Title: ZRX 1100
Post by: fastcataz on July 13, 2013, 01:26:02 PM
A 1999 model. Mean and green, screaming like a banshee. 16K miles, needed a carb clean and batt. All done and it's off to laying waste to Hardleys and other slow objects. Mileage? Logic? Don't care . This thing makes me feel 17 again. Like I ever got old... Can I tell you about the third gear power wheelies? Or the ZX 11 Cams and other bits soon to be installed? 150 RWHP here I come! :D

I don't know the state of your antiquity, but keep a check on those reaction times. I love 150hp, but had to give it up a few years back or the grim reaper was going to be knocking at my door.

 I'm  "just say'n.

 would love to tuck in and crack that thing open coming out of a sweeper

Hey, if old Albert E was right I am getting younger every time I ride it.

One of the few "retro" styled bikes that I think was spot-on from a visual perspective, and spot-on from a comparative performance perspective with contemporary hardware.

Still, I think that I might enjoy one of the originals a little better - less likely to seriously injure my insurance ratings and keep me from doing anything too rash!
