HANDLE´S AS GOOD AS ANY SPORTBIKE DEPENDING ON THE RIDER? MINE HAS OUT PREFORMED A ZX10R,ZX14,HAYABUSA,AND A ZX11.NOW WHEN I SAY THAT WHAT IT MEANS IS...THE ZX10R GOT OUTRUN IN SPEED! THE CORNERS WHERE A CHALLENGE ON ACCOUNT OF THE RIDER!ONLY WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO RIPPING AS FAST AS YOU COULD DID THE ZX12R REALLY SHINE! THE ZX14 VERY FAST! HAYABUSA VERY FAST! THESE BIKES IN A MILE LONG STRETCH AGAIST THE ZX12R ALL DEPENDS ON THE RIDER! IT´S ALL ABOUT BALLS!!!NEED I SAY MORE? WELL THE ZX12R WAS AT 185MPH AND CAME IN FIRST!!!THE ZX11 WAS THE MOST CHALLENGE ON ACCOUNT OF THE RIDER! DON´T GET ME WRONG IN A STRAIGHT OUT RACE THE ZX11 WILL NOT BEAT A ZX12R! BUT WHEN THERE IS A BETTER RIDER ON THE ZX11 YOUR CHALLENGED IN THE CORNERS! SO IF YOU WANT THE BEST BIKE...BUY A ZX12R AND RIDE HARD!!!
