supercharged h2

Kawasaki Claims the 2015 Ninja H2 “will undoubtedly change the motorcycle landscape forever”

Turbo busa FTW.

They would not outmode the 14r that soon. Whatever the H2 will be, it won't be a 14. Maybe they will use the technology to develop the next Gen ZX-14 but that will years from now. They have no reason to move forward until the Gen3 busa happens.

For sure Brock gets one. Here's the story. My buddy knows a friend that knows a friend and they were at the photo shoot up at (undisclosed) canyon... OK, it was Stunt road. It's coming out tomorrow so why not say in a few hours, so anyway, he's telling my buddy who's a buddy and it gets back to me about how the high end sport market has died off. So they are going after the Grom crowd because that's where the money is.

Can you imagine that? Mother tea is leaving us high and dry, and is after the Grom market share. Since Brock got over his cherry rash and picking those scabs off, they said this bike is headed off to Brocks along with a few other shops that have dynos. That's all he had to say and I don't know if he's pulling my leg or that bike is a little bore size down to a 729cc. So that speculation was right on.

rook most speculation is its a 1000cc engine but I'm with hub if they are calling it an H2 then I think its be a 750cc engine. but if the claim that sportbikes will never be the same is anything . then a zx10 supercharged into a zx14 frame and let it eat

Naaa 1Bad, I'm done, bought my last bike ever I think. I'm more of a twisties guy anyway these days, there's only so much power you can use back there, it's more about balance and useable power, handling, that kind of thing.

your gonna want 1 ..trust me

1Bad....how badazz is that thing gonna be, you must know something we don't? Remember, you kinda got suckered by all the hype when the 14 first came out in '06, you were disappointed because of the lack of low end power relative to your old ZX-12R.

I had a strong zx12r handle corners better too. so yeah zx14 was a disappointment at 1st. but its a lot better than a busa.

this is from mother kawi

The 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2 project will add yet another name to the roll call of machines that embody Kawasaki’s engineering and performance expertise. And it will undoubtedly change the motorcycle landscape forever..

sounds like it will be a 750 since they don't have one of those presently. What is it about the name "H2" that implies a 750?

Reading a post on the other thread that is going about this bike, I think you ARE going to want one, Kruz. You don't have a naked bike yet. This will be something different.

H2 was an early 70s three cylinder two stroke that handled like a breadtruck, hope they get the handling right this time. It sounds like it will be either a turbocharged 750 or have a mechanical supercharger. I'll believe the hype when I see the finished product.

heard they doing street legal with limited hp and 300 non street legal with 305hp and it a 1000cc motor supercharged

Sounds like they're going to ignore the 186 mph gentleman's agreement and make it as wild as possible, could be interesting.

KEEP LOOKING FOR IT

ninja h2 video 4

I guess KHI is saying in this 4th video that the zx14 is a has been. and the h2 will be the new top of the food chain

Yes, I agree, this bike is clearly meant to raise the performance bar, notice how they are releasing more and more teaser details. This bike looks very lean and mean in the last video, are those race slicks and carbon fiber tidbits?

I don't see any fat on this machine in the vid, they may be going for extreme light weight and big power to give the best power to weight ratio of any production machine.

I'm interested, just need to seem more details. If they went with a tiny, lightweight machine with big power, this might be a BMW killer. I'd love to see it blow the pinstripes off the Bavarian Brawler....lol!

I could be in...

another video comes out on the 11th and the bike debut is the 30th in Germany. I think they are doing it in Germany to do a in your face BMW you don't have shit . yes it looks lean and the tires are just for your viewing pleasure but the silhouette of bike is correct. 186 mph. what agreement

so sleepy, another 1L with carbon bits and a track tire, hope KHI actually knows the HP4 exists for about $30K. So what if it has 8 different traction modes, wtf am am I going to need all those for? Imagine I'm on the track and I'm focused on smooth and speed thru the turn, now I have to think about what traction level to change to?

The last vid looks like any other sport bike with track plastic ....

"emblem?..EMBLEM?We don need no stinking EMBLEM"....

I'm all in with 1Bad on this one, that emblem signifies this machine is going to definitely raise the performance bar beyond anything we've ever seen before. Stay tuned!

Also, if you look closely in the HD setting on youtube you can make out the details of the carbon fiber weave in the panel.

Carbon fiber trim and a freakin emblem for sobbin out loud, this thing is going to be bad to da bone....
