The 2004's are in NOW!!!!!
WHOOWEE!!!ALONG WITH THE ZX10R.
http://www.kawasaki.com/index2.asp
NEW
For 2004, the ZX-12R's power delivery is further improved with the addition of sub throttles to the fuel injection system, and new radial-mounted front disc brakes enhance braking feel.
The ZX-12R system utilizes 46mm throttle bodies with injector tips spraying fuel directly at the intake valves, however, sudden changes in throttle opening can sometimes cause hesitation and inconsistent throttle response. The new sub throttles are placed further up the intake tract and are controlled by the electronic Engine Control Unit (ECU), which automatically adjusts air intake to more precisely match engine demand. The result is a smooth flow of power at all throttle positions, similar to that of constant velocity carburetor designs, with the efficiency of modern fuel injection.
Colors: Candy Thunder Blue, Galaxy Silver

Looks like the heatshield on the s-bend is different styling from my '03. Looks a lot nicer.

I don't understand the point of black swingarm and frame only to leave the pimpy gold rotor hats and calipers. THOSE SHOULD BE BLACK TOO!

D.I.D. makes a black chain in 520. It was used by the factory guys like Mcgrath, etc. Looked cool.
