Kawasaki ZRX1200S review

Still a big, manly bike for big, manly man, but this time for those who like to duck out of the rain. The sweeties
Solid looks ensure plenty of road presence and the fairing makes longer trips manageable
Lacks the style of its naked brother

Basically the same as the ZRX1200R but the S has a sleeker half-fairing and that’s about it. Lacks the cool factor of an Eddie rep so go for the ZRX1200RBasically the same as the ZRX1200R but the S has a sleeker half-fairing and that’s about it.
