“Great bike that is big, comfy and stable. Don't expect something that will corner like a lightweight 600 - this just isn't it, but you get a lot of muscle for your money. Engine is great, lots of smooth delivery all the way through the rev range.”
“Let me think, a review on the Rex, I've had this bike for 11 years, done 48K on it, and barring accidents will have it for another 11. For me its the ideal bike, comfy, reasonably quick , its no pocket rocket but holds it own on most normal roads, very reliable the only breakdown has been a holed radiator. The riding position is upright and the fairing offers what I consider very good wind/rain protection although a double bubble screen is a must. It has a proper pillion seat so they tend to also find it very comfortable, on the S the two headlights work well allowing night riding to be a doddle. The 1200 engine is a detuned ZZR lump which offers great low down torque making town riding easy with no need for constant gear changes, and will cruise comfortably at autobahn speeds.
