Poor old Busa\'s

If you're up to coming to Iowa with your ZX-12 after you tune it in with you 2-3 passes and four clutches, we've got a couple of Suzuki Water Pumpers or Hayabusas that will tangle. The first whooping is free after that you better have the bill fold open. Any green weeinies apply at the head of the line.
 
Congratulations SPAZMAN, but I dont think I'll be getting up to Iowa anytime soon. Thanks and watch out for the tractors.
 
Johnny, I took my buddy's Z1-R for a 120 mph blast when I was in high school and I learned two things. First, that old Z-1 motor was a strong pig of a motor, especially on top. The other thing I learned was the meaning of the term "tank-slapper". We're talking "need to change your shorts" scary.

I saw two ZX-12's at the Long Beach show in November (red and green), and they didn't look bad to me in terms of finish quality. I looked closely, and they looked okay to me. The one thing I didn't like was the Mickey-Mouse-ears mirrors. They looked like they belong on a pickup truck. Overall, its looks were about a seven on the ten-scale to me...okay, nothing special.

At least if this guy falls off his magazine he won't get hurt too bad. :)
 
NinjaPat (as in that's pat from SNL)

OK. You're a man - if you say so. You see, you say you're a man and... you also say in your profile that you like "going silly fast" and "collecting bambi posters". Between your girlfriend's post and the info in your profile, well you just had this half-wit a little confused. I just don't know any guys who call going extremely fast, "silly" fast, nor do I know any that collect bambi posters.

Then you call me a skirt wearing Nancy? Hmmm.

What year is your interceptor? I rode my friends hurricane 1000 (I think it was an '86 )back in '87 and it was a very fast, nice handling bike. Do you know anyone in your area that has a busa? If you do and you have a chance to ride it, let us know how you think it compares to your 11c.
 
I smell fish,,sniff))..sniff))yup,,Fresh too

ok..Back to class everyone Play time is over.

What Bike gets more looks from the Hotty's Out there,,thats all I care about.

The Busa is one Sexy Machine

Kawi Bikes are a Dime a Dozen !!

N.K. whatever your gender or occupation happens to be is irrelovent at this juncture. My view is that you bring a refreshing element, with your opposing viewpoint. What interests me most, however, is where your true loyalty lies. Do you plan on purchasing a new bike in 2000? Are you loyal to a certain brand? Are you a knee dragger or a dragger?
Bob, I'm riding every day buddy. Its just something I have to see through to a conclusion, whatever that may be. I'll be seeing you in daytona, on a red 12R.
 
And to prove the types of Broads I get with the Busa, Just look at the chicks under my pic on LA-busa's,,thx to Big-ed,Duc,and the crew over there :)

Relax people,It's only a Bike
 
My study? “Babe�…….. do you want to kiss me shame? I was trying to remember who you are then I did a search and I remembered that you are the idiot who babbles incessantly about the whole year you spent in France and likes to post in French on Rangers site. You are right we should talk about bike shame. Do you remember this little nugget of wisdom you shared with us about bikes shame? You can find it when you do a search of pooper.

“Sherm, thank you for stepping outside the paradigm. In France they used pooper scoopers for their sidewalks. The city would employ people on enduros to ride on the sidewalks with this cool contraption on the back that would go down and pick up the dog droppings.â€

I am glad that you took the time to share that with us. Frenchmen on enduros with pooper-scoopers that you define as a “cool contraptionâ€â€¦â€¦.. I never thought of a pooper-scooper as a being a “cool contraptionâ€. It doesn’t surprise me that you consider a **** collector to be cool though……you think France is cool too.

DP is your master? You really are a retard aren’t you shame?

Before you start sniveling about me not being nice read your post above. You are the one who called me out shame….. I will toast you like a French-Fry you little Nancy.

BTW speaking of the French I have a joke. (I am part French so before the PC police call the Clinton administration get a grip).

Why do the streets of Paris have trees?……….. So the Germans can march in the shade.

Hahahahahahah do you like that one shame you little nancy?
 
I guess its time to jump into the Cesspool.
Facts please.
NK, Beatoff, and other dreamers do NOT own a ZX12 ninja--BTW--how embarassing to ride around with a little boys ninja decal on your bike. Far worse than having a Hayabusa decal in my opinion. It makes these boy racer types even want to make-up screen names after it.
Street riding/dragging, which is all that matters to me anyway, will depend on rider skill, experience on that bike, and weight like it has for years. Yes, weight too. Someone 65 lbs heavier than me, like Omega for example, needs 16 HP more just to stay even-everything else equal. Someone 20 lbs lighter can have 5 less HP.
When I see a 12r on the road we will see.
If any of you Cow "to-be" owners receive your ninja decal laden bikes, and want to find out first hand how YOU and your ninja compare, Joliet dragway is only a quick ride away. I rode yesterday did you?
 
Mr Bear, I took your advice and yes, I did the deed. If Scott in ID comes through with his deal, I will own two. I have a dealer in CA trying to do a locate on a busa in a warehouse and if he finds one, he says that he’ll sell it to me for 9,535 USD (no freight, not set-up). He says that he can’t find any - they’re selling as fast as they arrive at the dealers. There is a new copper one here for $9,500 + $399 setup. I saw both the red and the blue one and opted for the red. I still wish I could have had a red/black color scheme. You guys buying the 12 may have an ugly bike, but nice colors.

