If I'm not mistaken, he's running the H2 and not the H2R as well....if he had the H2R he'd def be in the 8s too like you said.
Correcto....apparently its a "Custom" H2...from what I can see its just "Custom" in bodywork. But I also believe its an H2. So imagine an H2R on a good day if the stars line up.... :burnout

one heck of a bike...:sigh:

I'm glad Kawasaki did this. I see many people who can't accept it because it's too heavy, too long, too wide, too ugly, too expensive. But your not hearing about the too powerful or too fast because none of these haters actually have one!

Kawasaki's ahead of the game with this bike, especially for forced induction high power applications. I'm sure they have loads of testing and real data that no other maker can get their hands on right now. Should be interesting to see how they handle model variations and upgrades to the bike going forward....

I don't know...I don't like how the manifold is completely exposed but I'm sure if I was rich and had one I'd grow to love it...although my friend dislikes the styling he did say it's not until you look at one in the flesh til you realise how well made it is....he said everything is finished in beautiful detail...aparently the paint colour (a blackish chrome) actually has a layer of real silver in it (wouldn't want to try and get a match on that from a scrape lol). He also said you could clearly hear the supercharger whining and the wastegate flutter despite having a loud system on his r1. Aparently the ugly standard exhaust is just for sound regulations etc as the akro you see on it came free with the bike in a separate box as std (aparently)

My mechanic had to pay an extra £1500 for the Akrapovic slip on!
