ZX12R OR ZX10R OR CBR1000RR OR R1 IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO HAS RIDEN ALL THESE BIKES?
I'm the cap lock king
Here is where i stand i just sold my ZX12 Bike fit me great (6'4 240 in gear)Things i liked about hte 12 was the power and was so comfey. Handling was on par also just took more energy.
I had an 929 in the past along with a F4i Things i love about both bike where they where so light and flickable. Things i hated long HIghWAY rides.
So i sold the 12 thinking i would get a 10R frist choice at the time now i'm so confused it unreal.
I have loooked at the cbr1000rr and the frist thing i noticed was how it felt just like the 12R weight wise then the length was verry close to my 12r. This was just from me sitting on it. So i went and compaired the to truns out the cbr is only 1.5inchs shorter and only 45lbs lighter (i had lightened up my 12r by 40lbs so my feel was right on 5lbs). so this kinda turned me off at frist, then i started reading more about the cbr there are a lot of thing i like.
R1 sitting on the bike I can tell right off it's much lighter then both the 12R and cbr.
Zx10R wicked LITTLE BIKE BUT DAM IT's LITTLE.
JUst looking for some real feedback I've never been cunfused like this about getting a new bike. If only i was 8 inchs shorter.

Wait for the gixxer 05, or R1 or zx10.
Wait for the 2006 zx12r,!!!!! come on lets be real....
I remember when the zx9r guys where waiting for the zx10r, years pased and years, and it was reasonable that kawa built it, but a new zx12r it does not make sense.

At 6'6",I sat on the ZX10R and my nose was over the windscreen and it hit me in the lip.Go back over to the other bikes and see where your knees and elbows are.

2k, nice pass there. Your right foot coming up on the pegs quickly reminds me of me....or at least I'd like to THINK I do that, its been too long since I've been at the strip! Have you tried running w/out the seat? Also, how does leaning even more forward work for you? I'd imagine it would help so long as it didn't also become a foreign feeling distraction. First time my buddy on a stock-ish 12R removed the seat he couldn't shift right.
