2002 Turbo ZX-12R for sale - Updated to include pics

The time has come to sell the 12 Turbo.

This bike was built and tuned by Muzzy, it isn't a kit.

2002 Kawasaki ZX-12R
Clean title, no lein
14000 miles - Approx 5000 on built motor
Turbonetics T3/T4 Ball bearing turbo with remote wastegate
EFI Race Box ECU (replaces the stock unit)
AMS 1000 Boost controller
Lambda Sensor - Closed loop control
Stock bore with Stroker crankshaft for 1300cc displacement
Muzzy cylinder and stud kit
JE Turbo Pistons
Muzzy exhaust (full system, not a dump pipe)
Muzzy turbo valve spring kit
Muzzy sprocket hub kit
Muzzy steering damper
Muzzy billet basket and clutch kit
Muzzy oil filter relocator
Muzzy electronic shifter (run through EFI)
Muzzy block off plates with crank case breather
Complete RD billet transmission (6 speed)
Shift rod kit
External fuel pump
Hi Point forged aluminum wheels
Pirelli Diablo Rosso tires w/approx 1200 miles
Race Tech Springs and valves front and rear (still have stock springs in a box somewhere)
Stainless brake lines
Greggs customs front turn signals
Clear Alternatives integrated brake light/turn signals
Double bubble wind screen
Corbin Seat and stock seat
Extra set of new in box lower fairings
Mirror block off plates (Stock mirrors included as well)
Stock gearing, wheelbase, and height

This bike was built to function as a streetable turbo, it isn't a normal turbo application with a big hit of horsepower, instead it is exceptionally smooth. I usually only know it is on boost by hearing the turbo or watching the gauges. I have never had it on the drag strip, so I have no idea what it will post for times. I have been unable to make it to any LSR events either. I have had it on a road course once and to Deal's Gap several times with no issues normally related to boost in the corners - except for the obvious rapid acceleration. This bike must really be ridden to fully appreciate it.












PM me to discuss price, or to call for additional information. I will post it here for a while and give the members of the board the first crack at it. If nobody is interrested, off to eBay.

I doubt it qualifies it as a sleeper, but it's awesome that you still have the stock turn signals and mudflap on. Seriously. Beautiful bike!

Thank you!

These pics are a bit old, I put on Greggs Customs front turn signals and a Clear Alternatives integrated tail light. Most people have no idea the bike has a turbo they hear it spool and I run off toward the horizon ;)


Thanks for the bump ZX12DAK

That is EXACTLY what I thought would happen to me when I bought it!

I was wrong (obviously)...the power delivery is deceptively smooth. I only know I am on boost by looking at the gauges, and regularly go from 3000 to 8000+ RPM in a sweeper with no crazy behavior from the rear tire at all. It just goes fast.

Riding this thing made me actually say something to the effect of "this should be illegal"...then the inner hooligan resumed control and I just went faster >:)

I run it on 92/93 Octane and 5lbs boost for 275HP. Running C16 it will handle more boost, but I have never done so.

Nope, it didn't sell yet.

I am still working with a couple guys who are sorting out their financing.

$20,000 is a lot for a bike. I am selling it to build another bike and am figured it will take a while to sell.

It will be on eBay in a few days again.

yup, asking 20k.

It is indeed a lot for a motorcycle, but the cost to build this is even more. I talked to a few folks knowledgeable in this world, and they agreed that is a reasonable price for what it is.

That said, it is a lot of money.

I will listen to offers, but am selling it to build another toy, so it won't be given away. I have all winter to try to sell it before I need another bike ;-)

I'll trade you with a stock '05... might be able to sell it quicker.... Worth a shot...

Beautiful bike by the way.

As Kawasabi points out, it isn't a kit.

To do that, you would need the turbo, exhaust, frame, motor, electronics...pretty much everything but the wheels, plastics, and suspension.

maybe not the turn signals ;)

Parting the bike out isn't a realistic option considering what it takes to put a turbo on a zx12.

TKS for the Info. How much does it generally cost to have a Turbo Kit installed??

i might be intruding into yr sales thread, but well, this might be good info for those who's keen on yr sale, cos it'd let others know the justification of your asking price!

:D

Cheers!
