Yeah...you guessed it thats the article out of the sept. issue of BIKE magazine,word for word.

My favorite line.
Driven by a transverse-six and using Honda's VTEC technology,it should make 240bhp,according to our optimistic SOURCES.

Well isn't this nice...all of a sudden everyone has SOURCES,i don't even know if you can believe these magazines.

This is friggin amazing,there claiming 240bhp....the Busa makes 175 at the crank,can you say pipe dream??
I haven't seen a leap in HP like that since they invented the Space Shuttle.

But if this holds true,you can bet i'll have in the garage...next to the Busa of course!
Plus they have a picture of it!
A picture of a drawing.

Thanks, Suiciderider...I have to get a copy of that issue of Bike. I always like the historical perspective articles, and ones with some future predictions & rumors. I mean, hey Buddha, rumors are rumors...no matter what mag you read them in, take 'em with a grain of salt, as bike-topic entertainment. After all, until it is sitting in the showroom and you can lay down your cash and ride away on it, all it is is talk.

Motoboy: Were you there during the testing?
Do you have any other information about the ZX-12? Do you know if it handles O.K.? What was your bud's overall impression of the bike? Does he think it is going to be ready for production soon, or was it a kludged prototype? Email me at dhughes11@yahoo.com if you are concerned about insecure bike owners flaming you. We should be happy to be in a competitive bike market, people should be more concerned about their riding ability rather than their ride. However I am up in the air about whether to get a ZX-12 or a Busa, I will most likely wait until next spring to see what shapes up. Any information on the ZX-12 would help though.

Thanks
