200mph ZX12R

[Adam_P]

Not sure if Mr C can shed any light on this bike. It was at the Autosport Show today (and is there all weekend as far as I am aware).

The writing underneath it states that it is the first ever stock engined ZX12R to crack 200mph, and was timed at Elvington.

There were quite a few bikes there actually, took a couple of pictures. There will be pictures of 'other things' going up in the off topic sections too!

i love those foot pegs, not a bad paint job either

[tatters]

does,nt stock mean nothing has been changed, which would make it the fastest bike in the world as l think a busa does 187mph?

[Mr C]

I was with him at Elvington when he cracked the 200


the same day as I did 201 on GPS but only got a ticket for 199


he is enjoying "milking it" a bit

Beautiful bike!

Yeah but eyeabrusers are fugly and ZX12's have cush drives made out of sticky toffee pudding.

Get a Bird. Just as fast, accelerates harder, looks gorgeous and built to last. Nuff said

[ts50x0]

the first busa's did 200.2mph standard untill they restricted them 2 years later right???
ive still got the bike mag with the article in!!!

[Bladeeater]

[ts50x0]

didnt the top manufacturers all agree that they wouldnt make their bikes go faster than 186 mph?? thats why in the mags now all the top speeds read 186mph from most of the proper fast bikes. That was what the big thing about the busa was when it came out wasnt it??

[Zoffo]

That's right but there was a couple of years when bikes got bonkers and later they brought in the restriction. 2002 bikes are some of the fastest ever built and probably always will be.

[ts50x0]

oh rite so what bike were so stupidly fast and where responsable for this? was the busa one of them and if so how fast did it go before it was restricted to 186mph?

[Fortuna]

That 186 restriction is stupidly easy to remove anyway.
I've found that most big bikes go faster than what is quoted as book speed.

[old-git]

beautiful ,i'm not really into crotch rockets but that is a very nice bike .
I think at a push i could put up with one

By the way, 12's look nicer without stickers

[ts50x0]

maybe theyll remove the 186 restriction when someone brings out a v5????

maybe theyll remove the 186 restriction when someone brings out a V5 engine????

[Zoffo]

Lots of rumours going round about the new Blackbird V5. Will they Won't they. Apparently the motor is already built and makes 205 BHP but was detuned to 190BHP and will be released in South Africa Only for 2006. As I say rumours.
