Z-REX? You'll kill yourself.
That's my 2 cents worth.
Another, yet another, unbiased opinion, get the ZRX, you can kill yourself on almost any motorcycle. Just depends on your riding tendencies. My $00.02 worth. Tom
Oh Tom....poor poor Tom....he's been sniffin that stuff again! So everyone please ignore his color comments because he doesn't know what he's talking about.....the GREEN one is the fastest!! GO CRAZEE!!! That looks nice dude!
tom.....go outside and get some fresh air....take that slower black bike of yours for a short ride so that your head will be clear and you can finally know and see the truth...GREEN RULES
I appreciate the comments. Although, by the looks of it I would guess the 2002 RED ZRX is the fastest of the three. That would be my choice of color too. How is the wind protection on the ZRX?
This may be a stupid question, but is that a "Photo-Shopped" picture of that ZRX or is it a "round light kit" on it or something? that thing looks absolutely sweet!

Hey cooter what kind of paint did you use on your tires?......
Thats pretty cool. I have made one mod to my bike that nobody else has seemed to have made.......I put screen (glued in) behind the side panel openings looks cool and cleans up the panel.

The wind protection seems to be about the same as my ZR7 with the Rifle fairing. I plan on purchasing a taller screen for my ZRX soon. I can't remember the company that makes them. Maybe one of my faster "green" fellow (hooligan) rexers can help out here? Tom
Ha Ha. I have not yet fully conceded on the greener the faster issue until I ride one of those green machines. I have to have proof. Let's see CrazeeMan, is a little closer to me when he gets out of the "Chair Force," 'til then the Black is cooler and smoother! What did you think I was sniffing anyway? Tom
I will have to say that Red has been (2001 zr7s) and will always be faster (2002 ZRX). I make this statement from first hand experience. Tonight the Kawasaki dealer gave me a good deal I couldn't turn down. An hour later I was riding home, once again on two wheels. It is funny how much withdrawl I went thru in two weeks. I think it had to do with the weather being so nice. I only have 10 miles, plan on fixing that since I have off from work thru Friday. First impression is power below 4k is smooth and more apparent (obviously) than ZR7s. Wind protection was nice because the turbulent area on zr7s was right on my face shield, and a bit lower on ZRX. I never realized how addictive a bike would be.
You made the right choice on the bike but the wrong choice on the color! Boogie Man green walks tall and carries a big stick! Silly REXER, red is for chicks!
Hey Fade, I used a Lockhart Phillips tire pen. $3.99
