Description[]
The Ninja ZX-12R is the flagship among the fast, powerful bikes made by Kawasaki. Debuted at the 1999 Paris motorcycle show and released to the public the following year, the ZX-12R inherited its flagship status from the long-reigning ZZ-R1100, which evolved into the 1200 in the 2002 season.
But the 12R is not positioned as the sports touring version of the ZZ-R lineup. As its name indicates, its the top-of-the-line model in Kawasaki's ZX supersport series. Combining bone-crunching power with sporty handling, this 1200cc monster turns out 178 hp while weighing in at only 460 lbs. Consequently, the machine is unforgiving to any rider lacking the skill and confidence to handle it. Still, a comprehensive redesign for 2002 made this Ninja far easier to handle compared to the first models, which were known for their over-the-top extreme nature.
Low to mid range power may be less than awe-inspiring, but torque increases steadily with engine speed and is positively wild from 6,000 r.p.m. up to redline at 11,500 r.p.m. The power isn't peaky but instead continues to usher forth with greater and greater intensity with no seeming limit. At top speed, you'll think you were about to enter warp speed. The 12R's biggest selling point is its aluminium unibody frame. Above the engine, the frame doubles as the air box body, enabling the chassis's slim design. The fuel tank is located between the knee grips and the bottom of the seat.
This bike's ultralight, ultrahigh-performance packaging is sure to enthrall and challenge the toughest of riders.
