You did mean ONE LITER bike, right? Anyway, I have been watching this thing as Kawasaki has been gradually pulling back the wraps over the last couple weeks. I never would have believed it. What a machine. But on another note, since when did any manufacturer advertise and reveal a track-only bike in this manner? We're told that in a few weeks, Captain K will be releasing a street-going version of this platform. Seems like they would have revealed the streeter first, but what do I know? I'm sure the Big K marketing machine knows what they're doing. It's hard to argue with the 300 hp tidal wave that is quickly engulfing motorcycle headlines.They say the H2R is for racing. What sort of racing? Drags I guess, but I have to wonder what sort of organized racing will allow a Supercharged, I4 liter bike. But if the goal was to build a sphincter tightening bike, then it appears Kawasaki is spot on.

I remember walking out of Waterford Kettering High somewhere around 1971 looking out into the parking lot and watching the show. Camaros, Chevelles, Mustangs, Road Runners, big blocks, hemis, headers, SS Cragars, and in the midst of it all, something really got my attention. One day some fool on an Kawasaki H1 was blasting down the front end of the parking lot doing a wheelie. The engine was just screaming. I was bit. The sound of a three cylinder two stroke was like none other on earth, at least to this 15 year old impressionable young man. I remember thinking, "I gotta get me one of them things." However, I never did. My wallet could only handle a 125 enduro. Maybe that's why I'm still alive to talk about it...Yes, omitted comma.You did mean ONE LITER bike, right?They say the H2R is for racing. What sort of racing?

I had a H1. Surprising I survived the experience at 20 or so years old.
