well i had the zx12 on ebay and i was willing to go as low as 5500 for it
i got 3 bids the highest was for 5200.
its in the for sale section of this forum.
is there just no market for zx12s?
i havent ridden it since November but im not letting it go for a silly price.

I wanted a 12 when i was buying a new bike, but they were at least $1000 dearer than yours and i ruled them out.
Had yours been around you would have been in my price range, but only just.
Its a shame, i really like the 12.
Try the trading post, i wouldnt buy a bike off ebay. Bikesales is pretty useless too. Put your price up a bit as well, some people (me included) see cheap and assume there is something wrong.

its a 2000 model.
63000kms and stock as a rock.
i told a guy 5750 on the phone just then and hes gonna come and have a look at it.
i have an inkling the 2002 model about to go for 4250 has hurt my chances.

Shinny tries to convince me to get a 12 every time I see him .... Get used to it ... Especially if you end up with a nine.
Personally, I think he has 9 envy

don't put too much stock into ebay prices - if the bloke selling that 12 had any brains, he would have put a decent reserve on it in the first place !
4 1/2 is a joke, he must have drug debts to pay !!!

Plus, there's no rego one it, and Ebay prices are really random, especially on bigger ticket items.
I'd be putting it on
www.bikesales.com.au - it's summer, people wanna ride!!!!

My ZZR12 is not selling either.... I've had it advertised since November and only minimal interest. We recently dropped the price because I found my replacement bike... but still no joy... I compared it to others on the market and tried for a realistic price.. but maybe its too high still? Considered trading it briefly - but the local bike shops offer was offensive... is ebay worth a shot?

Make damn sure you have a reserve price though
