The Guys on the ZX12 mailing list are all laughing at us

[OB_Zarniwoop]

So why don't we all subscibe and show them the error of their ways. (www.onelist.com)

AT LEAST WE HAVE OUR BIKES. KAWASAKI ARE STILL HOLDIN UP THE MIGHTY 12 DUE TO AERODYNAMIC AND STABILITY AT HIGH SPEED, OH AND POOR PERFORMANCE :-)

Maybe they are laughing to keep from crying?

The ZX12's aerodynamic problems were fixed. Unfortunately they contracted with famed Russian engineer Boris Kawasakiski, designer of the mig29. While testing in Germany two passing F-14 Tomcats got a radar fix on an unfriendly target and blew it up. oops.

That is because we are still smileing, and they are forced to search for new emotions since the ZX12 is still little more than a wish and a prayer. Wait till they want to buy aftermarket for that green slug.

I am on the ZX-12 mailing list and may end up getting a ZX-12. I was ready to get a GSXR1300 due to being happy with my 93'GSXR1100, however I thought I would wait until next summer to see what Kawasaki brings. I have to admit I find the ZX-12 sarcasm very interesting on this site. The ZX-12 mailing list does not spend half as much time talking about the Busa as this mailing list does about the ZX-12. But this website is excellent and has a very interesting group of followers. Even if I get a ZX-12 I will frequent this site for information. I just wish a site of this quality gets started for the ZX-12 if it exists. I hope it does I put a downpayment down just to make sure I get first crack at one.

Perhaps someone should start a site for the king of speed bikes instead of just one brand. You could include Busas, ZX-12s, Blackbirds, ZX-11s, or basically anything over 1100 cc. Would make for some damn good arguements.

 

[OB_easyrider]

That sounds like a great idea.

The ZX-12 Mailing list may become hip when the bikes comes out. As one of the original members i like to keep the field covered. I just wish i could race one with the bussa'. We should all join the List. Just dont join the list from the ZX-12 web site. Different list-Real bad. I am not "anti- ZX-12", just love my bussa'.

you people can't be worried,bring all zx12 on!

 

[OB_Ninjaknight]

I am with superman on this one. It isn't like the manufacturer's really give two shits about us we are consumers and all they see is $$$$. Just call any of their customer service numbers and talk to the nit-wit on the other end of the phone if you have a problem. It is all about going fast on two wheels. Basing allegences soley on brand loyalty is silly.

 

[OB_Malcolm]

In a discussion tonight with my friend, who will be getting a ZX-12, and he is thrilled about it; I told him that EVEN if and when the Kawy fixes the wobbling problem I will still kick his ass!! (Pride and one year development time is a hard thing to beat)

 

[OB_Zarniwoop]

Johnnyboy,

The ZX11 is not stable at high speeds, well not in windy condidtions anyway. The Bus handles excellently at high speed, don't it dudes.

Anyway, those ZX12 dudes on onelist are still laughing at us and I still say that alkl of us sign up to their list and flame 'em. You know like "I got on my imaginary ZX12 this morning and did an imaginary 194 mph"

Go get em Johnnyboy!

When are you guys going to start flaming me? I have been babbling on your site now for the past two days. And I own a ZX-11!!!

 

[Guest]

Don't expect to be flamed based only on what you ride or what bike you like on this site. It's the nonsensical and baseless rantings not based on any known facts that usually instigate flames. Some(most?) of us actually enjoy the company of owners of different bikes, their experiences and yes even opposing views. It's the posters who seem to be orbiting Jupiter (regardless of what they ride) that get squashed like bugs here! Some of us have a low tolerance for misinformation/b.s.

Z: Thanks. I'm going check out this website for the Second Coming.

These guys are just too vulnerable to let live. Like the Branch Davideans sort of.

The ZX11 does not go fast enough to experience hi-speed instability.

 

[OB_Ninjaknight]

The power is out now but I have my laptop and the phone line is still up.

I'm bored.

I'll take the bait Kamikaze.

Weren't you supposed to race Jamie?

Scared?

[OB_Kamikaze]

I live in Detroit Mi.,how can I race him???
I'm still working on mastering my 1/4 mile technique with the Busa,but my GSXR 1100 is ready and waiting.

 

[OB_Ninjaknight]

Good point, thats a long commute for one race.

Is the 1100 yosh or????

 

[OB_Kamikaze]
