I bought my ZRX1200R brand new in 2002. I have 46,000 miles on the clock. The only thing I've ever done to the engine is to check the valve clearance. I did change oil and filter every 2000 miles. I never had to adjust the carbs. That engine is built like a tank and is super dependable. It's a comfortable bike to ride and I like it's pretty much flat torque curve.
I bought a 2002 ZRX1200R.I was initially a bit concerned about the milage @102,000k but the bike was really tidy and ran mint and was a good price.I've owned it for 3 years now, never uses any oil starts every time even if its not been started in eons and run really smooth even at low revs in heavy
Of all the bikes i've had, this is just.......bloody brilliant! Now 2019, bought mine new in '06 and i can't imagine being without it. Bog standard still, but feels like a bespoke build....to suit me! Absolutely love it. 😈🇬🇧👍
The GS1000s at the beginning of this video brought back that warm feeling I had when I was 18. In 1980 I purchased a 1000E with low bars and the S faring. I thought I was Wes Cooley at the time. Fast forward to 2001 and my 40th birthday present, a ZRX1200A1. Oh how I loved that engine and the torque it created. Sadly it met it's end in 2016, but I'm still kicking. Great video, thanks for the trip down memory lane!
This is definitely on my list for my next bike after owning a Hayabusa. I rode a friend's bike years ago and I was blown away by it. Love the old school carbeaurated bikes and the classic looks
Thanks for this review of the ZRX! I have a green 2005 model that I bought new. We keep 4-6 bikes in our shop at all times, but the ZRX1200 is the only one that’s been with us that long! We don’t ride it a lot, only has about 8500 miles on it, but, every minute on it takes me back in time. Taken several 400 - 500 mile trips on it and it never has had any problems at all. Excellent motorcycle. Ride safe my friends!
YES this is my dream bike for all the reasons mentioned. As a biker i have 2personalities i.e. cool & relaxed and somtimes balls out knee down. This bike caters my moods!!!!

I had to thin the collection Kept the Z and sold the Harley. The Harley is fun but the Z is Exciting.
I can still remember the first time I rode a ZRX1200, the wife asked how it was and I laughed out loud that it was like a carnival ride! TORQUE!!
