Pfft. I love carbs!

I hate carbs. Bad enough to maintain on my single cyl dirtbikes-

I bought a ZRX1200 in 2012, rode it home from the seller on the highway, no problem. Took it out for the next ride and a few miles in- it spit, sputtered and died. Sucked some cuss up in a carb. Managed to get it started and home but I parked it and haven't touched it since. No joke.

Bought the CB1100 almost 2 years ago now. Not a problem. The ZRX is pretty to look at though.

This is precisely the reason why I chose the CB1100 over a used ZRX for myself...

And it only highlights the missed opportunity that came when Kawasaki failed to export the later DAEG version out of the Asian markets. It was fuel injected and had a black powder coated swing arm; the two requisite things in my mind to make the ZRX darn near perfect.
