Owners Book: The History of the Ninja ZX-12R
I was looking online, and I came across this. Supposedly, all owners of the 00 and 01 years of the 12 all received from Kawasaki this book explaining the entire history of the ZX-12. Has anyone heard of this?
I just bought my 12, but its a 02 model and I didnt receive anything like that. Has anyone else? Would they be willing to sell it or loan it to me for a week?

It's a pretty good book. Kind of a unique perspective on new bike development.

Very nice book
The photgraphy is unbelievable. The pages are of a high dollar paper stock. The information is interesting. I thought that only the owners of '00 models got one. Around here, those that bought '01 models didn't get one.

Kawasaki was kind enough...
To send me a second copy, since the first one had a corner bent on it.

I've put it online for those that didn't receive it:

Although it's more fun to have and read the book itself...
