The Kawasaki ZX12R Ninja is a dificult
machine to categorise. Although its capabilities put it into
the Supersports pigeon hole, it is an excellent horizon chaser
and falls equally well into the Sports touring bracket.
Power is in abundance throughout the rev range and allows
this machine to deliver a smooth and seemingly effortless
ride in comfort.
Want to do some touring but still have a play on the mountain
twisties? - Then this bike is for you!!
