It's too late for us. We've been infected by the H2 bug

I can see us spending our grocery and house payment money on a payment for one of these monsters!

Just tell the reps at the show you want upright bars you are too old on the bones and the asspucker sure could use another pucker even tighter.

H2 Leak... Get it?

"Kaw can't put together a package like that for the 14 real soon and sell for normal price. it's going to mighty interesting to see what this all leads up to"...you know...I've said it before...these guys at Kawasaki aren't just 'figuring out" how to design and build these bikes...this H2's been the culmination of YEARS of designing and engineering.It didn't just 'happen'.The 14 has been in years of development...well before the first one came out.IMO....from watching these superbikes from Kawi come out...over the years...they already HAVE the major designs and components worked out.I believe this.The H2 was SPECIFICALLY built to be a test mule...even though it'll kill anything out there....but still...a test.They know it isn't gonna sell like crazy...too exotic and expensive.BUT...the R&D coming from this platform is definitely gonna show on future BIG sellers...like the 14R.This H2 isn't gonna generate the following that the 14 line has enjoyed.The 14's the 'keeper'...they're gonna tweak this 14 with some awesome upgrades...and do it cheaper once they see exactly what's working and what isn't for a bike like the 14.(vs the H2)...I do forsee a supercharged 14...with the current or greater cc size...they already have the smoothest performing 'big' bike now...

And I do believe the price will be VERY competitive.Not over the top...but accessible to guys like me.They're most definitely on a mission.Just look at their lineup of bigger bore sportbikes right now...the styling...the electrics.The rideability and power.Oh yeah...there's a bigger 14 comin....

Heck...for the 14....redesigning the frame some...and allowing for a somewhat larger inline 4...they know all this...already HAVE one probably on the drawing board...they don't NEED to recreate a whole new bike....they have the best ride quality monster already.I predict some electric suspension features...a supercharged 1500 or so....same frame with some minor stiffness points....but basically...the same smooth riding setup as now.I don't think ANY bike out there at this time can match the ride quality of the present(or even past)zx14 bikes.It's legendary.How it feels...shifts...plushness...virtually zero vibration....they won't change any of that...in fact,they may even make it SMOOTHER...which wouldn't be beyond Kawasaki at all.

I haven't ridden an H2 of course...but knowing the Kawasaki Heavy Industries abilities...and packaging a bike with those aircraft performance qualities...I can see a 14 ahead...with lots of H2 attributes going into it.

My dealer already asked me what I thought about the H2....it was more like..."You want me to get one up here?"...that's the impression I was getting.I told him...'well hell yeah....I want to ride one'.He said..."I'll keep ya in the loop"....I mean....that sounds pretty positive to me.;)He knows me by now...if I ask for one 'to ride'...he knows there's a pretty good shot at moving one;)Not that I would...as I told him...BUT....it would depend on certain things with the bike.He seemed to 'get it'....we'll see;)

For now...I'm lovin my 14R...and I can wait for a new 14....

I hear ya Grn...............For all we know, this may be the predecessor of a more friendly priced supercharged 15R in a year or two!

Yeah, that's all we need. Another 100 HP.

They'll ban these things soon.

Vrum Vrum....okay....definitely unique;)
