The 2000 ZX-12R was not restricted to 186mph. It was unlimited. The 2001 and later models were limited to 186mph. Cylinder head and other parts from the year 2000 model will not work on 2001 and later ZX-12R’s The stock year 2000 ZX-12r did 1/4 mile at 152mph in 9.47 seconds. 199mph at the end of a mile and still accelerating. I bought mine in June 2000 and a still ride it today in 2023. I have never been beaten by a Hayabusa. Now days younger riders ask me if the bike is new I guess they are too young to know about the ZX-12R

I love this bike. Had to ride it at 4am winter mornings a few years ago as commuter. Flocking hurts. Chiropractic treatment etc. Bought a car after a month. Nowadays, still riding her. A real beast. Such that I may walk with posture post ride; like other sport bikes, I find easier to squat on pegs with tense legs. Ride her like a horse. Strong legs +warm body = no back or wrist hurt + legs that enjoy burn of many days post sunny Sundays. She's easy to maintain and she flys.

Loved my 02' in Blue! Got it for $1000, (with a dropped valve)....easy fix.Sold it for $4000, running strong at 20K miles. If it had a better range, I might have kept her longer, but 100 miles just isn't far enough between fillups. My FZR1000 can double that mileage on the same 5 gallons and makes only 40 less hp.....sorry, but the 12 had to go!

@@MrBioniclefan1 Very high risk of that happening if you twist the throttle...you want to be holding on to the driver. Even when driving normal, ideally passenger and driver should be as close as possible, otherwise the passenger is to far back and upsets the balance of the bike quite a lot.

You seem quite angry 🤷‍♂️ I have seen 140 on the dial of my zx9r, it hadn't hit the limiter at that point (I wasn't risking a longer look). That's as near as damn it to 90mph as not to matter. I would have thought the 12r would be something similar.

The top speed description is bullshit, and only done for political reasons. actuall top speed of these things is wel over 200 mph. Saw a GoPro video of a guy testing a 2001 model, and he managed to reach 213mph (340 km/h) in 6th gear doing 12.000 rpm on one of these bikes. lol
