I wouldn't count on it personally. If they can get that sort of power and speed from 1000cc what's the point? With a 1400 sc machine you could be potentially looking at power approaching 400bhp and what good is that on anything other than wide drag racing slicks? The market will be in smaller, maybe 5-600cc machines with litre power and a sight less weight IMO.

The front kinda Darth Vader lookin', and the side with the frame showing is kinda Terminator.

I think the acceptance of this bike worldwide is gonna make Kawasaki build another version,something that WILL carry two up...

As with all these big sportbikes,Kawasaki's especially,the power delivery is very controllable.I think gone are the days of throttle response issues.The guys(or gals)who ride these are experienced riders mostly.So having a 14 sized SC bike would be a HUGE seller.I see this ahead.This H2 is the 'prototype' IMO.

I'm still breakin her in...I have NO idea what's ahead with this particular bike.Once the break-in is done,I'll be more free to push a bit more.I'm definitely not at this time giving her all she's got...far from it.

Was watching more of your vids ... your license may be in jeopardy!!

I assume your revised youtube name will be h2icbm?

LOL...I know...this was only for breaking in purposes.I don't plan on riding like this once she's fully worked(well,sometimes).No name revision planned.;)

Appreciate your reviews, looks like it is living up to the hype.

I briefly debated getting one before I picked up my '12 ZX10R in December. Main reason was $ (or lack of it in my case) and it is more bike than I need. I am very happy with my 14R, and am also loving the new (to me) 10R.

Enjoy it, and keep the vids coming

I hate his reviews,everyone I read gets me more depressed.the bike is 31500 out the door here.Then there would be the BST's,exhaust system.green would you think the muffler weighs?im so so jealous

Stop it Darryle.
You've got a beautiful baby girl there.....
No way that H2 has the torque you have down low....
Be happy with what ya got... and keep on fuckin.

<------ wants boost bad

<----------------- Wants bike back in his garage bad, LOL

Oh man I'm so jelly ! Congrats on the H2 enjoy it ! Sounds like a dream bike, but I adore my ZX14. Maybe one day I get the H2.

I'm not doubting there will be a SC touring version of the bike in the pipeline, I just doubt it will be 1400cc.

Bikes are like beer one is never enough

....see if you can detect WHEN I drop her into first;)

My GOD man ... you keep riding around on dirt! Haha! I don't think I could stand to do that!

Anyway ... you must be having a blast.

Grn, embedded vids don't seem to work well at all but I got Youtube to function by installing click-to-plugins. Can you provide some urls or links so I can watch on youtube?

His youtube links work perfectly for me. I'm using a PC with Windows 7 and Firefox browser.

Yeah, it's just a situation some MAc users are having. I've had no Youtube at all for over a month. Now I can use the Youtube site but embedded vids still don't work.

14icbm on youtube Rook.

Thanks, Grn. I still can't view it. This computer never was good with high def. The videos play a few seconds and stop. I was just telling someone how I thought I would have needed to upgrade to a new computer by now. I guess it's looking more like that may be the case.

Congrats on the new bike, looks great. Looks like you live in gods country as well. Ride safe and look twice for critters.

Nah! Too many straight roads. Yorkshire is God's own country

Hey, all you H2 guys, any chance of some footage of the bike through the twisties?

greenie,

It is interesting that you find the ergonomics perfect, others complain about the bars, the seat, what have you...

What is your height if you don't mind? I'm 5'7" and the 14's ergos are near perfect for my (average) build
