Rider Profile

Best ForThis retro muscle bike suits an experienced rider comfortable with a heavy, torquey in-line four and old-school handling manners.
PurposeBuilt as a nostalgic street brawler, it excels at confident boulevard cruising and weekend blasts rather than outright sport performance.
Rider FitAt 246 kg dry with a 790mm seat height, it demands a rider of reasonable strength and stature, especially at low speed and in traffic.
CharacterIt has an air-cooled-look, muscular, old-school Kawasaki character wrapped around a modern liquid-cooled DOHC four, blending retro styling with contemporary reliability.
Not Ideal ForIt is not for riders seeking cutting-edge sportbike agility, off-road capability, or a lightweight, flickable machine.

2014 Kawasaki ZRX1200 DAEG Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 790mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2014 Kawasaki ZRX1200 DAEG, with a relaxed knee angle of around 120 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
