I see no use for this on the 12R. More for the older bikes with carbs....

It does use an O2 sensor which allows it to run closed loop through most of the range, which could make the 12 more fuel efficient, (I know who own a 12 for fuel mileage.)
Then at full throttle it goes to open loop mode for top end.

a full stand alone at a fraction of the price of a Motec has a certain appeal for those wanting to do more on a budget
check this out, guys running them on turbo busas

Now that the ZX12 ECU has been hacked don't see much to gain with the megasquirt. Thanks to Ridge and others You can tune the original ZX12 ECU. ECUs run for 50-200$ on ebay plus some for the programming device and You're good to go. Of course maybe on turbo You have better knowledge about the programming and selection on sensors but normally don't see much to gain..
