I picked up a 2000 ZX-12R with 8200 miles on it from a dealership in northwest Illinois for $2,500 out the door. It has a noisy 4th gear so something's wrong but it shifts just fine. Since riding this bike and being thoroughly impressed with its high rpm power, I've decided to rebuild it...make it better.

To that end I've bought a JE 1287 piston kit, a Muzzys SS system, PCIII, new tranny, -1 countersprocket, set of stock cams. I'm going to send the cams off to Orient Express to get a custom grind. I'm also about to shell out the bucks for a stock crankshaft that I will, in turn, send to Muzzys in exchange for the 60mm stroker.

When its all said and done I hope to have a 200+ horsepower, 1390cc bike. I also bought a Dyna Shift light set-up and a GIPro gear indicator. Can't wait to get it all finished (some time in '09).
