many good pic\'s of the new ZX12

Very interesting. I think the styling is every bit as controversial as the Busa. That air scoop really sticks out and the rear upper trailing edge of the lower fairing creates a long straight line that draws too much of my attention.

Battery service looks tough and how do you adjust the valves if the airbox is the frame? Do you have to drop the engine? Maybe the lifters are hydraulic and they never need adjusting. heh! heh! heh!

The digital display right of the tach is massive and how about those curved things at the bottom. Are they road depictions. Is this thing GPS Map-ready?

But if it whups Busa asses people will get used to the eccentricities in a big hurry. I don't care. A fine rider on a CBR600 could whup me on lot's of roads and I'll just keep on smiling all the way to the end. My Busa is the finest bike I've owned or ridden in my 40 years of experience.
 
I think that air scoop and those headlights make it look like a giang grass-hopper from the front. Any one else see that ???

I hope they change the color. peuter gray is ugly.

Hope for the kawi folks they make it this year. When are they supposed to announce it ???
 
If you look at picture you will notice that they have put little "wings" on the front forks as well as the side fairing. They say it's to reduce problems with "dirty air".
 
Hey upon closer inspection it seems to have a black frame..

could that be all those unused black bird frames kawi bought from honda ?? Drill a few holes in a honda frame ..walla zx12 :)

Its a possibility.
