Yes, it’s a ZZ-R1200

Hot on the heels of a new 636cc ZX-6R and a revamped ZX-9R, here’s Kawasaki’s 2002 ZZ-R1200.

The fast tourer’s bodywork is considerably changed from the ZZ-R1100 which precedes it, the lights are radically different and the engine is of course bigger-bore and fuel injected.

It looks to have pretty much the same chassis as the ZZ-R1100. We expect it to make around 150bhp.

We’ll bring you more details as we get them.

In the meant time, follow the links, right to compare the ZZ-R1200 with the ZZ-R1100, and to comment on the new bike.

And keep checking back over the weekend for yet another new bike, this time from Suzuki.

On Monday you can expect another high performance new bike… we can’t say more until then.
