I am starting the search for a zx12. I was wondering if anybody knows of one around phoenix for sale. What should I look for on one if there are any problems specific to that model or years I should be looking for.
4k will not find you a 10, trust me. There are a few questions you need to ask yourself about that deicision:
-What am i buying it for?
-What type of riding do i do?
-What body type was this bike desgined for?
-Is power or handling more exciting to me?
a 12R with full exhaust and a PC will spank a 10 on the top end of things unless it's a brand new 10R and even then it's going to be a rider's race. 12R i looked at came with a 187whp dyno sheet. The 12R was designed to be a sport-tourer, just like a 14R or a Busa but not quite as massive.
The ZX10 is a race bike, no way around it. The bike belongs on the track, same as my ZX6R, the bikes aren't happy unless they're living above 10k. If you're a weekend warrior and like to get out and do a lot of miles on your rides, get a 12R. they are awesome bikes for long distance rides but still look sporty and when you crank that throttle, it's like warp speed. Insanity.

Thats why they are so hard to find. Their owners DO NOT want to sell them and there is a REASON for that.....
Ultimate Sport Tourer or Ultimate crotch rocket.... If you have a grrl fren, she will like the Ultimate Sport Tourer better.... and anyway, who really can run a 10R @ 8-9/10s of its performance level & isnt lying? :evil:smile
If I didnt buy my ZX11, I would have bought a 12R in a heart beat... Everything the ZX11 is and, MORE, MORE, MORE!!!
That sucks J , you gotta get working soon so you can go on the next zxf ride :crazyloco. Good luck on the job search , I hope all goes well .
