Just looking at this site for the first time and have noticed very few notes on the ZZR 1200....I have an 05' and sport D&D pipes and carb tweeks, bar end cruise control and speedscreen shield. This bike is quite the machine at cruise and 140+I'll post a photo later with my other compute.r

 

g'day idwin
i'm really new to this site and it's good to see what riders are doing to the zz-r1200 as far as mods and performance upgrades. mine's an 02 model with k&n filter,corbin seat,genmar risers,staintunes,ivans block off plates 16 t front/46t rear sprockets and DID530 gold side plate chain and i did the rear fender removal plus rear hugger to trick it up a bit.funny thing about bikes you just can't spend enough time and money on them.
cheers steve

 

I bought my 04 new last year. It was leftover in an Ohio dealership for 2 years. What a shame the bike is not more popular. It handles well, stops great, rides nice and goes like a bat out of hell. When Motorcyclist magazine printed their performance test results, it was always in the top 5 in the quarter mile, just under the Hyabusa and a few others. And for old farts like me, the riding position is decent enough to handle and all-day cruise.

Iridescent windscreen and ah, well that's all the mods. Been thinking about putting stainless brake and clutch lines on it. Maybe chrome wheels and do some polishing.
It's 3 years old now and has 1000 miles on it.

 

Hang on to them boys. Like my ZRX, they were discontinued in the U.S. '05 was the last year.

 

yes but the new zx14 based units are soon to arrive
the concours is soon to be here and we are still awaiting on the naked zx14 units that has been hinted at to replace the rex
