Picked up a ZRX1100 on the cheap
I happened to glance at CL and picked up a 1999 ZRX for $1240. It’s been in storage for a while but I couldn’t beat the price. Pics to follow when I get it home today.2010 Honda VFR1200F

Anxiously waiting for more info... I like my ZRX more than any bike I've ever had. It's nearing the time I should get rid of all my bikes but 1. When the time actually gets here, The ZRX will sure be the 1 that stays. Only thing neg. I can think of about the ZRX is no center stand, though kind'f minor it really aggravates me.... Congrats, if it's not complete junk, it's got to be a great deal.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100

eli, your 850 weighs more than a ZRX plus the newer technology makes the ZRX feel waaaay lighter. The only thing that could be too much bike would be when you twist the throttle. 78 HP shaft dr.. vs 98 HP. chain. Still way less than the modern superbikes...2022 Suzuki Hayabusa 197 HP, now that may be too much bike for several of us..1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw.

My '82 11E makes 99.3 at the rear wheel, and it's only slightly modified.
Go out to the garage and apologize to your Kawasaki right now!

My ZZR1200 puts out 145 H.P. at the rear wheel. I'm thinking of sending the carbs out, where a guy in California modifies them for $300 bucks, that and a timing advance brings the bike into the 200 mph range. Supposedly it will do 179 to 186 stock, depends on altitude, and air density. You cannot just blip the throttle in a turn on these bikes, the back end can and will break lose on you The bike feels comfortable at any speed. That's kind of a problem, as I have found myself doing 120 mph on roads with no traffic and not realizing it. The police are in aircraft, and they will video you and catch you, so you really have to be careful, or you start accumulating points on your license. My bike only has 3875 miles on it. I picked it up last year for $2200 bucks. I've been modifying it. It should be completely ready to go in a couple of weeks. What a deal.

Hope he's not expecting anything like a ZZR 1200, totally different bikes. For me the ZZR is a high performance crotch rocket bike, the ZRX is a sit up straight all purpose bike with a sporty paint job... Apples to oranges.1983 GS1100E, 1983 CB1100F, 1991 GSX1100G, 1996 Kaw. ZL600 Eliminator, 1999 Bandit 1200S, 2005 Bandit 1200S, 2000 Kaw. ZRX 1100

Okay, guys, I figured out which way is up. I've been confusing the Kaw ZRX with the ZZR. Two totally different bikes. The ZZR was cutting edge, fastest production bike in it's day (fully faired), and the ZRX was a throwback, called a naked, made to look as much as possible like the old Kaw 900.
Have I finally got it right?
Cloudbreak, we must see many pics of your new bike from all angles. It's not an Eddie Lawson replica, by any chance, is it?1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
