Variable Valve Timing head on a zx12r
Since the bore size is 84mm on the zx14 and the upcoming 08 Concourse here is my question:
Can we put the VVT head on our bikes? I guess I would just have to add 1mm over bore pistons and then the head. Assuming that the electronics would work out.. Im guessing at least 10% more power in all ranges. On my wifes 2000 Lexus LS 400 that VVTi motor just kicks ass from idle all the way to 150mph. My 1995 Lexus same model isn't even close. All this with no increase in displacement. What do you guys think?

Not worth the hassle,I think 12 owners and Concours owners don't want or need the same things.The added complexity is not a selling point to me.

On the street I think it will be excellent, because you can put in big fat aftermarket cams and still have some low end while making the most possable power up top.
Does anyone have a service manual for one yet?
