There was a green one for sale not so far away from me and I liked the look of it, but ironically I ended up thinking the same as you mentioned on the Zephyr thread, i.e. it's old, slow, heavy, etc.

I don't like them, they're quite heavy, they're usually massively overpriced as well

I had one a couple of years ago. It was a long held ambition but as above - it was heavy, and the gearbox was hardwork. I was hoping it would be like a 1200 bandit but it was nowhere near as much fun. Far prettier though.

A long time ago a G/F's neighbour had one and it looked really cool until I had a sit on it and found it weighted about the same as my G/F VW polo. Probably didn't help that I had a KTM Duke II at the time. Most things felt heavy compared to that, but the ZRX felt like it was made of lead.

I guess there's a reason they are known as muscle bikes...

I had a Zrx1100 for a while and found it a bit of a meh bike .... Nice to look at though.

I had a go on a CB1300 once, all the reviews say they're a bit bland, but I really enjoyed it.

I'd certainly go CB1300 if I was looking for a 00's Muscle bike.
