And to replace the header pipes, forks (including polishing & bling) and brakes, only to replace them with better, if slightly less polished versions?
More money than sense, and probably can't ride to boot.
I say leave it looking standard and spend that kinda money making it go faster, turn tighter and stop better. in other words, trade it in on a 10R![]()

Because he can!
It may not be to your liking but it is obviously something that the owner is passionate about. Why bother with an ancient relic like a Model T Ford? No matter what you do to one of them it is NEVERgoing to be anything like a a FPV Typhoon, but fuck its still way cool.
We all add things to our bikes to individualise and mark the bike as our own. Why are Harleys so popular? Because they are easy to customise, oh and they make alot of noise that gets attention! And thats what its all about to some people.
This ZX12 is a work of art and an application of many ideas and technologies that as the catch cry goes " inspires the next " .
Fark some of the best stuff posted up here is " Hey check out my new mini indicators!"
Can you honestly say that if this 12 was parked in your garage you would not be sitting out there with beer in hand admiring it?
Maybe the guy that owns it cant ride for shit, but does that matter because he has taken something great and definitely made it into two wheeled pornography?
