I can live with everything but the exhaust on the H2. Holy crap that is horrible. Stock 14R exhaust looks titties compared to that.

Saying I can live with it, doesn't mean I like it. The 14R looks way better, but I can appreciate all the technology.

The looks do nothing for me.
Everytime I see one, I think how can I just purchase the engine and install it into one of my existing bikes.
Don't hold back Wolf, tell us what you really think....

205.7 mph and 249 rearwheel HP, Hub, impressive performance but I've seen better from boosted Hayabusas and 14s that probably cost a lot less than $60K. Still impressive for a store bought bike but I was expecting closer to 220-225 mph top speed out of the box for that kind of loot!

I thought the street bike was making about 245 hp with a flash and a pipe (yours and smefuns mods)?
WTF, the H2R is no better than the modded H2? f°ck I'd be pissed if I spent the 35,000 for some carbon fiber and I don't even get directional lights. Ida just bough the ZX-10 and the 14r to go with the H2 and modded all of them.
Well, remember, they did say the motor was capable of a much higher boost.
It sure seems like it might do close to 220 with a full fairing. I'm not buying that they put a lot of work into aeros with this bike. Then again, the Ghost rider busa without top fairing wasn't all that aerodynamic either.

"I thought the street bike was making about 245 hp with a flash and a pipe (yours and smefuns mods)?"...I haven't dynoed mine as yet...but now she has the Guhl flash.I can tell you...she goes to 14K....no limiters.(except the new Rev limit).The difference in stock and this configuration is very different.She was skipping in 5th tonight.Not even wide open.I didn't want to go too koo koo just yet.Need to get out on my few straights where I can peg her all the way.She's VERY hyped right now.The midrange right now is extremely strong,and quick.

It would be nice if Kaw had something extra up their sleave for the H2R to be even more kickass but I'm more on your's and somefun's side. You guys might have actually gotten in on the bargain of a lifetime. Got an H2R for less than half the price!

Yea, if you can get the same rear wheel HP out of the H2 with just a flash, what is the point of spending another $35,000 on the R model and lose the ability to ride it on the street? Makes about as much sense as a football bat. Maybe the real bargain here is the H2. Hub, time for your Yoda like words of wisdom to be injected into this discourse.

I think I'll wait for an affordable puffer from mother tea. That, or the next top model. The rr an r1 just don't cut it for me. Short of the 300hpuffer, the 14 is still king torque like a gun recoil. Everything else is a pea shooter.

R1 has the beans but up high, this bike is all about finesse, RR a little more steam but rougher around the edges is my take. The 1290 SD R is just the ticket for street and canyon, stump pulling torque with handles when you need it. You know you want an R Hub, drop the two one oh.

Green your killin me. I always check in to see how the h2 is doing and you post a video on WIDE OPEN roads and your cruising like your on a harley. If i had roads like that in jersey my tires would last 1000 miles tops. I'm guessing the h2 is mostly hype because after the flash if you had 245hp you would shit a brick about it.
