Coydog posted:First of all, I've never seen a green and purple zrx1200. Just the 1100. Going off the color chart on zrxoa: 1999: ZRX1100, Green, white stripe over purple 2000: ZRX1100, Green, purple stripe over white. Also available in black. 2001: ZRX1200 from now on, Green, white stripe over purple. Also available in black. 2002: Green, tank has purple over white, fairing and tail has white over purple. Yeah I don't know either. Also avail in red. 2003: Green, white over black. Also avail in blue. 2004: Available in red or silver, no green this year. 2005: Green, white over dark blue. They don't post color charts for the 97-98 1100s or post-05 12s, or the fuel-injected DAEGs. Probably because the Rex wasn't sold in the States then.

Coydog posted:That's a really good price on a black framed SV. I've ridden a 650 strom and while it's the same motor, it didn't feel as powerful and nimble as my old sv. Granted, the sv was my first bike and felt like a rocket. They are mid 70s HP, so they are kinda a rocket. But it's a vtwin so power delivery is different. Not sure what you are used to. iirc the 650 in the Strom is detuned a tad from its SV installation.

Gorson posted:“It was interesting psychology that we teased out,” Peloton CEO John Foley recalled in an interview last year with Yahoo Finance. “In the very, very early days, we charged $1,200 for the Peloton bike for the first couple of months. And what turned out happening is we heard from customers that the bike must be poorly built if you’re charging $1,200 for it. We charged $2,000 dollars for it, and sales increased, because people said, ‘Oh, it must be a quality bike.’” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veblen_good

I was gonna dis it on the basis of it being ~150 hp sent through early 90s tires, suspension and brakes, until I considered that I have some idea of how naked bikes get designed and the Rex probably has most of the same poo poo. (I definitely have ZX11 cams, too.) Least the tires are better now! But I'm kinda curious to see if the same Good PO did anything fun to the shocks, cause I haven't opened those up yet.

Yeah that's my occasional pessimism in action. Not having a ZX11 in front of me to directly compare (or your breadth of experience) I just figured "naked bikes tend to be partsbin specials of sportbikes" and I know the Rex owes a fair amount to the Zephyr and the ZX11, so that's how I got there. And yeah, mine does have the ZX11 cams. I pulled the cam dimensions for the stockers and the ZX11s when I did my valve shims a couple years ago, and checked them with my grandpa's Mitutoyo calipers. It's also got the suggested Dynojet jet kit for ZX cams and aftermarket exhaust, which I confirmed when I cleaned the carbs. I haven't investigated the timing and I left the ktric module plugged in. Despite having been threatening to do the carb sync for like a year and a half and never getting to it, it still runs like the goddamn business. I've said before that despite the abuse I've heaped on it since, I really lucked into this bike. I was prepared to buy just a halfway decent Rex but I ended up with one that at least one PO really loved. (That dude died of cancer, apparently.) E: if there's any issue I have with its power delivery it's my wrist is still calibrated for a weestrom, and there's enough torque on tap right away from this motor, that I forget that like the upper 3/4s of throttle travel exists. I'll be like, am I down on power? and then actually twist my wrist an amount, and you can hear me holler "OHHHH THERE IT IS" about two seconds after I've actually gone past Phy fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Aug 4, 2021 |

Yeah there's a crusty old fart on zrxoa* who sells an O-ring kit and float bowl gaskets. Not the float needles tho. My diaphraghms were still pretty supple when I cleaned the carbs a few years ago. *every bike board has a crusty old fart who knows a lot about bikes, be glad our current one isn't that old and doesn't appear to be an actual rear end in a top hat outside of the crustiness Phy fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Feb 25, 2022 |

I see one of those rocket sleds that they used to give test pilots concussions with in the 50s I think Slavvy's right about the donor bike though, square tube frame, finned cylinders, the side covers look about the same. So not so much a rocket sled as the same thing but fitted with a really big rubber balloon where you let it go and it goes thbbbthtbbthtbthtbthbnthtthththtbbbbb.
