Already did, thanks. But honestly, I'd be more interested in a ZX10RR Raptor.

I think that would be good as well, but since this is the first year of production for the ZX10, you know there are going to be some major bugs to work out

ZX10. What bugs to work it? It's a Kawasaki! It will be the ultimate green meanie pure sport bike. Isn't/wasn't the first year ZX12 considered the "best". Ok let's start the debate! I have the "civil" '03 model.

come on man, all bikes, cars, planes have problems the first year of production. I hope it isn't the case here, I love the big green machine, but history shows a pattern man

yeah, the 00 definitely had a few bugs that were dealt with later. but i think most would agree the later (02/03) bikes are better. the 00 is just more desirable cause it's the first year and cause it's not speed limited. but honestly, thats just not an issue. maybe for collectors, that that's about it.

The 02 or 03 may be more refined. But I love the angular nasty I'm going to eat you looks of my 00. And if I were looking for refined I would be looking at a BMW or something.
00 Green.

...and we have the speedo that goes to 220...even if most of us can't get there...but the 'wow' factor is there for the unknowing...and as in all past hi-perf Kawasakis, there's something cool about the 'rawness' of the first year models that some of us 'appreciate'...

And 200 mph on the speedo isn't impressive? This is kinda like comparing nuclear bombs, man. 
I think the 12R is like the M5 for motorcycles. Comfy, maybe not best for race track, but hauls MUCHO ass and will about smoke anything out there.
Just need the cupholders and I'll be set.

I would have to reluctantly say that the B model is a better handling and more refined bike over the A model.
