Had a play on an H2 yesterday. Wow, what a machine. It’s heavy and uncomfortable, but none of that really matters when you have a supercharger! I was skeptical about the H2 but after riding one I now believe the hype.
The one I rode (H2) needs to be mapped, but I’m lead to believe you’re looking at 240+ after that. The full fat version (H2R) is not road legal, and due to noise regs would not get on your average track day, so a little pointless for your average joe.
Theyre bonkers. Had a good look at one in P&H. It looks very well built. Must be nuts on the road. You'd need an Autobahn.
Saw one out and about as I was riding around East Sussex and Surrey on Sunday. Not my cup of tea looks wise but can appreciate it for what it is; a fantastic piece of engineering.
There is a good chance that was the one I rode, especially if it was with an R1 and a SuperDuke. Not really my cup of tea either but my short time in the saddle really made me appreciate what a bike it is. The build quality is almost as impressive as the power.
Will check the bike cam tonight but it was in a convoy of a couple of bikes. Probably was you. I was heading in the opposite direction. It will have been somewhere on this section of my ride
Guess cannot beat iron lungs (turbo or compressor) when it comes to low down torque..hp is just a figure at top end. Seen a H2R at Doni on a noisy day...blimey was twisting the frame and spining the rear even when going from 4th to 5th gear. The 1000cc seemed like 600cc compared the this thing. Go for it
Saw Niall Mackenzie take the H2R round Oulton the other year,,,you could hear it all round the circuit.
Awesome (I nearly purchased one) The standard H2 will get out dragged by a Beamer but as said you can tune them easy enough. However I’m reliably informed that the tuned ones blow up if the internals aren’t done!
They aren't real H2 Kawasakis....... ......but this is one. The original rocket propelled rubber band.
Lovely bikes but 40k for the "R" ?? Just too much ? Surely better off buying a hp4/gsxr/zx10 etc etc, and giving it to Jack Frost at Holeshot Racing and having it turbo charged with all engine internals done and circa 300-400 bhp for half the price. This is of course if you are solely after mind bending performance.
