02 Zzr

Here's a pic of my 02 which I use a daily transport. Talk about the ultimate sleeper bike, most folks have no idea how fast these things are, straight line or twisties.

aint that the truth. I have over 50000 miles on my ZZR and the dyno shows no drop in HP or TQ. Good for 500+ mile days and super comfy in the twisties.

Wish I could see the pick here at work.

Guess I'll have to wait until I get home. I have just over 17K on mine (only 1K are mine though). Picked it up last fall. Ride it 4 days a week now that the snow/ice are gone. Last day is to bring new clothes to work in my other summer toy - 1973 Barracuda w/440. Love the bike and can't wait to start racking up the miles this summer! Definately a beast and everyone here mistakes it for a BMW (large decals removed - and I think the tank badges are coming off next to clean up the look a little more).

That was the first 'mod' to my ZZR...I removed the tank letters and decals.

I slapped a set of these on:

and confuse the crap out of people on a regular basis

Nice! I'll have to see what I can find. I am sure that there are some Porche badges around that are just big enough to be seen.

Love my '02. 35,000 miles on it now. Like you guys said, nobody knows what the hell this bike is.

F&D - How do you like the 14?

I love the 14, but I have to admit, if I were forced to chose between them, I'd choose the ZZR over the 14. The ZZR is just more comfortable and practical.

F&D - Have you done any major mods to the ZZR? I've put on a Corbin seat and that is it - no Helibars or Gen-Mars. But I haven't ridden far enough to really see the need yet. I just have to adjust my hand/arm position a little from where it normally would want to be. I also have a Zero Gravity ST windshield on the way to deflect a little more air. Other than that, not sure what I want to do - except add a TomTom Rider 2 when the funds allow.

F&D · 04-17-2009, 03:25 PM

Yeah I've done quite a bit to the ZZR, all comfort and touring-related (see pic above).

Russell Day-Long leather custom saddle. Very comfortable and totally worth the money.
Givi E41 side cases and E360 top case on SW-Motech quick-release racks
Grip Puppies & tank bra
Hard-wired for my Garmin GPS and Gerbing heated gear

It's also got Muzzy slipons which were on the bike when I bought it. They sound great but are very loud; pretty well blown-out now after 36,000 miles.

MrMopar440 · 04-20-2009, 03:02 AM

Thanks - I'll have to look at the pic at home - server blocks it here. I also had Muzzy on mine when I got it. Definately loud - I barely pass the dB measurement at the annual inspection (94.7 on a 95 max).

I too have Muzzys slipons and this thing just purrs, '04 ZZR1200. It's not loud or obnoxious at all.
