wow! wings. kawa is bringing something mean! maybe a land moving aircraft!

how much will it cost i start to wonder?

Posted

I'm afraid wings on a bike will look ugly.

The wing downforce might become lift or a sideways force when leaned over?

I'm sure Kawi knows better than me so we shall wait and see.

I'm hearing rumors it's an ZZR1400 / ZX14RR style powerplant with around 230ps max boost

Maybe they have researched F1 technology and figured out how to adapt it to a 2-wheeler.

It's just the opposite for me.;)

There's probably a lighting kit available, and those winglets would certainly unbolt for the fitting of mirrors- the first ones released are supposed to be track-only versions.

We'll finally know the deal by tomorrow (also the new S1000RR will be unveiled, and there might be word on the Ducati 1299, which will be the replacement for the Panigale R).

All CF bodywork- wow- this thing will probably be north of 25K in the US- I bet it will approach 2m in LOS.

Wow, trellis frame and single sided swingarm. Looks like the love child of a Ducati and a transformer! laugh.png

Not what I was expecting at all. Be interesting to see the specs.

Posted

wow, great bike, looks great!

as expected it will be super fast as well and technically complex and nice.

But again an unreachable bike which will stay in dreams!

world need more down to earth bikes not like a track bike with cf body work on steroids which will cost a fortune and you dont ride it much on normal roads.

I was expecting a bike that is affordable and fast combining the advantages of small displacement with a supercharger, light weight and good power.

Still, it is a game changing bike for sure. good job kawasaki. and it looks superb again and again.

I saw a duc 899 last week and this thing makes the 899 look like a entry level motorcycle. Based on what ive seen so far.

No doubt, I'd imagine this thing will be putting out in excess of 200 BHP. Different type of bike for sure.

Damn, that looks like serious business. I applaud Kawasaki for pushing the limits, this is how technology advances and while it's not a bike for me at all, I am sure the technology will trickle down to smaller cc for-daily-use bikes for the benefit of all. :)

I hope we'll see some tech spec today or latest tomorrow and it will be interesting how a street legal version will look like.

With all the carbon fiber and that beast of an engine, power to weight ratio will most likely be >1 :D

Well, it's an H2 R, so it must be the race version- now I want to see the street version.

No spec sheet yet but Kawasaki has given a 300PS number, street legal version to be shown in Novemeber.

THREE HUNDRED FRICKIN HORSE POWER! :D

That's only at the crank though. Don't get too excited!

Finally a real Japanese Superbike that can go toe to toe with Ducati. Not just in performance terms but also in design. It's a work of art!
