $5245 (’05 1200) I opted for the FJ-09 as I needed something a bit more purpose built for my annual 2000 mile trip (which I did on this 5 times) and got the Yamaha FJ-09. This Rex is a beast, and I will miss the joy of that third gear roll on... 

This bike was bought from the showroom by my father in 2000, and I have the original marketing slick that came with it, all service receipts for work done, and I have included the dyno tests when the engine was tweaked in '02. I purchased from him in '09. 

After Market work professionally installed: 
ZX Cams, giving it more top end 
KN Air Filter lets her breathe more easily 
Stage 3 jet kit for increased fuel performance 
Muzzy full exhaust also gives a boost to the HP (plus a GREAT tone) 
Clear Turn Signal Covers 
Givi headlight shield 
Givi Touring Faring 
Corbin Race Seat is a HUGE improvement 
Steel braided brake lines 
Extra brake light below license plate 
Li Ion Battery w/ Battery Tender 

Also included is the Ventura Bike Pack system and rear cargo tray. You can switch out the tall back used with the pack system for the smaller stubby if you want to clean up the look a bit. Touring fairing helps keep the wind blast at the middle of your helmet, and with a slight tuck you can get it off your face altogether. 

 I had a custom paint job done, following the exact same design but with black instead of green base, with silver and gunmetal stripes instead of the white and purple. After market horn actually makes noise to get dumb drivers attention, but a quick flick of the wrist will make them jump outta their seats. I think that's hilarious. 

Just had the carbs serviced, changed the oil, flushed the brake lines, pads and rotors are just fine. Got a new chain last year, along with front and rear sprockets. She's been well loved, well ridden, and well cared for. I have the original cams, exhaust, fairing, turn signals...basically every thing it came with I have in a box if you want to go straight stock. 

Please send me any questions you have or if you want more pictures. Make me an offer, I don't wanna let this old girl sit, she likes to RUN!! 

 From Website: Basic specs: A 1052cc, liquid-cooled, dohc inline-Four with mildly sporty ergonomics, a quarter-fairing, twin piggyback-reservoir shocks and dual six-piston front disc brakes. It churned out 96 rear-wheel horsepower, did 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and 11.19/120 mph in the quarter-mile. Why it won: Kawasaki combined the legacy of its past Superbike racing successes with then-current technology to produce a versatile liter-class high-performance machine at a reasonable price. 

The ZRX offered near-standard-bike comfort, sporty handling and enough midrange torque to make no-downshift passes that would take your breath away. And since this Kawasaki was modeled closely after the famous Eddie Lawson Replica introduced in 1982, a bike that commemorated Lawson’s 1981 AMA Superbike Championship, the ZRX1100 is, in effect, a replica of a replica. 

The beating heart of the ZRX is a liquid-cooled four-cylinder engine that displaced 1,052cc. Based loosely on the ZX-11’s powerplant, the ZRX’s carbureted mill got a retune that punched up the midrange and gave it a broad, flat torque curve—more than 60 pound-feet at 3,000 rpm and peaking at 72 at 6,000 rpm. Peak horsepower was 97 at the rear wheel; it’s not much these days considering the displacement, but it’s adequate just about any day for seat-clenching acceleration. 

The ZRX’s chassis—steel-tube frame, twin shocks, and an elaborately braced swingarm—has “retro” written all over it. Up front a pair of 310mm rotors paired with six-piston calipers brings the 544-pound ZRX to a halt, while at the other end a single 250mm rotor with a single-piston caliper does its best to help. Both the 1100 and the 1200 roll on 17-inch wheels shod with 120/70 tires up front. For a race-inspired bike, the ZRX’s seating position is friendly—no prostrate-yourself-before-the-god-of-speed crouch. A welcome touch of retro is the bolt-on tubular handlebar, which can be swapped out for a lower one. Handling, while far from 600-class quick, is predictable, and the feedback from the chassis inspires confidence. Not too much, though, because at a certain point you realize you’re on a large, heavy bike that’ll bite back if you twist its tail too hard.

World Superbike racebikes will be required to have fake headlight stickers on their race fairings to more closely resemble their production series counterparts. The new regulation, set to kick in for the 2013 WSBK season, was designed to establish a closer link between the production model and the race-trim superbike.
