A 51 year old man riding a ZX-12R with nitrous and a zx-14. Will wonders never cease 8)

I see nothing wrong with that. Everything has got a time and place. So long as you pick the right time and place to hit it, who are you hurting?

51, hey that's the prime of your life still. I am 47 so you aren't that far in front of me. Enjoy it cause when we get to 70 we may not be able to ride a 12. A 14 yes but a 12? :lol:
 
Hey go easy on us "seasoned" riders. :)
I'll be 51 in two weeks, have been 202mph at Maxton on my 12 and 187+ there last month on a stock 14.
I'm not 18 for sure but not ready for a geezer cruiser either!
BTW.......I'm currently installing a Turbotec turbo system on a ZRX that I recently bought.
Now if I can just remember where I put my keys.

Hey guys I am 55 with my 03 ZX12R & red ZRX. My next cruiser bike will be either a ZX14 or Busa 1500. When Im 85 I hope to have nitrous implanted in all these bikes. The older I get these hot bikes and babes get better and better lookin. :twisted:
 
You guys that sell your 12s will live to regret that day. The 12R will be like the 72- H2 750, 73-Z1, 69 Honda CB750, The ZX12R will stand in history as a legend. Yea, it flopped at the dealers but history WILL be kind to her. Mine will forever be a trophy.

The "A" model 12 was designed with purpose. The 14 although a great bike without doubt was designed to appeal to a much larger crowd. There's already 14s hanging from the lamp post around my town. JUST LIKE BUSAs!!!!!!!! 12Rs will do nothing but get more and more rare!
 
I agree with you gunner. I don't think I could ever get rid of my 2000 ZX-12R. It just feels so raw with power, especially with the nitrous. It's a mans bike.
I just got home from riding my ZX-14. It sure is a smooth bike. You feel like you sit more into the bike. Tomorrow morning I'm getting onto the 12, getting the bottle filled, and feeling some of that raw power.
 
I somewhat regret selling nearly every bike or gun I ever had. But I just can't keep 'em all. When I knew I was getting a 14 I realized that the 12 just wouldn't get ridden much. I was lucky in that a buddy who I've known for years would love it as much as I did. It's kinda corny, but I'd rather have her go to somebody that would love and use her as much as I did than have it languish in an already overcrowded garage. I've never been a "collector", but a "user". That reminds me, anybody want to buy a lightly used Weatherby .460 Magnum? :lol:
