: Busa or ZX12

I am thinking of getting a new bike next year for taking the missus out on and where I don't have my arse sticking in the air, might even save my license !

I have looked at Busas and can't decide as the ZX12 looks nicer in my opinion.

However, I have seen a few real nice examples but on the standard one things like the pipes look crap.

What do you reckon.

Sorry to be honest.

I have a 12. I bought it for two reasons:

1) I too am of the opinion that it looks worlds better than the hayabusa

2) The 12 motor responds more favorably to bolt-ons..the usual suspects; PC, full exhaust, less restrictive air filter.

I suppose you could toss a good aftermarket two-up seat on either the hayabusa or the 12r, and have a much more amicable bike for a pillion rider.

I know that this may sound crazy, but I see the ZZ-R1200 is available in the UK. Butt ugly, but a very capable bike.

Cheers,

Todd

zzr looks a bit boring to me so it's looking like a ZX12 then.

Thanks for an honest opinion

Hey Andy,

Does that mean you'll be selling you 1100? If so, I know a couple of lads that are more than interested.

Take it easy dude images/icons/grin.gif

i like the busa's but for me i'd go for the zx12 its a monster and just been redesigned
i see a lot more busas on the a55 than zx12's

ultimately you cant go wrong with either both are top bikes....wish i had the choice
arent a&d in denbigh both suzuki and kawasaki dealers? trouble is they want you to be on the verge of buying before they'll let you test ride

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">That is because your eyes are drawn to a Busa due to it being so damn pretty.
The zx12 on the other hand just blends into the crowd graemlins/laugh.gif graemlins/thumbup.gif
