That's a beautiful new bike, Grn. It even looks like Kawasaki is continuing the styling direction with he H2 that they started with the ZX-14.

Thanks Daron.Still can't understand why Romes didn't really like his.Course,it was a 2018.Electronic suspension wasn't out till 2019.As far as power and motor operation,this thing flies.Has awesome pull,and runs extremely smooth.It really is a hyper bike.More sport than touring for sure.

He's used to 300 hp. I think he might have realized it was going to be impractical to get that out of the H2. It would have had the same maintenance as an H2R maybe.

Well,I don't think 300 hp on this bike would be a good idea anyway.Bragging rights maybe,but rideability.IDK.I can't imagine 300 carving corners.Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.This thing is plenty strong and fun.Much more than my H2.Never had a bike handle like this one.Or ride like it does.You know you're riding quality.
Though ya never want to drop yer bike,riding the H2 I always had a feeling in the back that crashing it was gonna be REALLY expensive.And it would have been.This one at least if something happened,it would be fixable a lot cheaper.But the thing is...I haven't felt yet like it's gonna go down.And I've been pushing her way more than I did my H2.This thing'll hold confidentaly at 140+in semi sharp curves.I think that's what amazed me most.How much better and quicker I could go through turns.And feel totally safe and controlled.It just steers really well and feels totally planted.
I'm already getting 48 and 46 respective lean angles from it.It'll definitely nail 50 or more.
Thing is,when in a corner railing and you want more lean and speed,ya just add throttle and add a touch more countersteer and get a deeper angle.No drama.It just does what ya ask with the chassis staying completely neutral.Really an amazing feel.Even adding a bit of brake eother front or rear,it stays composed and follows the track.So adding throttle feels much safer.
One thing I've really noticed is when I tuck in for cornering and get my butt halfway off,there's NO wind buffeting going on.It's just a nice slipstream.Very secure feeling.

Romans was always a high speed, straightline kinda guy. I don't know if he ever tried his H2 up to top sped. I don't see how he could resist!

Sweet Bike, Grn!

yup,yup you scored again big time green, bet your lovin that bike in Montana, you got it made.

I DID score.10,500 OTD.Course,that was with trade ins.But still...brand new 0 miles.
And I am lovin it here on these Montana roads.Now it's raining and cold.Probably won't get too many more rides in.Have 1500+ miles on her so far.Interesting thing about the Kawasaki breakin for this bike.They say 600 miles AND the bike may be ridden above the breakin rpms at times without affecting the breakin.That'a a damn good thing,cause I was railing up and down well before 600 miles flew by.And she runs perfectly smooth and solid.Great bike.Ride one if ya can...it's very nice.If they had put this electronic system on the 14r or H2,I wouldn't have gotten this...at least this quickly.But the price I couldn't resist.And I'm totally glad I got her.NO regrets at all.Once ya go supercharged as they've done,ya never look back.It's a HOOT tell ya that.
Plan is to remain stock.This bike honestly doesn't need any mods to it,imo.It rocks.Only '4k' rpms for 250 miles,then 6K to 400miles,then at 600 miles,....(ride moderately LOL).Hard to express the fun this beastie makes cornering and such.I rides so smooth and planted.Max lean so far has ben 48 degrees both sides.Oh it handles alright.
