Can the ZX-12R replace my Aprilia?
Don't get me wrong, I love my Falco. Deeply. Without reservation. In a way no man should really ever love a motorcycle. Whoops. Too much information. Shirley I digress...
I would like to keep my falco, but I want another bike and don't want to sell my ZRX (a big, comfortable excellent hot weather bike) or my SV (it will teach me to ride on the track), so that leaves the Falco. The Falco fills the sport touring role and the chick magnet role. It fills the exotic role and is just one doggone fine looking motorcycle.
But I feel the need for speed. I must have more torque. I want to experience 9 second 1/4 mile times at 145mph. I want my eyeballs flattened against the back of my skull to make everything look funny. I want to go from zero to a hundred in a blink of an eye... I am looking seriously at a ZX-12R to fill that need.
Am I just being too greedy? Will I miss the sexy, smooth Falco after jumping on a brute like the ZX-12? Will I be able to keep my license? I mean, c'mon, my jacket won't match anymore!!! Will my wife divorce me?
Sorry if you already read and responded to this on zx-12.org..

Don't call me Shirley ever again!
Get a red one and your jacket will still match! The hp is addicting and the bike is deceivingly fast and smooth and still pretty nimble. You could also sell the bike and seriously hop up your Rex. You know you want to...
Red ones are faster!

Don't know if you'll keep your license on a ZX-12R. Can you believe it? I got another FUCKIN' ticket last night!! That makes it 5 in the last year. Shit.
