Wow.Mind blowing!Bucket list updated,out goes the HP4,in comes the H2!

I don't think I have ever seen anything this intense... I think I know what I will buy in a couple of years...

Re: h2 video format

Now thats one hell of a bike, I wonder how many land speed records are going to be broken on this one.

Re: h2 video format

nice pics, killer machine.

what about performance figures, acceleration times, top speed etc.

Re: h2 video format

Since the 300PS bike is only track legal and the street legal bike will be capped at 200hp as per sources, i wonder how many tyre changes would be necessary or how many laps of a circuit would one take before coming in for a tyre change

MotoGP bikes which are said to produce anything in the range of 250-280ps (since they do not give out exact figures) last 21-27 laps, depending on circuit. This is on the fantastic bridgestones. WSBK bikes on the other hand can barely make the Pirellis last without massive tyre degradation.

Which makes me wonder what is the point of the extra power if it cannot be transferred from the rubber to the tarmac. Just fancy numbers for the paper then?

This will be the fastest production bike in the world, something like veyron supersport in car world. The veyron too has to have its tyres changed at 2000 miles interval, bugatti recommends mandatory tyre change interval at 2500miles and a set of tyres cost close to 25 laks (converted value). With machines like these which reach silly crazy speeds, they cant compromise on rubber so i think soft less durable rubber is part of package and cant be avoided. You'll have to feed it with new rubber every 3000kms is my guess, with top class machines comes top class maintenance too and it is not for the average public

On another note, what a monster looking machine this is.. seems like Kawasaki has access to alien technology, the curves on bike and other things makes it look like its straight out of sci-fi movie like Transformers!

You're absolutely right, the Michelin Pilot Sport PAX tires in the Veyron, at full blast (407 kmph) last only for about 12 mins, IIRC. The mileage that you mention (2000 or so, miles) is if it is driven "sanely" (at probably 300 kmph). The point is - it is still able to transfer power from the wheel to the tarmac; but it has to sacrifice longevity in the bargain. The H2 here, brings one to the sublimity of speed as close as possible at probably much lesser price than the Veyron; and the associated costs. Shouldn't be a problem to one, who can actually afford this bike.

Re: h2 video format

Man o man... what a futuristic design theme they have done on this machine. Attention to detail is evident on every single part.

All respect to Kawasaki for this huge step.
