[Nutter34]

What brought the sale on? Something black in the future, or maybe gun-metal grey???
I've seen the bike, very tidy.

[bondagebunny]

its guts out and now you want to make it someone elses problem

My advice to all is never bike that has been raced. Or as my old daddy used to say "rolled bolled and arseholed"

He also said never bike a vehicle from some one you know - it will always end in tears." Damned if he weren't right on that as well.

Thrashed it's guts out??...I don't think so

someone elses problem??...WTF?

You've obviously never ridden a bike with this much power, do you have any idea how hard it is to "thrash" a bike like this on the road?

What do you ride again?

I would bet that all the 600's and 750's on this site have had a harder life than my 12.

It's hardly been a race bike, seeing the strip only 3 times and 1 trackday in over 4 years.

Dangerous : yeah I know that 12 you speak of...now that bike has a race/drag history.

I did wounder that ther had to be a reason why it was sent down here to sell.
A mate was looking at it but was put off by the few marks that are on it... he went for a Busa instead.

[Wheeliemonsta]

Gidday Physco,
As a fellow owner, I have to agree with you there... It is nigh on impossible to "thrash" a 12.

I've got, just one deeply philosophical question, though :

You own the fastest production motorcycle on the planet :2thumbsup , which also doubles as a bloody good tourer, what the hell do you replace it with :spudwhat:

Enjoy the challange :brick:

C U

[dangerous]

You own the fastest production motorcycle on the planet
Now hang on a min....... correct me if I'm wrong, but isent the Hayabusa the fastest production motorcycle on the planet??? the 12 being the most powerfull production motorcycle :spudwhat:

[PSYCHO]

Monsta, replacing the 12 will be a tough thing to do, thats for sure. If it doesn't sell I'll just hang on to it aye...what a bummer :2thumbsup

Dangerous, I've heard enough of that 12 v Bugly shit to last me a life time :angry2: , believe me.

[dangerous]

Just asking...... dident mean it to be shit, and dont get :angry2: man. Its most likely eralavent as being on paper is one thing (dyno readings) and put these two bike s side by side depending on road condition/rider etc you would think that the result would be differant every time.

[PSYCHO]

The bus is a fast bike no doubt about it.

The :angry2: wasn't aimed at you mate.

[Wheeliemonsta]

Physco,
All I can say, mate, is, enjoy the challange should it happen... and to those lost souls that still, painfully, hang on to the "Bus is better than the 12 argument" I say this :shake:

N.B I must hasten to add... Do yourself a favour and own one... (a 12, that is) :niceone:

C U

Hayabusa ownership is like :brick: especially when, even an average "12" can do this... :ar15: to your so called "pride of the fleet"...

See you all at the next "Track-Day"...

[marty]

can we see some pix? i'm looking at an upgrade, would love a busa (size fits me perfectly) but *could* look elsewhere....

i'm riding a busa tomorrow in tauranga, talking turkey with trades etc...

[Wheeliemonsta]

Gidday Marty,
Go no further than www.zx12r.org, your wildest dreams will satisfied... Like Physco, I have to say, that the "Bus" aint a bad bike & you can't deny the fact that the things "haul - some serious arse" IMHO the "12" is just a more civilised beast
My suggestion would be to ride both of them and from there formulate your own opinion...

Should, your decision fall apon a "12" a very good freind of mine has a near "mint" Malaysian market (A-1, i.e 181 ps @ rear wheel - factory) model for sale... $14.5k o.n.o will procure it. It's only downfall, again IMHO is that it's a green one... Never did much for me that colour...

Enjoy

C U :niceone:

[PSYCHO]

Here ya go Marty, I haven't got alot of pics of the bike, but here is one.

Monsta, are you a member at "the org" ?

FROM A WELL KNOWN WEB SITE ON THE NET.....SPORTSRIDER

KAWASAKI IS FASTER AND 100cc SMALLER IN CAPACITY...



In this dog-eat-dog world, you need 160 horsepower just to get off the porch. We unleash Kawasaki's ZX-12R and Suzuki's Hayabusa and let them play in the tall grass.

We love a challenge around here, whether it's keeping Kento in sight through a particular set of twisties or simply turning in a story on time (for a change). The proverbial gauntlet was thrown then, when our ZX-12R moaned past the radar gun at a measly 185.6 mph, and the Hayabusa-a bike we damn well know is capable of 190 mph-could only manage 183.9 mph. With a tailwind.



END OF ARGUMENT.....i HAVE HEARD A OF A HYABUSA SPEEDO BEING MILES OUT AT TOPSPEED.....Hmmmmm

[Sensei]

181 RWHP ??? No they haven't . That is at the motor dude ! Would have to be 200HP at motor to get 180 at the wheel & no bike has that on tap yet !! Have riden both Busa & 12R . Busa handles & goes great , 12 better handling & abit better top end but not as good down low . Would go with a Busa just for the comfort & bottom end power . Still love the 03 GSXR1000

181 RWHP ??? No they haven't
I did wounder that when I 1st red it, so I asked a mate thats up with all that kinda shit and he said it wouldent be that far off it.... but now I'm woundering if he meant RWHP or crank.
I ran his stock Busa up on a dyno and managed 164RWHP another Bussa went up after it and pulled 173RWHP it had been re tuned to a 4-1 pipe and K&N. The 12 does pump out more but how much I dont know, but after riding the 12 I mentioned earler it wasent a patch on the Busa.... this 12 had the weardest idle kinda serged +/- 1000rpm may have been the PC3.

[PSYCHO]

From what I've seen and understand, a stock 12 will make (on average) 2-5 hp more than a stock bus,and that's no where near 181 at the rear (sorry monsta), but will be down on torque of course . There's really not alot between the 2 bikes in performance in stock form. And it depends on what magazine you believe as to which one is faster.

Dangerous, the idle hunt is common for a 12 with a system ,especially a muzzy,but there are cures for that.
