2000 Kawasaki ZX-12R review from Canada
"My Grandson will own it some day"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The bike has been very reliable; yes it does eat tires!
Other than general maintenance and the fact the battery is hard to get to, I have no complaints.
General comments?
My last Kawasaki was a 1987 ZX1000R, and I put 100,000 Kilometers on it. It was fast but not like this one.
My ZX12 is the unrestricted model, last time on the Dyno I was getting 167 HP to the tire. And this is stock.
330+ km down through Gaspe in New Brunswick.
Just for reference I am 51, and I have been riding and racing since I was 9.
