hi all -well my dream was to own a zrx 1100-now maybe its possible somebody may trade me for my cbr954 with 15000mile for the eddie lawson edition [1999] with 6000 miles -just a couple of scratches on the front fairing-its got a full muzzy exhaust and a dyna tech stage three kit installed -is any body famillar with theese bikes that could give me a little info [their forum really blows!!]any problems or recalls?as i said i grew uip with the kz and z and cb -always wanted one of theese but dont know much about their history -so if anybody could clue me in it would be much appreciated thanks ...mike

I've never ridden one but always thought they were pretty cool (for a modern bike). FWIW, I know a couple of people who have owned/ridden them and they rave about them.
Good luck,

I like mine so much that my KZ is still in boxes in the back of the garage.

The only problem I have ever heard of happened on a hand full of ZRXs that have been laid down. The theory is that oil starvation causes failure of the #3 main bearing. There has been much discussion of this on that forum that you claim "blows." I have found the ZRXOA forum to be as helpful, friendly and knowledgeable as this one.

yup i was on a different forum that covers a multitude of the zr bikes ill check this one out since it is model specific thanks.. mike....

a lot of guys complain of the seats being too hard. i have 1 on my kz and agree with that statement. when u get onto ZRXOA.COM look up the Wog seat mod. this guy has modified a few hundred seats. they look amazing and are very comfy, so I’m told. they get rave reviews. i have 1 on my wish list.
if u love them that much , u should give 1 a try, or u will always wonder.
good luck with the trade.

I own a 2000 ZRX1100. Most fun I've ever had on a bike yet. I'm also a member of the ZRXOA (same name) and the forum there is very supportive! Definitely one of the best ones out there.

The oil starvation on tip over can be an issue as well as rolling forward on the kickstand if you are not careful. Other than that, I don't recall too many others.

Except for mod fever! It will hit you hard.
