Tyrell the fact that most of these "superbikes" come with Traction Control as standard speaks to that. ABS is almost a necessity too.

I wonder if you can order the "R" exhaust for the street bike.

If I knew what I was doing all the time life wouldn't be any fun.

Will the "R" engine be available as a separate unit and will it fit in a KZ650-C1 frame? :woohoo: Ed

IDK how many people would pay the extra bucks for just 20HP over the 10R. This thing has to be able to be de restricted to 300HP. I guess they can't tell you this on camera. Also would be your responsibility to free up that power.

Price for H2R now up on the Kawasaki site 50,000 bucks. I may just buy one and race around tracks winning 250.00 here and there. Could make out real great. :laugh:

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

I watched the vid last week, when they fired up the H2R I got a total body fro. Quilled up like a porcupine. Hard to imagine where you could roll the throttle all the way open on the street. I certainly don't have the hair on my heiney to do it in the first two gears. So how fast are you going by the time you are at 10K rpm in 3rd? Insane. I'd love to try it, but talk about riding a loaded gun.
