I think we should call the 12 "jealous"
Apparently everyone IS so you may as well call it that :lol:
Spose I would be dirty if I got stuck with inferior merchandise too.
I would think on the right track the 12 would shine, and EC would be one of them, also PI.

Err wrong mate!!!! :lol: E.C. is a 600 track, not a big bore track. And, surprisingly enough, Phillip Island is not a HP track either. It's a corner speed track! So no, the 12 wouldn't shine at these tracks! Now calder drag strip, or willowbank sure, but throw a corner or two in, and it will struggle. It's a feckin 240kg barge remember!!!!!!! :lol:

There are really only two questions in life. 1.Which way do i go? 2.What is the lap record?

03-04 ZX6R = "The Zixxer" because if you say "zedexsixare" it sounds a bit like Zixxer....

How much will you lay out for a EC lap under 1:45 on the 12 Marty ?? :twisted: now that isn't *really* fast, but if I can ping a 1:45 or lower on first track day, you better get ready to bare your arse in Bourke Street !!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

That was actually my point Strika, I didnt like the 600 at PI at all.
Wanted my 12 bad, that flowing sort of track would suit it I reckon.
I am not talking racing here, just a fast road/track ride. Sure you couldnt just slam open the taps but thats half the fun. I reckon EC would suit it too, but it will NEVER weigh under 200kg, I am not COMPLETELY stupid.
I would be way quicker on either track on the 12, not because its better, just that I didnt really LIKE the 600 all that much and my 12 suited my pissant riding "style".
I like my women with a bit of meat on em too, comes when you enjoy the ride more than what other ppl think it looks like :wink:
Luckily what suits one does not suit all.
Just because you CAN ride, doesn't mean you SHOULD
