Kawasaki ZRX1200R был представлен в 2001 году в качестве преемника модели ZRX1100. Его дизайн мускул-байка в стиле ретро вдохновлен легендарной копией Эдди Лоусона Z1000R 1980-х годов. Он был построен на базе усовершенствованного четырехрядного двигателя объемом 1164 куб. см, созданного на базе модели ZZ-R1200, в котором классический стиль гоночных автомобилей для кафе сочетался с современными характеристиками. Выпускавшийся до 2006 года автомобиль завоевал верных поклонников благодаря сочетанию ностальгии, мощного крутящего момента на средних частотах и повседневного удобства использования.

Что следует знать покупателям
Rock-Solid Engine Reliability
The ZRX1200R's inline-four engine is derived from the legendary ZZ-R1200 and is known for exceptional longevity, often exceeding 100,000 km with basic maintenance. It's considered one of Kawasaki's most bulletproof motors from that era.
Watch for Carb Issues
The four Keihin carburetors can gum up and cause rough idling if the bike sat unused for long periods — always ask for a recent carb clean or service history. Fuel petcock failures are also a common age-related issue to inspect.
Strong Retro Resale Value
Inspired by the classic Eddie Lawson ZRX replica styling, the ZRX1200R holds its value well among retro-naked enthusiasts and is increasingly sought after as a modern classic. Clean, low-mileage examples are steadily appreciating.
Поколения и характеристики по годам
Заменен двигатель ZRX1100 объемом 1164 куб. см, измененный дизайн, обновленная рама, крышка топливного бака и небольшие доработки в ходе серийного производства.
"Мощный велосипед старой школы, который до сих пор ставит современных претендентов в неловкое положение."
Двигатель объемом 1164 куб. см при 3500 об/мин развивает мощную механическую прочность, которой нет в современных машинах с электроприводом: треснет дроссельная заслонка в среднем углу дроссельной заслонки, и она начнет скакать без проблем, а крутящий момент. Сидеть на нем нелегко: 228 кг — это реальный вес на медленных парковках, но при движении эта масса исчезает, и велосипедные дорожки уверенно преодолевают подметальные машины. Полуобтекатель — это скорее украшение от ветра, чем защита от ветра на скорости 160 км/ч, а передние вилки достаточно мягкие, поэтому при резком торможении на крутых поворотах необходимо проявлять осмотрительность. Он не доработан, на него не претендует, и именно поэтому гонщики, владеющие им уже десять лет, до сих пор не продают его.

Отзыв покупателя б/у
"A muscular, characterful classic that rewards patient used buyers enormously."
$4,500-$8,500 usedThe ZRX1200R is one of those bikes that makes you wonder why Kawasaki ever stopped building it. That 1,164cc air-cooled inline-four pulls hard from almost nothing, with a meaty mid-range that suits real-world riding far better than a screaming sportsbike. The Eddie Lawson replica styling still turns heads, and the half-fairing actually works on a motorway. It feels substantial without being a pig to maneuver. Buying used, you need to check a few things. These motors are tough but the cam chain tensioners can get noisy if maintenance was neglected — a rattly startup is a red flag. Inspect the forks carefully; the seals go tired on high-mileage examples and rebuilds aren't cheap. Carbs on earlier models need cleaning if the bike's been sitting. Cosmetic parts are getting harder to source, so check every fairing panel before you hand over cash. Overall this is a seriously capable, characterful machine that's been criminally undervalued for years. Prices are finally creeping up as people wise up to what they've been missing.