FC, having spent some time in the Big House, you and your kind are a little intimidating to me - and even more so now that I’m being propelled by a busa rocket. Just typing your handle sends chills up my spine and induces flash backs ‘Up against the car’ ‘Spread your legs’ ‘OK, wise guy, you’re goin’ downtown!’ However, you are the consummate fisherman, so, yes, I’m guilty as charged, I was chummin’ and I hooked me a fine NinjaBabe - but I was really hoping for a truce. OhYeah, I agree, the busa has been a huge babe magnet.

NinjaKnight (All members note that she is a she): Ahh! Sure is good to hear from you, again.

When I mentioned your study, I was referencing your statement “This is like watching insects trapped in a small jar.†I don’t know why you’re here i.e. studying, playing, antagonizing, etc., I’m just glad that you crawled under the glass with us. You still haven’t told me what it is that you do for a living - I was just guessing.

All kidding aside, I called you NinjaBabe to draw attention to the fact that you were female as some of the members were talking to you as if you were a man. No offense intended. Would you prefer NinjaGal, NinjaLady (staying with the Medieval theme, you know, knights, lords and ladies)? I mean, I didn’t want to call you NinjaNag, NinjaNinny, NinjaKnuckleHead, NaughtyNinja, NastyNinja, NinjaKnees, NinjaNilly, NinjaNitWit, NinjaNut, NinjaGnat (I know how bugs fascinate you), NeedyNinja, NinjaNill, Ninja-NOT, NinjaNewt the Fruit, Fancy NinjaNancy (I still don’t understand why Nancy is a term a derision, but OK), NinjaNoodleBrain, NinjaKnotHead, etc. - as I was looking for a truce. On the kissing thing... isn’t that a little hard to do in cyber space. I mean, what do YOU kiss when you kiss someone on the web? Is it your screen? Sounds messy, but interesting - at a very strange level. OhYeah, I’m married, so I think that you have misunderstood my intentions. Thanks... but NO thanks. When you find yourself lonely, stick to your screen.

So your half French? I’m surprised the French half of you didn’t accept my white flag. Have you ever been to Paris to see first hand what I described? Cool, huh.

You have misunderstood, Master DP is not MY master, but rather, he, like you, has reached the Master’s level of skill in the fine art of expressing himself. If I remember correctly, he writes for a living. So what is it that you do?

And, OhYeah, what Bob said.

Is there still a chance of a truce? I'm game if you are.

PS: I had a whole string of nice alliterations for Ninja with a mature reference to your gender and your preferences that my spouse encouraged me to delete. Pity. OhYeah, on the Shame name -brings back good memories of grade school -here’s some more: shane the pain, shane the brain, shane’s insane, shame’s to blame - but hey, you should have to think of your own.

Poor Shame….I am a man dummy that is why they refer to me as a man you are the only person who is confused. What will your wife say when she finds out you are calling a man a babe? I call you Nancy because you sound like you wear a skirt. My girlfriend used my screen name once and that was the reference to a woman you half-wit. You can call me Ninja whatever you like I really don’t care I just like to laugh at you because you are an idiot. BTW I did not say I was half-French I merely stated that I have French ancestry dummy. We don’t need a truce shame just stop encouraging me to make you look stupid.

Bob:

Cesspool? Do you think everyone who posts here is a Pulitzer Prize Winner? Get a grip. I just went out for a ride too. I own three bikes a KLR 650, ZX-11 c model and an Interceptor. I really don’t care if the 12 beats the busa if you read my post I was just pointing out that Kawasaki knows about aerodynamics. I am glad that you told me that rider wieght affects performance I had no idea.

BTW I took all the Purple Ninja graphics off my C model 11 so it is just all black. I agree the decals are embarassing.
 
Hey Busa Buster, so what do you ride? You're in Florida, right? Why don’t you hook up with coco with your bike, go for a ride, and then let us know your first hand impressions of the busa... and when you ride the 12 you’ll be able to fill us in on a good comparison.

By the by - I could have just as easily have purchased the 12 (the dealership where I bought my bike is Kawi dealer, but (and I know it has been stated, and restated at nauseam) here’s how I sees it: the 12 is only maybe 5 hp (ninja183 hp vs busa 178 hp at the crank) which is less relevant than rider weight and/or ability; only about 10 lbs lighter which, too, is less relevant than rider weight/ability; has higher compression (shorter life span, more stress on the eternal parts); possible first year production issues; price for the ninja 11,999 USD - I paid 10,000 USD for my busa, plus a free second look seat, plus 20% off all parts and accessories for a year (thanks DP for the suggestion); etc. bla, bla, bla.

Now let me think, I have an additional $2,000 to make for 5 hp and lose 10 lbs off the bike to prevent the 12 from bustin’ my buns (as if I cared) - it could pay for a pipe, new wheels, or $2,000 towards a turbo, maybe a 600 to use in the local canyons, or maybe sign up with Monica’s Weight Watcher program and peel of the fat. Hey, I only weigh about 160 lbs, but I used to weigh sub 135 when I rode my GS1150ES so I could lose the weight.

Yo, NinjaBabe, it’s a new year... so let’s call a truce. What do you say? How the heck have you been? Found any nice Bambi posters lately? My girl is into Barbie and wants me to buy her a PINK motorcycle - yikes! I sure have missed your quick-witted typing style - it approaches Master Dirty Pete’s (only you’re like his darkside). What do you do for a living? What compels you to visit this sight? So what do you ride? What kind of Honda? I like to see women on bikes. OK, you caught me, I just like to see women.

It was nice of the resident entomologist to come under the glass and participate in the social interactions of her subjects. Is being inside the jar, with us, helping you with your study, or is it going to taint your data? Is this for your doctorial, or are you working on your master’s thesis? Remember, be nice and talk about bikes when posting, or BigDog might Chase us off the sight.
