Sporty naked bikes are more my style, and after looking at Monsters, Speed Triples, FZ's, etc.; I decided to go with a ZRX1200r.

Found a fairly low mileage, clean, stock bike in GA for a reasonable price.  I missed the 1100 that I used to have, so a 1200 seemed to be the logical choice.


It's been 8 years since I've had an in-line 4. I forgot how buttery smooth they are.  I rode about 100 miles today on the ratchety BT-021s that are on the bike. (Circa 2005). It only tried to break loose twice, but I was being conservative on the throttle.


I'm mostly going to keep this stock, and do some much needed preventive maintenance.

I've already got some Pilots on order. Can't wait to get some sticky new kicks on her this week.

He can give you a list of mods from his sweet Rex.

Great score! The Eddie Lawson green ZRX 1200 is going to be a classic one day very soon and that one looks to be PRISTINE. "It's not a toy honey, it's an investment!"
I'll never be old enough to ride a sportbike responsibly...
