Ninja H2?

Only disappointed we have to want until Nov to see the H2 street bike. And no prices.

Hell there are probably less than 50 riders world wide who could use 300 HP on the track. No one needs 300 HP on the street. Than said Papi could show us how to use 300 HP.

If MotoGP bikes don't need wings, why does this bike need them?

Because MotoGP isn't populated by squids who will wheelie over backwards when given too much power. I think these wings might be there to keep the front down at higher speeds to allow faster acceleration without wheelies.

I wonder if one of the electronic riding aids will be "loop protection."

Would be nice; my zx12r needed it....:ride

:thumbup I wouldn't be a nano spec faster on the H2, than I am on my ZX-10.

I already have more power, than I call on.

And the street/public road, provides the limits.
 
Why does the rear wheel have five lug nuts like a car tire? Surprised they didn't do it like Ducati's single sided swingarm. EDIT: P.S., is this race legal without a bellypan. Looks incomplete to me w/o one

As much as I love what this bike is I have never been a fan of half fairing bikes. I hope they just left the side fairings off to give people a better look.

I disagree with that.

300 hp could be made very usable with the right electronics.

Just like on cars, 10 years ago 300hp was pretty intense, but now electronics make that power usable and cars with ~500hp can be easily driven by soccer moms and the like.
 
I'm surprised anyone is even talking about what riders "need" with this bike.

Come on... Nobody needs anything this bike has but they're going to want it.

Well, electronics make the power "usable" by reducing it. So yes, electronics can make it possible for a 300 hp bike to accelerate at full throttle without flipping over backwards in a monster wheelie, but then electronics are limiting you to only (for example) 120 hp instead of 300 hp, because any more than that will pull up the front wheel. So what is the point of having a 300 hp engine if you can never use it? Other than bragging rights?

This is a totally pointless bike for squids who want to compare penis sizes over spec sheets. And I guess it's a good starting point for drag racers and top-speed guys (and I'm not talking about squids racing on public streets). Though even then, putting a supercharger or a turbo on a ZX-14 would probably get better results.

So yeah, the 300 hp is totally useless on the street.
 
This is seriously the ugliest looking bike I've seen in a long time, even worse than the Z1000, and that's a pretty high bar for ugly. There is not a single coherent line for the eye to follow, and no single attractive component (apart maybe from the wheels, those look pretty cool). It looks like 20 different designers worked independently on each little part, an then they cobbled it all together without anyone paying attention to how the whole thing looks. Total mess.

Yup. Kawi keeps mentioning the phrase "high speed" for some strange reason. :laughing

Yeah, so is a 900hp Porsche 918, but who cares? No need to get your panties in a bunch. A turbo ZX14R is rad and all, but it doesn't have a warranty. It also isn't a pseudo-MotoGP bike.


Know what I would do with a 300hp H2 on the street? Blow just about everything out of the water, that's what. :D Pick on old guys in GT-R's n' shit. Freeway roll-ons... 70 to 190 to 70 then point and laff when broseph caught up. That's what I'd do. :party
 
What a lot of under 25 year olds don't understand is we would have had 300hp NON turbo/super charged bikes 5 years ago if they wouldn't have limited Top speed to 186 mph in 2002. A zx12 or Busa in the year 2001 would do damn near 190 mph off the show room floor!!:wow. I personally saw 220 indicated on my 2001 ZX12 while racing a 1999 copper hayabusa ( on a closed race circuit of course--lol ). Even with speedometer error. What's that? 190 mph?? Now picture what we would have had in 2007-8-9-2010 and so on. Yeah. The H2 is nice BUT, it would be (slow) by comparison if the manufacturers were allowed to go for all out top speed against (each other) from the year 2000 to now. I would go back to the honda blackbird ZX11 days but I don't want to date myself to much. .lol. PS: for us mid to older age riders. Remember the mach 1-2 and 3 VHS videos? :thumbup:ride

I wonder what insurance would be like for a 16 year old male on this bike. :laughing

You wouldn't be able to do that any faster on the H2 than you would on, say, a ZX-14. Motorcycle acceleration is limited by wheelies, not by the amount of power a bike has.
 
...not sure from whence all of the "pseudo-MotoGP" references are coming. Kawi hasn't participated in that series in recent times, with 2009 being their last season. :dunno

I think that this will be a pretty cool bike, and am hoping that it might signal the return to top level racing for the green factory. We shall see.
