Looking for a ZRX (zephyr) from 400cc to 1200cc

That's not a zephyr- they were air cooled (with a small oil cooler). The Zephyr was retro - more Z900 ish.

Thanks for clarifying mate

, I like both of them as they are quite similar. Unfortunately not many of either zephyr or the ZRX out there.

If you do get one (1100/1200cc). First thing is junk the stock exhaust.. weighs 2000 pounds and so restrictive its almost criminal. Friend drag races one and we eventually cut the muffler and mid pipe off only to find the outer steel had a weird material in between another inner steel layer. The collector area was full of baffles etc.. truly the most restrictive exhaust ive ever seen.

Yep.. I have a ZX10 pipe on mine. I also have D&D can if I want loud.
You can get the stock exhaust and chop 20cm off the end, and then put the end back on (its called "the bulldog"). Gives a great, loud, low sound, and removes restriction.

Lots of info here: http://www.zrxoa.org
and also here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/254895667961123/ and http://zrxoc.org

I have a few spares and have done quite a bit of work on mine now, so feel free to ask (and make offers of many many thousands to buy it :P)
