An excellent bike, but frankly you won&apos;t be able to limit yourself to 60 miles on it: before long you&apos;ll start taking a longer and longer route to the office - it simply eats distance.Not that I&apos;m parting with my early (and unrestricted) ZX12R anytime soon..

I ride a Kawasaki Ninja and do wheelies and 360 degree burnouts outside the office

Get back to thine Yamaha Rossi!

Mars - did you change the exhaust on it? Im considering putting a full system - do you reccomend remus or Akrapovic?Thanks!ALL

I saw a guy doing a wheelie on a motor bike the other day and i tell you what, if I wasn&apos;t holding the phone I&apos;d have had his number plate taken down immediately.Disgraceful driving.

... and I saw an elderly couple j walking in Barnes... what is this country coming to?!

Not changed the pipe on it - seems pointless on a bike with near 200 bhp and ram air, expensive upgrade for a few extra bhp when it&apos;s already got more on tap than an 09 Busa.Akrapovic or Remus will give a good sound, fe extra bhp. I think a Remus can looks better though, once they are burnt in and the skin starts to get that nice burned tone. Lovely.

200bhp?? more like 105.... think there might be a case of mistaken identity

Pedro if you think an unrestricted ZX12R Ninja makes 105 bhp you are either trolling or know jack Sh1t about bikes. Or both.

No... I was taking about the r1200gs - hence why i thought your answer was about that one.

Pedro, my apologies for flying off the handle then. I was referring to my ninja. I&apos;ve been riding for years and it can still scare the bejesus out of me if I get heavy handed with it.I actually think the beemer is a cracking machine, but it has become a real cliche since Ewan and Charlie.

I ride a Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R full throttle everywhere I can and its still not fast enough. The manual says it does 0-180mph in 15.60 seconds but since I took the rev limiter off I have found that I can get up to at least 208mph in this same time.I also like to do wheelies, burnouts and 360-degree doughnuts in the office car park. I walk into the office every day dressed like the Stig. Oh hang on, I was dreaming just then. Actually I use the smelly, dirty tube.

1. The rev limiter is run through the CPU; you need a power commander and fuel remapping to overcome the factory rev limiter, so lots of time on the dyno (expensive) and even worse on a 2009 suzook with the awful 3 way power band switching on the fuel map.2. Stig wears a Boxer helmet: popular among streetfighter types, but frankly dreadful at speed.3. Don&apos;t know why I&apos;m boring anyone with this - slow morning.4. I would prefer the tube than riding in leathers in this weather.
