Funny you say that. I notice that I'm more disciplined on the Z1 then I was on my ZRX. ZRX was just stupid torquey down low, so to smoothen things up I ended up riding faster. If I saw a gap in front of me, I'd punch it and go 200+kph regularly (that bikini fairing really does work). I try that with the Z and I'm forced to put my chin down to the tank, so it's not as easy nor as fun. But it's better that way IMO.I was torn when I was looking for a new bike between the ZRex, zx12,Z1000 and of all things a Buell lightning. I rode the buell and ended up with the Z because as someone mentioned, fuel injection is easier as well as the overall style of the bike itself. I came from a '77 CB750F and love the retro styling of the ZRex, but the Z1k stole the show without me ever having ridden one. ZX12 seemed like trouble, and from the way I ride the Z, I'm beginning to think the trouble is in the rider, not the bike. They're all good bikes in their own way.

That is such a great looking bike! It just has such beautiful lines and an awesome paint scheme too. I can't think of anything else you could have done to make it better. My compliments.Too much to list here's the thread with some of the details: http://zrxoa.org/forums/showthread.php?t=192619
It was a great winter project with help from a few friends.

Well, you could always...I was actually looking for an ELR paint schemed ZRX when I bought my Z1000 instead. I still want one, but prolly not gonna happen.... *sigh*
