One of my favorite bikes is Kawasaki ZRX series

Auto Trend - One of my favorite bikes that has been through the SR shop was the 124-horsepower Project Z-ReX (October '99), built from a Kawasaki ZRX1100. Needless to say, I was looking forward to the ZRX1200 and expected it to be everything our project bike was.
KAWASAKI ZRX1100-1200: Motorcycle Fenda Extenda Imagine my dismay, however, to find that the ZRX has lost its appeal to me. It could be that the swingarm pivot was loose and I was still wary after tightening it. Or maybe it's that the engine overpowers the stock chassis a bit too easily now.Another one of my favorite bikes was Motorcyclist's Bandit 1200, a test bike I hogged a lot last summer. But our bike just doesn't seem the same for some reason. It feels slower than I remember, and the suspension doesn't work as nicely. Maybe it's because we just finished testing 600s and open-class bikes, and these bikes simply don't do it for me anymore.But I think the real reason that the ZRX and Bandit have lost some of their shine is sitting down in the shop right now, and the key is in my pocket--the FZ1. You just can't argue with the R1-based engine and how light the Yamaha is--although the Kawasaki and Suzuki do an admirable job trying. Now that Yamaha has upped the ante with a recent-generation motor though, I can't stop thinking that someone has to step in with a stiff chassis and inverted fork soon. Hmm, project FZR1, maybe?

Motorcycles Kawasaki - Independent thinking and action.

Kawasaki says the new company in 1924, this time in the industry and aerospace. In 1949, he decided to write to the production of motorcycle engines could be adapted to motorcycles. FIRST motorcycle engines? Product Kawasaki Motorcycle.

For his leadership, his career was the two DC-60 engine and 150cc and 250cc four times with the technology to BMW, the company, she reports / ratios, since its launch in the aviation industry. It was not until 1954 that Kawasaki Motorcycles produces his first complete motorcycle under the name Meihatsu (a subsidiary of Kawasaki to the plane). Almost at the same time, also tried its own line of scooters on the market, but soon realized that they could not compete with these two giants of the automotive industry these days: the Fuji Rabbit and silver Dove Mitsubishi.

And before continuing maintenance of the history of motorcycle Kawasaki, I have a great retreat ...

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE HISTORY OF KAWASAKI MOTORCYCLE MECHANIC We can not talk about Kawasaki without mentioning another make that will no doubt Honda Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, and one of the great protagonists of the Japanese Motorcycles scene:

-> Meguro Motorcycles: better knowledge of the realities of the time when "the old man and the king of the four works." Meguro wrote for the motorcycle industry in 1937. Do you have a good relationship with the government, people in Meguro orders from the army. Z97 was his first bike: a bicycle from the tube-valve 500cc Motosacoche from Switzerland. It should be noted that this model is a success for the factory and the Z97 in production until años'50. For many years, very good 250cc Meguro and cup valve 350cc single-cylinder models, and powerful binoculars.

All with a very strong influence on the English language. Then, thanks to his commercial success, as well as the glass tube 125-DC for your kitchen and two-cylinder 650cc low-end to extend the already existing 500cc. However, in 1958, when Meguro débarasser evidence of the influence of Britain, when he became ill ... Based on the prototype for the benefit of the Asama (one of the biggest races that time), Meguro Motorcycles three nice and elegant machines with an air shaft: 125cc E3 years 250cc and 350cc and F a. Unfortunately, these bikes were too heavy and did not receive the attention of buyers. Meguro will soon return to the standard valve cup.

The motorcycle left Meguro as one of the 10 largest producers until 1960, but due to bad decisions, as already mentioned, started the company back, and was soon bought by Kawasaki. In 1960, Meguro initial agreement with the Motorcycle Kawasaki, and in 1962 had completely disappeared. ....

And this brings us back to Motorcycles Kawasaki ... In 1960, the company has decided that the impetus for the motorcycle division of Kawasaki plane: They do Meihatsu market the brand to build its own plant of low bandwidth and low-power machines and buy Meguro. These brilliant moves and decisions contributed Motorcycle Kawasaki, for a large number of models on the market. The engine of the Kawasaki bikes have to offer at this time (in the sixties) to crush the black-and-scooters 50 cc motorcycle with a double click on the large end of a high and beautiful bottle 650 DC.

What is important to note that due to the nature of Kawasaki motorcycles has always under the Franco-aids in the industry and a sense of independence from its main competitor, is always available. Since most of the stories were written, most models were produced, and most of the race was Motorbikes Kawasaki, the truth is ...

Today, the engine of the Kawasaki motorcycle to one of the key players in the industry and in keeping with tradition, which today offers a wide range of products for every need and taste nice.

He had a speed of 250 km / h and took the title of "world's fastest bikes. He also named Bike of the Year "in 1984.

Their power, combined with a strong frame and good suspension, is a popular tourist machine. In 2002, the ZZR-1200, which improved handling. A ZZR-600, and in the fight.

In 2003, 638cc, ZX-6R to replace the 1995 version. This machine has been completely changed all of the bike must be quick, fast and aggressive. In the Z1000 was designed as a racer this year. Apparently, Kawasaki was on a tree.

His motorbike was a relatively short history, but Kawasaki has been done more than that, some manufacturers, in a hundred years. Not surprisingly, therefore, that the owners remain loyal to the company and product names are eagerly waiting for the next exciting development and influence, and you come to our minds.

Kawasaki ZRX1200 DAEG: Thoroughly Modern UJM

By Dirck Edge
When Kawasaki ZRX1200R submitted to the U.S. market several years ago, she was very popular with the average age of riders looking for a bike with traditional styling and modern works. Apparently, Kawasaki, I do not think that the American market in need of a bicycle, as at this time, but since he has just introduced a modified ZRX, known as the ZRX1200 DAEG exclusively for the Japanese market.

Despite the fact that the styling is similar, the new ZRX has significant changes in the U.S. TRIM (Japan horsepower restrictions), will ensure growth in productivity, not only from the engine, but also from the brake system and chassis. The new bike finally gets fuel injection, as well as the port and the work of the valve in the engine department, a new exhaust system and a six-speed gearbox (an old bike, it was five-speed). New Tokico brakes consist of a four-piston calipers squeezing a pair of petal-shaped front rotors measuring 310mm and one piston/250mm rotor combo in the back. Steering geometry has changed, and revised suspension settings front and rear. The rear shocks are new, and established in different corners. They have two stages of the sources. Swingarm looks like one found on the old model, but also new.


The body has been slightly modified (obvious to discerning eyes), and new tools. Personally, Kawasaki, we would like to bring the bike in the USA. We were very pleased with the original ZRX1200, and love to sample this new machine.
