Description

For sale is my 2001 Kawasaki ZX-12R (full power version) finished in striking metallic blue with gold wheels.
The bike has covered 39,520 miles (will go up as bike is in use) and is very clean and well presented for its age, with no obvious significant cosmetic marks. It has 11 months MOT and has had considerable maintenance carried out recently.
This is not a bike that has simply been cleaned up for sale. A substantial amount of preventative maintenance was completed in September 2026, followed by a new battery in October.

Recent major service
A comprehensive service was completed in September 2026, including:
New engine oil
New oil filter
New fuel filter
Pipercross performance air filter
New spark plugs
Valve clearances checked
Throttle bodies synchronisation completed
Suspension/shocks adjusted
New front brake pads
New rear brake pads
The bike also benefits from:
Nearly new front and rear tyres
Nearly new chain and sprockets
New battery fitted October 2026
OptiMate charging lead installed
So a significant amount of the important maintenance and consumable work has already been taken care of.

Extras and upgrades
The ZX-12R also comes with a useful selection of additions:
MemJet fuelling/performance module
Scottoiler
Heated grips
Front and rear dash cameras
LED headlight bulbs
Rear seat cover/cowl
OptiMate charging connection

Three exhaust systems included
The sale includes three different exhaust options:
Scorpion exhaust
Dominator exhaust
Original Kawasaki OEM exhaust
This gives the new owner the choice of two aftermarket setups while retaining the ability to return the bike to its original exhaust configuration.

History & documentation
The bike comes with:
Service history
Service/log book
Original owner's manual
2 keys
11 months MOT

Overall, this is a very presentable and well-maintained example of the ZX-12R that has had significant expenditure and preventative maintenance completed recently.

The combination of the valve-clearance check, September service, new brake pads, nearly new tyres, nearly new chain and sprockets, October battery and included extras means much of the obvious maintenance has already been dealt with.
The bike is now ready for the next owner to enjoy.
