What are the differences between Kawasaki Zephyr and ZRX in performance, power and vehicle types?

First of all, I think that Zephyr and ZRX are street cars of Kawasaki, but they are two different styles of street cars with completely different design concepts.

These two kinds of street cars started from level 4 to the public upgrade, and the original production year of that one is before that one. You can check the official website of Kawasaki, but Zephyr must be before ZRX-why? I will explain later. Moreover, these two models of each displacement class are still in production. This shows that Kawasaki attaches great importance to its two models. After all, the market decides production, and these two models have a large number of supporters all over the world!

why I can't help nagging here? It's because you have really understood these two models. Here, I want to share a little bit of knowledge I know with you, so as to give you an understanding of Kawasaki's cars.

Let's talk about ZRX first. To tell the truth, personally, ZRX is more Kawasaki's style, with a tall appearance and simple appearance at first glance, but there is no lack of scientific and technological content!

The key point is his engine design. Anyone who has read the article "Straight Four Doctrine" should know that I won't move bricks here. It is very easy to say that I personally feel that the power of low rotation is a little poor, but the speed climbs quickly and falls back quite quickly. If you often touch street cars, you will feel that the engine design of this model is more like a sports car! I am fortunate to have been exposed to almost all types of street cars in Zigong. It can be said responsibly that in a 4-class streetcar, it is definitely ZRX's world after 1 yards on the straight! (The bandits don't know, because I haven't met any good bandits 75A or 7AA in Zigong) And the mechanical design of this model is more complicated and more reasonable than that of Xifeng (don't ask me why, I can tell without a word or two. . . )

Tell me about the shortcomings of this car (in fact, this shortcoming has two sides, and the so-called loss will lead to gain):

1. The body is too heavy. The sitting height is higher than that of ordinary 4-class streetcar, which leads to the lack of flexibility at low speed and the lack of sharp start because of low torque output (personally, Kawasaki's speed should be described as "fierce" as the accumulation of strength rather than the instantaneous explosive force like bandits), but as mentioned earlier, this problem has two sides: the body is more stable when it is heavy at high speed, so ZRX is more suitable for high speed than other models, so after 98 years. Kawasaki replaced ZRX with TOKICO's opposite 6-piston calipers in order to be able to stop this heavy horse more effectively at high speed-which is unique among 4-class and even public-upgraded streetcars! Moreover, Kawasaki was originally a heavy industry producer, and his cars have always been a big horse. There are many mobs in Europe, and ghosts prefer big things.

2。 The rear wheel hoop is 18! In fact, this is the original intention of the manufacturer's design, and it has not changed since the very beginning of production. Personally, I think this is set for high-speed cruising, and the role of one-size tire is the same as that of one or two teeth missing from the rear tooth plate (maybe this is also related to the weight of the car); However, this design is often criticized by me personally, which reduces the steering performance of corners and the problem of seat height has caused psychological pressure on high-speed downward bending.

Speaking of which, I want to talk about the ZRX's rear rocker arm spreading out like a figure-eight steel pipe. In fact, this design is unique and very successful in street cars! Take a closer look at its shape and then look at the rear rocker arm of issue 23-29. What do you think is the same? ! In this way, although you only see that the rocker arm has only two steel pipes, it fully takes into account the rigidity needed to accelerate the rear wheel on the straight road and the toughness needed on the corner! This design is taken from the sports car, and it has been deformed on ZRX to make it more suitable for the style of a streetcar. How about aluminum alloy? To tell you the truth, the rear rocker arm of ZRX12 is made of aluminum alloy, but it is also an 8-shaped embracing design ~

Besides, the appearance of ZRX is well-founded-it is taken from the Kawasaki Warhorse of Eddie Lawson, who won the AMA SuperBike competition in the United States in 1981. It has a traditional streetcar shape, but it has the modern performance of Kawasaki in the 21st century. It represents the pride of Kawasaki! Many car fans in China think that pig's head is not good-looking, like farmer's money. In fact, it is because domestic street cars have copied this model (evil, motorcycle manufacturing in China). Here I want to say that a friend said that imported cars are easy to break down, hehe. Compare an imported car in 26 with a domestic or domestic joint venture car in 26. Most of the imported cars you see may be super-old and have been fucked many times by a large group of motorcycle hungry people in China. These people fuck Japanese cars just like the Japanese fucked our women. It's terrible. May I ask, if this is the case, can you still find a domestic one to compare? Probably the bodies are gone! In Japan and Taiwan Province, many car fans admire the shape of a pig's head. They think that the small dome represents the king and the essence of ZRX. This is what I personally appreciate. It is unique and unconventional. Personality, I like it! In addition, ZRX also has a version without a dome called ZRXII. The price of the round lamp is several thousand less than that of the lamp. This is a product to cater to the market. After all, not all people are willing to pursue individuality. I feel that the round lamp has lost the original charm of ZRX. In maintaining the original personality of the car, Kawasaki Company has exposed the characteristics that it is a Japanese company, and deliberately caters to the market. Unlike European car manufacturers, they always adhere to their own principles and do not deliberately cater to consumers. But it is precisely because of this that these buyers feel that things are worth something. How can human nature feel a bit cheap? ! Despise Kawasaki Company here!

Generally speaking, ZRX is a locomotive with strong unique temperament and high performance under the shape of a traditional streetcar, and it will never be mediocre, which is also the spirit of Kawasaki!

let's talk about the west wind. The west wind should be said to be the initiator of modern uncovered street cars. In the middle and late 198s, the road racing-like covered sports cars occupied almost all the markets in Japan, and the four major car manufacturers rushed to produce corresponding products-CBR, GSX, FZR and ZXR, which we now see, were the products of that era. But the market is a little tired of this. Everyone is tired of the tired driving posture and daily complicated maintenance of road racing cars. At this time, Kawasaki did the opposite and launched the first modern NK without a fairing. He is Zephyr! The introduction of the west wind has brought a new choice and a new idea to the lifeless market dominated by road racing imitation-this is regression, which is now popular among us. Why is it called retro instead of innovation? Because everyone knows that motorcycles are mechanical beasts that expose their engines from the beginning. However, it is not appropriate for us to call Zephyr a modern NK-since the appearance of new sports streetcars such as FZ1, X11 and Z1, streetcars with double shock absorption bodies like Zephyr CB XJR are a bit like yesterday's yellow flowers. But their supporters believe that such a heavy behemoth really conforms to the original design intention of NK car.

It was mentioned earlier that the original production age of Zephyr was earlier than ZRX, which is the reason. After the introduction of Xifeng, the other three major automakers discovered the huge market of NK and successively launched corresponding competitive models. So you know, the characteristic of the west wind lies in its cultural atmosphere. In Japan, Kawasaki Zephyr is as well known to women and children as Harry Davidson in the United States, and now there are a large number of followers in Japan. Friends who have seen GTO Spicy Teacher believe that the protagonist Eikichi Onizuka is driving a Kawasaki Zephyr 75! The west wind represents the pursuit of freedom and the realization of the desire in the heart, as well as the approachable driving style and simple daily maintenance. Therefore, it is a car suitable for your daily travel and taking your lover to the suburbs on weekends.
