Here's our Best Of 2002 poll. I've included all the current street bikes that Kawasaki had on it's list for 2002 for the US market. Vote only once and even post your reason for your vote! Tour and cruiser bikes will be in another poll. This poll will expire on Dec. 1, 2002

I voted for the ZX-12. It's all about power!! If it makes you guys feel better, I've been thinking about putting on some ZX-6 stickers on my bike. :D

I voted for the 9R. a good compromise between the ZX12R and ZX6R.

the ZRX was tempting to vote for though.;)

Well I picked the ZX7R justr because i own one and its the only bike that has competed for over 7 years without a change but thats just my opinion.. Others will say its heavy out of date but it is the smoothest kawi in the corners

WITHOUT A DOUBT OR HESITATION, ZX-12R. Simply the streetbike Kawi has made in my experience. Anyone who votes for the 6R just hasn't ridden one. :twofinger

With the improvements made I don't see how people can vote for anything but the 12R and ZZR.

If the question was "what is the best handling Kawie", I would have picked the 7R. I rode a friends 9R and I got to admit it was a lot more of a balance between thrill and comfort. I really love my 7R, but I picked the 9R.

Best Kawasaki? The MIGHTY REX! The ZRX1200R is by far the best Kawasaki of 2002. Fast, comfortable, and a DAMN good looking motorcycle!

I would have voted for the 6r but it has been essentially unchanged since 00 so .... my vote is for the 12r. I think the changes from 01- 02 have made an already potent machine even more desirable.

Still love my 6 though..:redflip

To be honest in the 2002 the best kawa was the ZX12r and the new zzr12.
Wy?
because they got better and they are better in many ways than its competition.
the ZX12r is good handlig and power

the sport tourer zzr is one of a kind. Power more than a XX and can keep up with any open clase bike.

In the 2003 is another story

I think the best will be the ZX636.
I has style, power, and innovation, standard features that makes that kawa in the top of the class.

That's what I'm talking about, motorcyclist was the only one that I'm aware of, but there are just as many publications that have gotten 140+rwhp out of a Blackbird.

And Karl I know you drew that one with a crayon... Admit it. :twofinger

i had to vote for the 9r. they made a lot of minor changes for 02 and it looks like it will be the same bike for 03. i would vote for the 12r but ive never had the thrill of riding one.
