Talking New 2012 Orange and Black Owner

Hello everyone,

I am getting my 2012 tomorrow and I can't wait. It's 1:30am my time and I just can't sleep knowing I am getting it tomorrow! I'm a long time sport rider and a motorcycle escort for funerals.

I can't wait to flog it. I'm not much for break in stuff, so we will see how it goes. I just scrub in the tires and I have never had a problem, so I hope my new Z does as well.

The dealer loaned me a 2010 trade in for 2 weeks and I fell in love, so I already know what to expect but I an still to excited to sleep

I will post pics as soon as I get it.

I am going to venture out on a limb here and assume that you did not buy an orange Z1K as your funeral escort ride of choice.

Thanks everyone

You would be correct sir! but, I really wish it was, because the 1000 pound 2010 Harley Police bike is not exactly nibble and flickable. The only thing it's got going for it is recognition as a police vehicle and the siren. What ever it takes to NOT get run over.

Default Just got mine

I just picked up my 12' on friday...so worth it...hit the coast after I scrubbed in the tire. Now I just need to make a tail tidy and put on some brawlers and Ill be set.

Does anybody know if someone has posted actual plans for making one out of sheetmetal. Ive seen the reasembled stock ones and the aftermarket ones but no home made sheetmetal ones. Help if you can

Thanks
