The new fastest production bike?

Post by Dailaughing »

Any thoughts so far? Light on details but looks like something from a superhero's garage.

nearly 300bhp on the race version...

I want one but with a rumoures price tag of £50,000 for a h2 (200bhp) one and more for the h2r!!
But still I would just sit there and gase at it!!

Looks evil, power to match and should will be nasty on rear tyres though!!!

Looks like Mad Max/Ghostriders version of a ZX10 .......

I like the principle, though perhaps not some aspects of the execution. As for the race version ...... The only class I'm aware of that might allow it is the French "Formule Extrem"?

Id hate to do a thousand miles on that thing ! Come on ,we all live in the real world,really what does it matter if it'll do 200 or 130 mph,you still cant do it in this country without loosing your licence,and quite rightly too ,anyone that does that sort of speed on the public roads deserves to get his hands cut off.

Totally agree with you bg but that doesn't stop me wanting what I see! I love things which are built for a specific purpose and which excel at that purpose. It's too early to know if this is one of those but it definitely looks the part.

Bikergraham let me start by agreeing with you, but more importantly Kawasaki agree with you. If you read the write up this is a track bike only with no headlight and nowhere for a number plate. They are also suggesting that the road bike is going to be about 220 bhp.

All that said I am sure 300bhp is very exciting but just wonder if you could ever use it. I have seen more then 1 BMW 1000 rr riders being spat off on a high side even with traction control. Add in an extra 100bhp on top this just sounds a crash waiting to happen.

I will crack on with my 100bhp 600cc normally aspirated ball of fun :-)
