2003 ZZR1200 PMB

Description

 

The introduction of Kawasaki's ZX-12R in 2000 had overshadowed the ZZ R1100. reclassifying it as a sports-touring machine. Kawasaki decided to revamp the ZZ-R1100 into a more obviously touring-biased machine for 2002. The increased-capacity engine is similar to the ZRX1200 engine. itself a variant on the ZZ-R1100 motor. The larger bore and stroke means the crankcases and cylinders are modified. and most of the ZZ-R1200 engine has been modified from the older 1100. The frame and back end of the 1200 look similar to the older bike. but the front fairing is a more protective touring item with a taller. wider screen. Taller bars give a more upright riding position. and the foot pegs are lower than the ZZ-R1100 for improved comfort.

The sporting adventurer need look no further than the Kawasaki ZZR1200 sport-touring motorcycle. An ideal vehicle for motorcyclists obsessed with the road. the ZZR1200 is a perfect blend of performance. comfort and style wrapped in a genuine grand-touring package. Originally conceptualized for the European market. the ZZR comes stateside with the best of Kawasaki’s ZRX1200 and NINJA ZX-11 traits. The result is a machine that offers sporty handling. a powerful yet user-friendly engine. comfortable ergonomics and an upscale appearance
