Nice looking ride Smitty, well done!
No more jokes about your bike being nearly as old as you then?

Good choice and enjoy, I really starting to think you were going for a 9R, was it that close between them?

Looks fast just sitting still! and I dont think I've ever seen a green 12R before
I like the rear seat cowl as well, looks ultra-smooth

Green, Black-midnight blue /gold, Red and silver are the years from 2000- 02. 2003 up to 2004/5 had blue/silverspeckle and Black with red-03 and also silver speckle 04-05. 2006 is back by popular demand of the bike not the color in Black-midnight blue and gold again. I think Iam right with the above, anyone who knows better can correct me. Anyway quite a few changes were made (130+)apparently in updates to date.
These are not the Kawasaki exact coloring descriptions just a basic outline of colors delivered..

it was close...
but in the end, a low k's sold by us/serviced by us
with warranty from a bike shop (the ZX12r)
will beat a private sale for the same $ (the 9r)
hth
ciao
