Listings
The Kawasaki ZRX1200 was sold in the U.S. from 2001 to 2005 as a tribute to the superbikes of the early 1980s, specifically the Eddie Lawson Replica KZ1000R. It’s a classic Universal Japanese Motorcycle (UJM) formula with a modern twist, using a powerful 1,164cc inline-4 engine derived from the ZX-11. The bike combines retro styling, including a signature bikini fairing and box-section swingarm, with the reliability and performance of a more contemporary machine.
Buying Tips
- Check for smooth operation from idle to redline. The 4 Keihin carburetors can be costly to clean and sync if they've been neglected.
- The stock suspension is notoriously soft. Many owners install aftermarket fork springs and rear shocks; check for leaks and ask about any upgrades.
- Examine the aluminum swingarm and its eccentric chain adjusters for proper function and signs of seizure. Also inspect the frame for any cracks or damage.
- Bodywork, especially the fuel tank and fairing, is expensive to replace. Look for dents, cracks, and mismatched paint, particularly in the signature lime green.
- Most bikes have an aftermarket exhaust. A quality system can be a plus, but a rare original exhaust adds to a bike's collectible value.
