I've owned my 2000 ZRX1100 since 2002. It has 59,000 miles on it. No issues other than an alternator that may need replaced after 21 years. Still love the bike as much as ever!
I bought a 99 ZRX 1100 ABOUT 2 years ago. It was in sad shape when I got it but I brought it back to life. It is definitely a fun bike to ride and it's amazing how many people will turn their heads to look at it.
I had a 2000 ZRX 1100 bone stock. I paid around $2000 for it from a dealer used. It did have fairly high mileage at 19,000 miles if I remember correctly. The bike ran like it was brand new and I loved it. I would still have it today but it actually got stolen from the motorcycle shop where I was having it serviced. Man these bikes are getting really hard to find. I’ve owned probably close to 20 used motorcycles over the past 30 plus years but For my 50th birthday (midlife crisis) I decided to buy my first brand new motorcycle. I purchased a 2021 Kawasaki Z900 RS Café. The bike is gorgeous and amazing. I got the silver/gray color scheme and it’s a beautiful machine. Prior to purchasing the new motorcycle, I came really close to pulling the trigger on another ZRX 1100, the same as the one that I had previously. it was such a great bike and they’re getting really hard to find. I almost wish I would’ve picked up the old Z-REX 1100 but I’m happy with the new fuel injected motorcycle with a warranty. but I still miss that ZRX 1100 (Z-REX) maybe in the future I can find another one. It was such a great motorcycle!!
The zrx1100. is a joy to ride the dealership I worked at did a zx11 upgrade carbs, cams it dyno at 163 the. Difference is the power after 6000 ram is insane so much fun my 1200 is stock the smooth power is very cool ;but the extra on my 1100 really keeps the old heart thumping
I just bought a 99 for $300. No joke. It only has 13k. I’m really nice shape. It’s all stock. I used to work at a kawi dealership back then. These bikes in my opinion are so underrated. A shame you don’t see many anymore. Oh by the way the reason the bike was so cheap is that I bought it from a 19yr old who wanted tattoos.
I have a 2000 zrx1100. Excellent condition. All original other than yoshimura exhaust. Also has the same zero gravity windshield. 45,000 miles. Look like it's straight from the factory.
I ride Kawasakis since early 90ies. Now I own a 2000 ZRX with a Termignoni exhaust System. You can unleash some 20 horses by exchanging the stock pipes by unrestricted ones but you loose some "Electric motor" caracteristics below 5000rpm. Kawas build after 2005 doesn't seem to have this rugged quality appearence like this older models. Just compare the forged side stand of this ZRX with the one of a 2007 Z1000 which looks like made from Home Depot pipes of several diameters with the addition of very average welding skills. Don't forget to mention that Kawasakis have an "Automatic neutral finder". If the engine is warm (running) and the bike is not moving you cannot shift from 1st to 2nd gear. You will always go to neutral. Some hidden example of the engineering superiority of Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
I have a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R . Wonderful bike, mine is the green and black with grey stripe. The engine is a ZX11 Ninja block bored to 1164. It has the KZ1000 looks but it has a detuned ninja motor. But still plenty of HP stock. My ZRX has 47,000 miles and I still love mine.
I just bought the zrx1200. Love it. Best remakes ever. The original elr 1000r is rare. These bikes are everywhere available still!! I can't wait to suck up a few busas-lol
I just bought a 2000 ZRX 1100 with 11000 miles and paid 500 bucks for it beautiful bike it sucks when people have hardships but I made off like a bandit same bike as this video but mines naked with the ZR7 round headlight love it....
My Favorite Streetbike Ever Made! 70's and 80's Style Badassery right there, in the looks department! I know "She's a Runner", like the 80's Rock Star Billy Squier says! Lol
I have had mine since new (2000) and I still love it! The tank will take you around 175 to 200 miles before filling it again. The only gripe that I would have is that it does go through rear tires (not unusual for a higher horsepower / torque engine). Keep up the great videos - I actually own a few bikes that you have made videos of (and I really enjoy your videos of them). I too share the same passion for bikes as you, but my wife says 30 (so far) are enough!! LOL
I have a 2002 1200 with 30k and a kerker. No problems the first 5 years until fuel started pouring out of the air filter. Took it to the local shop spend 850$ for carb work throttle cable oil change etc. Haven't run good since...it back fires and if you really get on it it seems like it starves for fuel and shots down. After 15 min it's ok again. Frustrated as i no longer trust my local shop.
@Rick Simpson I'll never take it back to them. I will explain why. The tank was not installed right, the fuel gauge connector was never put on,i discovered a wire in one of the coils broken off(fixed it my myself),some lines from the tank not properly connected (or not at all). I have lost faith in them. They used to have great mechanics but now just a young kid thats very sloppy.
My buddy bought one of these and turned it into a naked bike. I almost cried. All the fairings were in perfect condition! He sold them on Ebay for a killing. Bike wasn't immaculate, but in incredibly good shape considering its age. Tragedy.
Well I had one several years ago but it got stolen. I now have a 2021 Z900 RS Café. Since I owned both bikes I can say that the Z900 is pretty damn good also, you should check it out if you like the old ZRX 1100.
All the bikes I had as a courier, Kawasakis only, early to mid 80s, last bike '92, 3rd and probably last GT550, shaft drive, great bike, GT 750, enjoyed it just as much as '84 nearly new GPZ 750 turbo, heard first production bike any size, to do the standing quarter mile in 10 seconds, mine did 161mph, GT 750, would sit at 140mph, all day long.No bike for 27 years, March 19 chance to get a bike, no Kawasaki shops near, turned down a 07 CBR 600 RR sight unseen, saw it wanted it, just looked very RIDEABLE, just sold, Bummer !!!, Dancer ?, had opted for a 05 fuel inj. 650 Bandit,Wow, immediate throttle response quicker than a video game, capable of just over 80 mph, in 2nd gear. First ride in Ernest, in 27 years,less than 2 miles, a brand new Focus ST undertook me at speed, cared not a jot, down at light, Focus ST trying to lord it over me, stumbled upon a Perfect Storm, hand's limp on bars, not pulling arms anymore,750 turbo was infamous for trying to throw rider off the back, hang on for life, when turbo started to Woosh forward.Bandit Perfect storm , limp arms, body slouched all at the back wheel,felt like an industrial catapult fired it off, 6,500 rpm 4th gear, said 91,92mph, actual 88, 89 mph,red lines at 12,000rpm, 2,700 pounds to M.O.T., fixed worth 1,000 nonsense PRICELESS, would the shop take 200 pounds every 4 weeks, No, 19 months of biking JOY. Sadly now a HOPEFULLY only semi retired Banditateer fekkin Banditaholic, but taking a look at a Kawasaki green ZRX 1100, video, THANKS, That bike, I'm sure could cure my Banditaholicism. 0-60 2.9 secs.,ZRX ??, LOVELY. yours Scott Loch. Na, Professor Bandit fuel inj.650 B.T.E. out. Got a PhD Masters Degree in Bandit Torque Enjoyment only, nothing technical, but a Healthy ZRX, VERY NICE.
🏴😎😁💚🎊🏍🎊💚AWESOME!!!!! All 💚ZRX'S l've Got the same a 1999 1100 l've owned for 21 years!!!! I LOVE it!!!! & at 66 lm Looking!!! Forward!!!! to Riding Her for the Next!!!! 21 years!!!! 😁lol Good Old 🏴ENGLISH BOY🏴👍 Let the GOOD TIMES ROLL!!!! 💚👍
My brother n law has the same bike . It has low miles never laid down. He hasn’t rode it for several years.. probably needs the fuel system gone through…. How much would it be worth… the paint is in great condition and the seat perfect
I get the same that's a nice street fighter you made there mate I used to explain to them that it is a model made by Kawasaki now I just say yes thanks can't be bothered to explain anymore
I was wondering how is this bike suited as first motorcycle taking in consideration it's 1100ccm after all ? I passed my exams on hornet 599 here in Europe we call it Hornet 600 and I saw they are approximately same kw and hp.. 95-98 hp. I am 32 years old and have no desire whatsoever to twist that throttle or break any speed records, would mainly use it as a city commuter. That said I am 6.2 feet tall and I really REALLY like the looks of this motorcycle. Would this be suicide choice for a first motorcycle? Tnx in advance. :)
Super nice, hopefully a collector gets it and not a knucklehead like me, lol. I take good care of my bike, but I ride a lot and i ride hard. This should be babied and I would struggle with that. Haha
@@dennislove7887 you might be able to get more for it, but I doubt it'd be a whole lot. Check Craigslist and Cycle Trader to see what others are selling them for.
My friend loaned me this motorcycle and ibtook my korean girl for a ride and i bent this thing over in a corner and stood it up at full trottle and shot like a rocket

