Is this for real?

Anyone know anything about it if so??

Here is a first picture of Kawasaki's stunning new ZRX: the ZRX1200R.
The retro naked muscle bike has been given a new lease of life with a ground-up redesign.

Well, from what I could find, the rumor looks to be most likely true.

It's a UK only bike (thus far I could find), a restricted engine and for the 2009 model year apparently.

BUT

There is no mention of it on Kawasaki's UK website though.

So it may all be still rumor.

Only available in Japan right now for 2009, but, cross your fingers, they come to North America for 2010. :D

Man, I love the new ZRX looks. I really, really (did I mention REALLY) would love to see it for sale in the USA/Canada. :D

I'll put my money down on one.

Looks like a throwback to the 80s, I wonder how well it will sell.

Nice!

Now, where's the centerstand?
I would be the old, slow guy. Just let me know where you are going and I'll try to get there before you leave.
