I bought a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-12R. I've only had it about two weeks now. Still breaking it in, but this thing definitely flies!! Haven't even opened it up all the way yet It's still stock, but there are big bore and stroker kits, turbo's, etc. available for it!

Anyway, just checking things out here. I haven't even had the car out of the garage this year. Had a family of mice living in the hood Hope to make the Dream Cruise this year.

I hope it's not your first bike! A good friend of mine has one. I rode it all year in 2002, when my TL was down. It's not really my style, a bit big and bulky, but... can't deny the fast! It's a friggin' freight train in a straight line!

Have fun, be safe, see ya around (I'm on a beat up, blue/white/black gixxer 1000 with a cage and shiny 12bar)

 

Thanks SVT. I tried several names at the SOS, and then just figured I'd try this one. I was surprised they let me have it

The bike link works now. I forgot I was renaming files yesterday!

 

Thanks Mike. No, it's not my first. Surprising how many people ask that I'm 6'2", so it fits me just fine. I can set my feet flat on the ground, not like some of those I've seen who can barely touch it with their toes

GRRRRRRRRRRR some of us dont have a choice!!!!!!!!

I was wondering the same thing as Mike. Thats a hell of a bike! I am sure your gonna have a blast on that thing. Cant wait to hear some track times! Just out of curiosity what else have you ridden?


ZX7R here!

 

Hey Matt,

It's been awhile since I last rode motorcycles, but I've ridden most of the Harleys; Sportsters, Road King, etc., along with Gold Wings, 550/750-fours, an older Kawasaki 750 H2 ?, miscellaneous dirt bikes, and a Little Indian minibike ! Of course I haven't owned all of them Mostly all I've been on recently before this bike have been my quads.

I'm not quite yet ready for the track. As I've mentioned, I haven't even opened this thing up all the way. It would probably end up on top of me at this point. I'm told at 9-10k thing really screams! Still learning the handling, taking it easy. I hear the fairings for these bikes are very expensive

Just make sure you have your organ donor card filled out

 

good to hear your mature enough to know your limits. take your time and learn the bike. when you are ready you will be rewarded. thats a hell of a bike. yes fairingS arent cheap and either are limbs! good luck and have fun!
