Crazy colours. smile

One of my business partners has just got rid of his '12 after about 5 years. The bike fitted him well enough, but he just didn't use it enough as they are so 'serious.' He's now got a Varadaro instead.

This was my latest purchase, last year....



It beats me up, every time I ride it, but I don't mind, as it's pretty enough to just look at. smile

I too have a ZX12, my second one. The first one was killed on the Isle of Man by a pickup truck and nearly took me with it.

I wish they would build another one. The Hayabusa is ugly as is the new vfr 1200.

Bonnie - laugh (I know what your getting at!)

My old stead which actually ended by biking career since you cant go any further than this. 439.8hp at the wheel and that was in total road trim. Took a long time to get there but did a genuine 217mph within 1/2 mile from a standing start and only limited since that hit the limiter in top and I didnt have any other sprockets on the day.
Wouldn't do it again as that much power is just waiting kill you. Was fun at the time though, lots of stories of boys on little sports bikes trying on the motorway! smile

Cheers Kaw. I had a cheap 12 before the Busa and it was awsome TBH, fitted me beta as the Busa is a little small and it was bloody quick with just a pipe.
The Busa was sooooo much work and I would not do it again, bike tuning is alot worse than cars when you get serious and ever wants to rip you off. BTW - Big CC did the work or should I say I paid them to do the work and ended up doing alot myself in their workshop as I got fed up waiting for it to be done! Dont even ask what it cost!!! eek

Must be something about your area, and modifying.

The slammed Camper over the road is uber-cool
