Advantages: fast, torquey, badge of honour, superb Disadvantages: not for the faint hearted
...I have only had it a week, so this can be an ongoing review (maybe). After much umming and ahhhing I traded in my ZX9R and RVF 400RR (which I miss badly!!) and stumped up another grand to get the 12R.
Its an X reg so its full power (pre 186mph legislation). Its also that lovely Kawasaki Green. It came with braided Goodridge hoses which provide mucho stoppo when needed and a Rhencullen undertray, which has tidied up the arse end nicely. The OE screen has gone and there is a green double bubble to keep the wind over me. A carbon fibre rear hugger keeps the crud away from the rear shock and a nice little Scottoiler keeps that chain lasting "6 times longer". A good deal I thought.
Missing one thing though... Blueflame Evo 3 Titanium Oval exhaust. £260 from the great guys at Taz Motorcycles. Now we're talking. Putting...

Advantages: Looks good, sounds good, cheap to buy. Disadvantages: Makes a 50cc bike illegal at 16 just like any other exhaust.
...I have an Aprilia RX50 racing, 2006. I have an arrowexhaust on it. it was already on there when i baught it, but the standard exhaust restricted it to 25 mph, but the full arrowexhaust kit makes it go to 55 to 60 mph. It looks alot better than the standard exhaust. They are easy to get hold of if you want one. For a full arrowexhaust system usually costs around £185. Arrow make many exhausts for many different bikes. When mine had the standard exhaust on it sound like a broken hair dryer like a standard moped, but now it sounds like a 125 cc motocross bike. I learnt how to ride it in 15 minutes, that was the first time i have ever ridden a geared motorbike. Even my dad loves it and he has a Yamaha R1 which is 20 x more powerful. All those people thinking of getting one, get an arrow. Hope this helps....

Advantages: Powerful, fast, good looks Disadvantages: heavy, long reach and long legs required
...I purchased my 1993 ZX-7R from Lings in Harleston for £2,000 about 4 years ago.
After cutting my teeth on a VFR400R (an absolutely gorgeous bike) I thought it was time to move up to something a bit more powerful. At the time I weighed 13.5 stone, despite me being short at 5'7".
Due to my weight I thought I needed something that was at least 600cc (the 400 started to struggle pulling me!). I had always liked the KawasakiZX's. The 600s were a bit out of my price range but I found this American imported ZX-7 on the Lings website.
I called and booked a test ride for the following Saturday.
When I arrived at the shop the ZX was already parked out the front with a full tank waiting.
The first thing I noticed was the dimensions of the bike - it was huge. Kawasakis (especially the older ones) always seem to be big bikes. When...

The Wahl Powerpik is great for my hair. I have long thick afro hair (enough hair for three people many hairdressers have told me!) The hairdryer’s output is 1250 watt which is powerful enough to dry my hair quickly.
This hairdryer is an absolute... more
