Default Kawasaki zrx1200?

Just wondering if anyone owns one or has ridden one and what your thoughts are.
I saw a blue 2003 and I had to leave the dealership as quickly as humanely possible if you know what I mean

A friend of mine had one ( acutally a zrx1100) up until last year I rode it a few times I was pretty nice. I had to get us to sitting upright agian but they are nice and can be made to go fast for pretty cheap. they have lots of toqure and do wheelies real easy. overall a great bike for the price if your not really into the sportbikes this.

I know a guy w/ a red 02... He was dragging w/ a busa for ***** and giggles... 1:1. I rode it for a bit and I have to say it felt like a pig. Course so did the last busa I rode way back when so I don't suppose that means much. My 6r felt a bit heavier to lean coming off my 500 so that may be it as well

EDIT: Just to be clear, it felt like a pig tipping into long leaners... not off the line or top gear on the freeway

thanks guys, how about the Yamaha yz1 (the semi-naked bike w/ R1 motor)?
I like both of these bikes quite a bit and may be upgrading from my 600 soon.
