The Kawasaki ZRX 1200 classic road bike was introduced in 2001 as the successor to Kawasaki ZRX 1100. The main difference from the previous version was the increased to 1164 cm³, which in the export version produced up to 122 hp. power and up to 112 Nm of torque. Japanese modifications were "strangled" to 100 hp. power and 180 km / h top speed.
Other differences between the ZRX1200 and ZRX1100 include a new frame and swingarm, which are stiffer and significantly improve handling. There is also a new modification, Kawasaki ZRX1200S , with a sports plastic fairing (factory designation - ZR1200B). The version with the classic half fairing began to bear the name - Kawasaki ZRX1200R (factory designation - ZR1200A). The classic version with a round headlamp was available only in some countries and only until 2004, it was called simply - Kawasaki ZRX1200 (factory designation - ZR1200C ).
By 2007, the Kawasaki ZRX1200 was only available in Japan and was discontinued in 2008. It was replaced by an updated version, available only in the domestic Japanese market - Kawasaki ZRX1200 DAEG (factory designation - ZR1200D). The new version received an injector, petal brake discs, 4-piston calipers (instead of 6-piston), a 6-speed gearbox and increased the maximum power to 110 hp.
2016 was the last year of production for the Kawasaki ZRX1200 DAEG, in which Kawasaki released a limited edition Final Edition motorcycle. Motorcycles in this series featured Ohlins rear suspension, gold calipers and gold rims.
