OhYeah:
I have a deposit on a 2000 busa. Why do you want to get a ZX-12? The dealership where I have my deposit is Kawasaki/Suzuki. When I heard about the rumors of the 12, I asked him if I could switch to the 12 if it turned out to be better than the busa. He said it wouldn't be a problem, but suggested that I still get the busa. I asked him why and he said that the 12 doesn't look to be 'that' much better, it's the first year production (possible fixes like the busa experienced), and the busa will have more after market equipment having been out a year more than the 12. He also said the busa would be working easier (larger displacement) to put out the 150-160 rwhp. I plan on putting in big bore kit after I run through the warranty period and I've seen posts of 3mm over for 1396cc and they claim approx 200 hp.
Do you think this would be easier with the 12?
I've bought all my bikes from this dealer and I trust him - so why do you, a current busa owner, think that the 12 is the real deal? Why would my dealer be steering me towards the busa?
