I bought this bike just a few months ago and I absolutely love it. That being said the girlfriend doesnt like the bike at all. I really dont want to get rid of it but you know how it is with a significant other.
The tires are in good shape, almost new. They are Pilot Road 3 (not my favorite) but not a horrible tire. The rear just got a nail in it so I am going to swap it out for a Power 3 as well as have the front changed to a Power 3. If someone wants the bike as is and doesnt like those tires I will drop the price slightly. The oil was changed 1,000 miles ago.
Here is some information on the bike.
Year: 2005
Make: Kawasaki
Model: ZX12R
Color: Black with silver lettering
Miles: 15k but I will continue riding it
It has some add on's but nothing major.
-Power Programmer 3
-Flush mount front blinkers
-Hot bodies under tail/fender elminator
-Tinted PUIG windscreen
-Shorty Levers
-Frame sliders (2 per side)
-Yosh RS3 bolt on pipe
The bike fires up great and runs perfect with lots of power but is suprising smooth and easy to ride. The Power Programmer really helps with the low end surge these bikes are known for. It has a nice mellow tone at idle but gets considerably louder when you give it some throttle.
It hasnt been laid over but the mirrors both had small scrapes on them from being moved in the garage. Prior owner was short, as in about 5'6" and he couldnt touch both feet on the ground and he had it packed in so close to other things that I know he just scraped it getting it in to place. I elected to just put a little paint on them and you can barely tell they are there unless you look for them. There are some scratches here and there but they are from the prior owner trying to polish the paint. No digs in the paint and the graphics are like new. I believe the scratches will come out with some rubbing compound as they are not through the clear. No breaks in the fairings, there was a small piece of the ram air system where it meets the fairing but I fixed it and you barely notice it. It was less than an inch piece and I will include a picture later. The tank has no dents or dings either.
For a big bore bike in this condition I dont think my price is out of line. It is a lot of bike for the money. Compared to riding a Busa or even the ZX14 I will say this bike is more like a traditional sport bike, just with slightly larger dimensions whereas the Busa and ZX14 are more of a sport tourer to me. I will also help out on the tax. Currently it sits in the garage with my 2012 Victory Hammer and my 2013 Corvette. I have the title in hand (clean) as well.
I am asking $5,500 as it sits. If I have to put a tire or tires on it the price will most likely be higher.
This is the only picture I have of it currently. I will post up more. The bike is located Lakeland, Florida, 33805 ZIP. Feel free to PM me or post in the thread. I will check it daily.
Thanks for looking.
