Lads, No more R1 I'm afraid (JAZZMAN has her now), but I just picked up my ZX12-R. Yippee. Bloody hell, it's quick!!!! Like you wouldn't believe! Imagine an R1 accelerating in first, but in third. I'll still try and serve the squadron though, even though I don't ride an R1. Laters Lads. SATAN

How do find the handling and overall enjoyment compared to the R1? I tested a 02 ZX12 and knew straight away i didnt want one, too big and heavy,she can pick up her skirt though!!!

i just got my '00 ZX-12 a few weeks ago. here's a pic of my first pass at the dragstrip. i'm getting an air shifter and a muzzy clutch upgrade installed as we speak. i should be in the 9's next week, hopefully.

My brother-in-law's after one at the mo, beast of a bike (suitable for the BEAST 666!) How much did you pick it up for?

Lads, Picked mine up for £3900. Best descision I ever made. Yeah the handling is a bit more heavy, but I got this as a project bike, so I'm going the whole Ohlins, Dymag route. It should be a total dirty bitch when I'm finished. As soon as you are back on the road biaggi, we'll have to do that mad Brighton route again, that was some of the best riding I've ever had. That roundabout was crazy. It was the only time I've ever had the R1 flat out in top trying to catch you up. That was a brilliant day. We should arrange another one when you are back on your feet. The beer was good too (and the bitchez on Brighton sea front). SATAN

...You have to admit, it is a classy bitch, the zx12-r. PM me on your mods and their affect, I'd be interested. I quite fancy the muzzy 1270 kit. SATAN

Can't lie, a friend of mine has one and that bitch (zx-12r) seems to pull hard as hell from all gears.
