Saw this on Jay Leno's garage.
Think of the electronics to make 300 bhp rideable.....

Whole lotta nuthin' from what I can see. I guess that really does make the product "Ninja". SDNerd is again reminded of Andersen's "Emperor's New Clothes".

I quite like it. Like the frame. (And the carbon ha ha)
But I do wish the Japanese would stop over-designing every little bit of bodywork and component. Altogether it is just visually far too complicated and fractured. If you gave this concept to an MV Augusta team they would improve it immediately just by simplifying things. But I'm just talking aesthetics here.

Looking at some other pics it does seem to have a longer wheelbase than the sportsbike 1000s. A sports/hyper bike cross over for the mega rich. Still good to see something new out there.

Looks like the invoice was a bodge up. Probably put together by someone from yamaha on their lunch break.
No price confirmations yet? All we know is like 10 are coming to the UK?......

And now, here it really is: http://www.kawasaki.com/Products/2015-Ninja-H2R
$50K USD. You know Batman already popped for a couple of them.
It's, well, insane. LOL - "Vehicle Warranty: The H2R is sold “As is” with no warranties, express or implied. The purchaser accepts all responsibilities concerning cost of service, maintenance and repairs." Also read the bit about the tyres and "Vehicle Maintenance".
OK- so when we start seeing these at the track (and we will ...), we all know full well that the owners won't know how to turn the damn things, does anyone believe that all the trickery will really get the well-heeled novices (with the egos to ride in expert" classes) out of corners any quicker on one of these things?

My KTM dealer, who also sells Kawasakis, called and tried to get me to buy the H2R (50K) or the H2 street (25K). He can get one of each. Sadly I had to decline, no hay dinero.

As an owner of the original H2 I have no interest in anyone posting about the new H2 unless they actually own one and can tell me what it's actually like.

am i the only one dissapointed with the h2 (not h2r, i truly love that thing)? I was looking at the specs, not really any more powerful than the zx10. What a waste...
h2r with an extra 100hp is another story altogether...
meh... lost interest in it now... maybe i will just get a 690smcr like i have been pining for, for all these years.
