Bike should be with me in the next week or 2 and can't wait
Yay! BB's got a little more interesting. Definitely the right choice vs the Ariel Honda kit bike in my opinion.

Great...there are a couple of H2 regulars at the local bike meet, they always look awesome. Always been a Kawasaki fan myself and had more than any other brand over the years.

Im sure it will be a different experience, thats for sure smile

I think you will definitely be able to pull wheelies very easily on the H2 ...its keeping it up in a controlled manner that might take a lot more practice wink

We will await the pics, or perhaps there will be a run up North this summer to see the H2 in action smile

Read in MCN today that Kawasaki are planning a much cheaper 800cc supercharged sportsbike, 190bhp ish. Looks like they have a range of supercharged bikes planned...its the future. Something to look forward to for lower emissions, better sounding than electric anyway !

Yeah, Its not like most 190bhp sports bikes are really lacking, without the addition of a supercharger wink

You can explain that you *really* need to experience the improved 100-180mph acceleration of the H2....Im sure she will understand LOL

Im hoping that Spyderclub get an H2 on the fleet this year so at least I can have one for a long weekend smile

I love this bike, too much for me on more or less every level but delighted they make it and people are buying it. Enjoy

As long as they concentrate on making them decent to ride. FI bikes faded into obscurity last time because the engineers couldn't make them as good to ride as N/A bikes.

Electronics have come an awful long way since then.

The H2 had lots of electronic toys that even my 5 year old blade never had. Amazing how things have changed in such a short time

Well done, Matt - the H2 is not a bike you will see on a regular basis. Look forward to seeing it.