I just bought a super clean 2000 ZRX I am a very happy fellow :-)
I bought mine in 2012 - Green ZRX1200R 2005 - love the bike and I hope will be with me forever. ❤
Anyone else tense looking for black ice while he rides?
I just bought a mint 2000 ZRX1100...never even seen the rain, SHWING!
I've just bought one of these in dark purple for my first big bike 🤣 I am 6ft 4 and 17 stone so needed a big bike! I absolutely love it

What an incredible example of one of my most favorite motorcycles. Thanks for showing it off.
I sure loved mine, wish I still had it. 😢
I have too many bikes already but I’ve always wanted one of these! Too bad I saw this video years too late lol

Sweet sweet machines. Big fun, big versatility!
Had an 04’ Zrx1200. Regret selling it everyday. Great bike. Tons of power.
I almost sold my 2004 Zrx12r but then I woke up.

Is it for sale? If so text me info 860 916 9784
Buy it! It never fails,
Thank Gawd it has an 'American made exhaust'... 🤣
Great bike great vid again from a zrx 1100 owner
漢のKawasaki重工ですね〜👍
Pretty Cool
Is this engine way different from a zx11? Guess the year will depend.
I wonder how much it will go for? 🤔
I bought a new ZRX1200R in 2001...what happened that most of them got destroyed. Or is that just speaking of only the 1100's ??
The best part is that the Kawa doesn’t require helmets
I hate how they won't export this bikes to the U.S. anymore. I think they are still made in Japan.
@lahokc59 If memory serves.. I paid $7400 for my ZRX1200r brand new in 2001. Still have it, just broke 8k miles on the clock.
I have a 2002. The question I'm asked all the time is did you make that
I get the same that's a nice street fighter you made there mate I used to explain to them that it is a model made by Kawasaki now I just say yes thanks can't be bothered to explain anymore
Did you ever had any problems with back firing and starving for fuel when you get on it?
I have an 02 as well with a kerker.

Nemanja Milojevic it’s got a lot of torque, but it’s very smooth. I have a race throttle on mine and it’s still very easy to manage.

you just rode zrx in road covered in salt!
....and.....???????? wow amazing

What STOP sighn ?? 😉
what are you asking for it and what would the shipping cost to Jacksonville, FL be?
It's on Ebay now at only 4950
“Most of them got destroyed.” I want this bike really bad but that scares me.
I ride safely always. It is not that I would ride it fast but it feels good knowing I could.
How much is it?
I've got one with 575 miles on it put away what are they worth
if its mint, probably 7g
maybe
