some nice low angled evidence from the rear forward and some "cranked over" evidence would be good

After spending an hour or so photographing on of these monsters yesterday - I have to say it looks better in the flesh.

The tail isn't that fat - and Lexy said, it made her arse look even smaller

The seat hight was surprisingly low, although I found the actual seat rather wide. As for those lights - just awesome

*edit* pics added

I agree, it does look better in the flesh and black suits it best IMO. I think I'm starting to get used to the look of these bikes. The seating position is a little lower than the 12 but the padding in the seat feels just as bad as the 12s.

it looks like it was made in the swan hunter shipyards, and designed by a 5 year old in crayon after watching to much lilo and stitch (check out jumba's eyes)

it is one of the ugliest bikes i have seen in a long time, this is one of the few bikes around where i can safely say, i would rather have a car.

Yeah after seeing this macine yesterday I will say that it does look better in real life than one a picture. Just not the kind of bike I would ever be able to ride.

Oh and PhotoMike, Zombie does look good on it and how did you like the 10

Hey cmon IF you are riding the sucker properly you will be paying $1K a year for tyres (at least) and getting 150km out of a tank at about $25/tank.
Then there is the speeding and undue noise fines.....

The 12 was NEVER gonna be the cheap commuter option, I have my Ducati for that

I just bought a 2006 ZX12R and I love it.

It was $15300 on the road.

I believe that the 12 will retain its value given that the ZX14 is such an ugly piece of crap.

It reminds me of some over-styled Korean copy of something remotely cool. I think that when you start it it make a a sound like H-Y-UN_DAI!!

Enjoy.........Team Ninja
