So brutal, it hurt. The 1990 model ZXR750 had snorkel-pipe ram-air intakes a memorable lime-green/white/blue paint scheme, the ‘Ninja’ tag 107 horsepower and enough attitude to make Billy Idol look tame in comparison. The suspension was hard (firm’doesn’t begin to describe it) the high strung engine wasn’t suited to in-town riding and refinement was nowhere in the Honda VFR league and yet, when it was time to leave other 750s of its t ime like they were stuck in reverse the ZXR delivered.
KAWASAKI ZRX 1200R
Blatant 1980s superbike styling overtones Nude, chunky and muscular. Stanking engine (just the thing to slap a pair of really loud Muzzy pipes on) and taut handling provided you are prepared to fiddle with suspension settings. Get one in the lime-green/white/blue paint scheme and fitted with a bikkini fairing and the modern day ZRX will let you start playing Eddie Lawson all over again.
