Eddie Lawson
It is an evolution of the ZRX1100, a stylized replica of the "Eddie Lawson Replica" KZ1000R sold in 1982, a motorcycle made famous by the superbike racing champion of the same name. With the ZRX1200R, Kawasaki's goal was to produce a motorcycle with the performance of a modern motorcycle, while retaining a design similar to the original Eddie Lawson Replica.
