Kawasaki, very disappointed with the launch of the H2R.............. let me elaborate! Not at all disappointed with your new machine, looks awesome, power delivery out of this world, bucket loads of in brilliant innovations......BUT 1) It is a racing bike...............I don't race! 2) It cannot be registered for the road????..................No value to me. 3) It's price is well beyond most peoples reach..............selective and limited market? I could go on but think most people get the picture. What most punters want to see is the road going version and all that it can do, are most of the innovations that you've included on the race bike going to find a home on the road version? What we want to see is the H2 in all it's glory, not a bike that most will never own. OK, rant over......... Just show me the H2 and tell me how many $$$$$ I have to part with, that is the bottom line....for now
The styling is growing on me, but I my mind is being twisted because of the blower. Can't wait to read a test or see a vid. The Bugatti Veyron of motorcycles. Interesting that the 1500cc supercharged jet ski (also 300 hp) is 16000 USD. Of course it doesn't have Brembo's and the like. http://www.topspeed.com/boats/kawasaki/2014-kawasaki-jet-ski-ultra-310x-ar163964.html So to sum up, Kawasaki quit MotoGP, went to WSBK and won the title and then produced a motorcycle that you and I can buy that will smoke a multi-million dollar MotoGP bike. Hey Dorna, smoke that.
It is basically the Zonda R of the bike world, can't be raced as it doesn't meet regulations likewise for registation, But to the ultra rich that love a track day it will be an absolute weapon! Just Like the Zonda R that doesn't mean it's not ultra farking Cool!!
Ok I will be honest I didnt watch the first videos.... only the last one.. and what i though was mirrors and crash knobs were wings for down force.... i do how ever have a questions... what filtering system is before the supper charger.. last thing you want is foreign objects hitting that impeller... also one other thing.. A bike with that HP at the price..... GO HOME KAWASAKI YOUR DRUNK..
how long before every street bike is pushing 200+hp and has to be ridden in a street mode with 150 hp so you dont kill yourself.
If people pay 35k for a spewcati, people will pay 55k for a monster of a bike. With that said, it would be nice for the price to come down a bit. It's a bit of a niche market I suppose but I still want a go
