Any of you guys across the pond have one? I understand they sell quite well over there but I'm reading varying opinions on how well they are liked.

I have been to Europe and know the alps and the riding there not that I have ridden there but I have driven quite a bit of it and although we can't compare to some of yours ours are quite nice as well.

Hi Bob,
The turbo + nitrous ZX12 must be 'interesting' to ride.....

Oh! to have the 'worry' of riding in Florida in the Winter, damn, that must really suck

Well, when you have a home 10 min from USA motorcycle heaven it is hard to leave. On the other hand in my part of Florida we have some of the flattest straight roads you could want for riding at insane speeds (reference 2012 ZX14R) on my bikes owned, so I guess the best of both worlds is what you get when you are old enough to retire with just enough finances to do mostly what you want.

Nope, the GTR is my latest so it isn't going anywhere soon!

Newest for me first: 2011 Kawasaki Concours 14
                              2012 Kawasaki ZX14R 205mph GPS verified Stock other than flashed and Brock's pipe
                              2006 Kawasaki EX500 for the girlfriend
                              2009 Yamaha FZ1
                              2000 Kawasaki ZX12 turbocharged & nitrous injected
                              2005 Honda Goldwing
                              1993 Harley Davidson Dyna Wide Glide with a 105 inch motor making 139hp that in it's day never lost a dyno shoot out
                               for over 5 years! Now retired and sitting under a cover.
I see it is 7 bikes but I don't really count the girlfriend's bike. I really should get rid of some of them.

I just joined up and saw this post. I have an original GoPro and although it takes great video and stills, in my opinion if your taking video whilst riding with your mates ( how do you like my EU vernacular) you will find it's field of view is so wide that you literally must be riding next to the other rider so you can see him otherwise it appears that those in front of you are much farther away than they actually are. I understand that they changed the field of view on newer models but only narrowed it but didn't give it any actual zooming. I don't use mine on the bike at all anymore and just use it in the sports car.

I'm also a member on the other side of the pond but was able to get some valuable information from Lonewolf, thanks Steve so I thought I would join here as well. I just added a 2011 C14 to my stable (up to 6 now) but haven't had a chance to really ride like it should be ridden in the mountains around my Georgia home but will in the spring. For now I will have to do with the flat straight roads in Florida where I spend my winters. So hello and look forward to the interesting humor you folks have.
