Kawasaki ZRX1100 reviews

I've owned and ridden quite a few bikes, and this is one of the best. I'm 54 so I really appreciate the riding position. The motor makes great power, the brakes are fantastic, and the handling is pretty good for this type of bike. I paid $6475.00 + tax, for a brand new 2000,one of the best motorcycle buys that I ever made. I sold a Suzuki sv650 to buy the zrx1100. The ZRX is a much better street bike than the SY. Show less

I bought this bike in April and so far I still love it. it is not the most comfortable bike for long distance touring, but I understand an aftermarket seat makes all the difference in the world. this bike has all the power I will ever need. since April of 2000 I have owned three bikes and I don't believe I will get rid of this one. It's not the fastest or the quickest bike out there, but you will never need any more power. I love my Kawasaki. I might go through more motorcycles in the future, but this is one I will not get rid of. outstanding bike. not one bit of trouble in 6000 miles. Show less

What a fun bike.I've owned a '96 Harley 1200 Sportster,a '95 Ninja ZX11,a '97 V-Max and now my red(only in Canada)2000 ZRX-1100.For me this is the some of all these bikes put together,it has all their qualities. Naked like a Harley, the zx-11 motor and handling, the punch and torque of the V-max even the brakes of the excellent ZX-9.At last I've found the love of my life... Best one yet. p.s.I just heard they have a ZRX-1200 in Europe for 2001...Hummm ! Show less

I almost bought the new Bandit 1200 when on the way home from the dealer I stopped in at a Kawi dealer. One test ride and I was sold. You can ride this bike all day and not get tired. I'm still breaking it in so I have not been much past 65 mph. The bike just purrrs along at highway speed. I put on a set of soft luggage from Chase Harper and it seems to be the perfect sport-tour set-up. I smile every time I get on my new ride. I can't wait to ride home from work! Show less

I just came back from a 550 mile two day trip to Crested Butte. What a blast, the bike ran perfect through many mountain roads. Two mods really made a difference, Corbin gunfighter and a Givi euroflip shield. Rode for hours with no discomfort. Great power and handeling through the twisties and muscle to blast the open road. Thanks Kawasaki for designing a great bike. Show less

Six months, six thousand miles and I wouldn't trade for anything. It'll run with almost any bike, and nothing better than out riding someone on a R1 with a bike that looks like a dinosaur. It's got great handling, power, suspenion, and speed. the comfort is there for the long haul also. if you got have more, there are hundreds of mods that can be done, but most are not even needed. this thing is a monster right off the show room floor. and I got mine brand new for only $6850. ride it and you will believe!!!!!!

I have owned a number of high displacement machines and this is my third Kawasaki. Nothing compares to the fun in this machine. I've only owned it a week and I'm still taking it easy, but the handling, torque and power, make this the best overall motorcycle I've owned. You want fun without the crouched position (OK I'm over 40), BUY IT. Show less

I researched all types of bikes including all Japanese, Harley, Triumph, etc. This bike is by far the best deal anywhere. It looks great, performs even better than it looks, and at $6,600 you can't go wrong. I love it! I prefer the black. Show less

This is the best looking bike in a unique class. I just purchased the green Y2K ZRX 1100 and totally enjoy riding on the winding mountain roads in Utah. It's got lots of torque even at the high altitudes and handles like a dream. I owned an '80 Z-1 Classic before this and loved the bike but it doesn't come close to the handling that this one has. The braking ability of this bike is superb. I can't say enough good things about this motorcycle. I know I'll enjoy it a long time. Show less

What a bike. I have been riding for 19 years and have never been this happy. I just want to look at the bike. But I also want to ride it. I ride by a lot of glass:) I always loved the 1982 KZ1000R. Get this machine, you won't be sorry. Now, I hafta go ride. Show less
