    The ZRX sitting position leans way too far forward for me. I'm more of a mid-controls and pull back handlebar kind of guy (heavy). Rearsets and leaning that far forward would kill my back and shoulders in less than an hour. Shoot I put some offset risers on my XS11 so I could lean back a little more.

        It's pretty easy to lower the pegs and also to put bar risers on the Kawasaki. You have a nice wide open cockpit area then.

        But you are correct there's more pressure on the wrists compared to an XS standard or special.
