2002 Sportbike lineup reviewed in Playboy
heh..yes..I actually read the articles 
They have a writeup on the 2002 line of sportbikes...the comment about the 12R is:
"When it debuted in 2000, the Kawasaki ZX12R created something of an international incident: The german government passed a law prohibiting motorcycles capable of exceeding 186mph. With that ceiling in mind, kawasaki redefined the ZX12R, tweaking power, handling, braking and looks. It puts 163 horsepower into a 463 pound package. Drag racer Rickey Gadson says riding the ZX12R is like being drop-kicked by God. A religious experience is yours for $10,999.
The Busa review is also there:
"We debated which suzuki to put in this collection: The GSXR1000 is arguably the companys go-fast flagship (145hp, estimated top speed of 175mph). But here, in 15 words or less, is how we made our choice: In 1999, a stock GSX 1300R Hayabusa hit 194mph. The current speed limited model does a quarter mile in less than 10 seconds. It costs $10,849. Do you really need to know anything more?
~yea...the fact that its slower than a 12R would have been a nice addition  ~
Anywhoo...I thought the writeups were amusing.
