Hey guys, what is the closest USA equivalent to the Suzuki Inazuma 1200? I really love the lines of the tank and the double rear shocks. Thanks

Ummm quick google search brought up what looks to be a bandit with dual shocks and an older style gs tank and side covers. That's what it looks like to me. Hell it even looks like it may be the bandit 1200 motor actually.

Hahahaha I'm not being an ass saying you're too lazy gsf1200. You just happened to post while I was typing/googling.

Anything along these lines:

1200 Inazuma

GSX 1400

shit son that's the kwak zrx1200

suzuki's closest would be like andler said, the bandito 1200.

Anything along these lines:

1200 Inazuma

GSX 1400

[Frogfish]

Yea it looks like the kwak zrx1200 is the closest thing on the US market

 

[gsf1200R]

is this from the kawazuki era when they merged for two years?

 

[gsf1200R]

hehe I want it as a template for a build. I think the tank is perfect and I want the dual rear shocks and big ole engine..

Yamaha XJR 1300 would also fit the bill. Why are NONE of these bikes for sale int he US?

 

[Andler2008]

Welp, because everyone wants the new new. And unfortunately the new new has the gay gay plastics all over it. And to the average rider, dual shocks and steel frames are old tech, and they want nothing to do with it. So there's no want/need for it.

I love the older look and feel of those bikes. The ZRX is still a sexy looking bike here in America but unfortunately it seems like they are becoming more and more rare. I've only ever seen 1 around my area.

Yup guess I'll go with the ZRX. Now time to save some more money and off to craigslist haha

 

[ultimate fighter]

may i suggest a cheaper alternative.
The gpz1100 gpz750, kz1000 ltds, kz750/650
gs 750, gs1150, gs1000

all good bikes that can be had on craigs for cheap

 

[Andler2008]

UF's right. Any of those bikes are great alternatives. They all look great and all can be made to ride very well. Although depending on location will depend on how much you pay for what.

Here in cincinnati area you'll pay $2000-$2500 for a runnning KZ 750. For a 1000 these assholes want you're first born and evrything in your garage. But the GS series bikes can always be had for less. They don't get the spotlight as much as the KZ, but they're just as good.

There's a local ZRX1200 for 3k. Wish I had monies...

 

[Jackstand Johnny]

There was a GS1000 in my area for around $1000 IIRC. The bikes UF listed ARE great alternatives because they can be had for way cheaper than a ZRX.
