Nah...no pax. That was ME (all 6ft 250lbs) sitting on the back of wee Rods R1 thru the black spur.. a bit scary for both of us.

Ummmm....ok, if the opportunity arises I'll vote Gore.
Not sure he'll be running in Australia tho.

Yeah I know, its so far from the reality. Almost no one lives out there, we all live near the coast and the mountains. Most of us never see that great expanse.

Nope... more of an R1 and GSXRThou country. Cos we mostly live near twistys theres' a strong sports bike community. Busas are respected but a too lardy for many, I'm considering the GSXR1000 myself.

Why depressed? Not faster than the busa? Not quicker than R1s?Just plain so-so?

Depressed because so many of them are pieces of crap, I don't know about the models ya'll got but I know ten guys that bought them and everyone of them had problems ranging from warped brake rotors to electrical to guages just not working. Besides if it wasn't going to be the fastest then why not make it lighter? I know they started out wanting it to be the fastest then "the meeting" happened. Guess we will see what they do with it now....

I havent even SEEN a ZX12 in Australia yet. I think they've missed out, all us power nuts got the 'busa.
