Back a ways Rachel and I were going around to different shops so she could sit on different bikes. While we were at Depot Honda/Kawasaki...I sat on a ZX-12. I loved it! There were a few things about it that I didn't like (the ram air tube, for example...just jammed in the nose like that...ughh). I got off it and there before me (next to the one I sat on) was a Canadian import ZX-12. WOW! Nice ram air tube, better tires (208gp's I think), etc. I REALLY liked it.

Since then I've ridden probably 10+ other kinds of bikes...and the GSXR-1000 has become #1 on my list to be my next bike. However, it's a little less roomy than the TL for my lanky ass...and while I'm sure I could put up with it, I'd rather get something bigger, but still have it perform reasonably well. Derek can attest for how I threw my CBR 1000F around in the corners, so I don't think I'd have any problems on the ZX-12.

So, having seen another Canadian import ZX-12 at the track on Saturday...I'm thinking I need a ride on one. I'm almost certain that it will take the #1 spot on my next-bike list.

Anyone got a ZX-12 that I can take out for a bit?

Oooh for '03 the US model has all the stuff I liked about the Canadian import '02!

Canada, the land of the guinea pigs. Who else could we get to try out all of our produts first to make sure they're safe for US consumption?

That is a real sweet looking ride.

I don't know...I'm strapping a Turbo kit onto my Buds Busa...
I took it from 153 HP, to 176, with add on goodies, and a couple twists of a screw. Naturally aspirated.

The Turbo will produce a "Safe" 230 hp at the rear wheel, with @7lbs of boost, and with rocket fuel, over 300HP at 15lbs of boost!

I road that Busa all day this past weekend...What a F-cking RIOT!
MY neck Hurts! LOL!

...but the busa is BUTT ugly!

[snowborder]

Is this the same busa that was at the track that never saw corners?

[legalspeed]

It's not the corners that get ya, it's the decelleration sickness after!!

[TLRMan]

After I was done with it, it saw corners..LOL
