What are the differences in these three bikes? Any major ones?

I think the ZRX1200S is a euro version with a quarter fairing. ZRX1200 is just a shortened term for ZRX1200R, which is the actual designation.

Reminds me of the gPZ 1100 series of the 80's.I had a 83 red one with red wheels.Was the sharpest bike I ever owned,IMHO.First bike into the 10's.When that thing hit 7500 you knew it.Under that it felt like a 550,no bottom end at all.Wish I had a pic.But your bike is sweet looking.Was alot of arguing on the REX site about ZZR cams and Muzzy cams.Saying all Muzzy was is an oem Kawi part.I did some research and heres what I found.The cheapest place to get ZZR1200 cams I think is Ron Awers at 666 dollars.Muzzy wants 599 bucks.So if they are the same I'd go with the price.I do like ordering parts and tires from Ron.9 times out of 10 he is the low price.Muzzy wants 1200 dollars for his 1224 piston kit which seems to make 155hp coupled with his cams.He sez 165 but real world 155 sounds resonable.I'm comfortable putting cams in but not doing a big block kit.I been trying to sell my bike for about 4000-4500 and no bites.'s got 12000 miles and in great condition.Wanted to get a ZX-10 or 14.So might as well throw 3 grand in the motor so it will run 9's also.

There is at least 1 ZRXs conversion done by one of the guys over on ZRXoa.org

According to an old service manual I have left over from my ZRX1200 days, the following pic is the ZR1200-C1 (ZRX1200 no R) and is or was available in Europe. The ZRX1200S is actually the ZR1200-B1 (Europe only) and the ZRX1200R is called a ZR1200-A1 by the manual. Here's a pic of the ZR1200-C1: (and BTW, anyone need a 2001 ZRX1200R service manual? I have one for $30 shipped in the US)
