    Yeah I am a bit indifferent to that myself. Granted we, well most of us here, as americans, can't make shit worth while anymore but at least let us have our fun:p

    This is my bike! Yeah, it's really that fast. I've tried the ZX-14 and I still like the 12R better. (personal preference)



    I know this has nothing to do with anything, but I absolutely cannot resist any chance to show off my bike :D

    Mine is the 2005 model and it's blue. I think it looks much nicer than the 2002 model in the video. It looks like this:

    I will send actual pictures of my bike on request, so yeah, PM me!

    Oh yes, as an aside, I also like Harleys, Victories, BMW, Ducati, Honda, etc etc etc... <3 all motorcycles.

    I love those low cc Hondas, they have a lot of style! Is it the Rebel 250? I learned how to ride on one of those! They're so light and handle so well they're just a ton of fun to ride, plus they look really freakin' cool :D

    I learned on the Rebel 250, then I drove a 1982 Suzuki GS750 (it felt heavy as hell after the Rebel!!), then a 1984 Yamaha XJ750 (it was a precursor to the modern sport bikes, really nicely designed long, tall and thin bike running at around 80 horsepower, a friend of mine had a 1984 Honda VF750F Interceptor, and I honestly liked the Yamaha better even though the Honda looked cooler), Then a 1991 Yamaha FZR1000 (Bike of the decade for the 1990s. It seriously deserved it. If you EVER get a chance to ride an FZR1000, don't turn it down, this bike is fun incarnate! 100% pure hotrod. I even like it better than the later 90s GSXR's, my friend had a 1997 GSXR750, and even though the technology on them was more advanced, the balance on the FZR is just outstanding!), then my dad let me borrow his 2001 Honda CBR-1100XX Super Blackbird for awhile and I got hooked on the hypersport bikes (for when supersport is just not enough!), I was hunting for a 1999 Suzuki Hayabusa in good condition after that (without the electronic limiter and with the limited edition Bronze and white!) but I came across my Kawasaki after that and it just fit like a glove, and after trying it out, I just couldn't have anything else. The aerodynamics and road performance of the Blackbird is superior, I have to admit (it's like flying! You can't even feel one tiny iota of engine vibration on that thing! It's incredible!), but the balance of the ZX-12R is absolutely precise. It was like that bike was made to be my bike, and I absolutely love it. Plus, you can't say "no" to 190 horsepower at 300 km/h!! The ZX-12R would have been the fastest production motorcycle ever built if not for government regulations that forced the engine to be detuned (for good reason imo, even detuned it still makes nearly 200 horsepower and accelerates like a missile). Even so, it's insanely fast and using all its power is just a deathwish. I know it's not for everyone, but for me it's perfect! Ugh....sorry. Ranting. :)

    Did I mention I love my bike? :D
