It's got some impressive low-end torque for an inline 4. Most of that can probably be attributed to the engine size and rather large flywheel though. Gear changes are easy, so putting around town is effortless and fun. But you get up into the rev range and the ZRX is almost done, where the VFR is just getting started.

Edit: oh I almost forgot, not having a windshield on the zrx means not having as much fun on the highway. You're more upright than on the vfr and the wind beats you to pieces.
