Anyone that meets the basic criteria of having/being :

1) Upright

2) Breathing

3) Red blood cells

4) Not being called Algernon Pitt jr.

Would love it.

It's so simple, I sometimes don't understand why people that don't ride bikes just don't get it.

Looks like a v12 2 stroke, pretty smart mechanic! Or maybe a maniac mechanic!

Well at least I have an excuse......what's yours ?

As I recall we did this one- built by a South African in Californication

That engine is a thing of beauty. ........eat your heart out Claudia Schiffer

And then there was this........

Default CBX v12

Hey:

I know Andreas and George (the cameraman, commentator) both members of our CBX club. The bike generates alot of heat toward the rider in the hot Cali sun but not as bad as he figured it would. It was a long labor of love and a just to prove it could be done kinda thing. It is kinda of funny that when I lived in Thatcham, Berks, UK., I lived next to a great guy from work named Allen Millyard who made a KZ 2600cc v12 (twin z1300 6s) and a 2000 cc v8 (2 z1000) and 6 cylinder 2 strokes they all looked like stock Kawasaki bikes. Also why did you guys name this a CBR v12 its all air/oil cooled more CB than CBR, but all CBX, it is still smaller and weighs less than a Big Dog small block v8 bike and handles well for what it is, so I am told.
