Rider Profile

Best ForThis retro-muscle roadster suits an experienced rider who appreciates old-school heft and a torque-driven in-line four over modern lightweight sportbikes.
PurposeIt's built as an air-of-classic UJM-style allrounder, blending Zephyr-era styling with modern fuel injection and brakes for spirited street riding.
Rider FitAt 246 kg dry with a 790 mm seat height, it demands a physically capable rider comfortable managing its substantial mass at low speeds and in traffic.
CharacterThe DAEG Black Limited has a brawny, muscular character with a deep four-cylinder growl and a heavy, stable feel rather than flickable agility.
Not Ideal ForIt's not for newer riders or anyone wanting a light, nimble machine for tight technical corners or any form of off-road use.

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 2015 Kawasaki ZRX1200 DAEG Black Limited, 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.
