Kawasaki extended its retro musclebike lineup with this 'muscle tourer'. Essentially the ZRX1200R with a larger half-fairing, the 1200S was a straightforward way to produce a new all-rounder. The curvaceous half-fairing offers effective wind protection, guiding the blast up and over the rider. A twin-beam reflector headlight gives excellent illumination, and wide-set mirrors further improve usability. A revised dashboard includes a temperature and fuel gauge. These changes make the ZRX1200S a good choice for middle-distance touring, although the 140 mile range of the 19 litre tank isn't particularly impressive. The 1200S carries some extra weight over the ZRX1200R, but handles and performs almost identically.
