It was the only vehicle, on two wheels or four, that truly threatened my eardrums.
Kawasaki sent “Team 38” from Japan to test the limits of the supercharged H2R, the non-street-legal version of the H2. Unfortunately, the Bonneville Salt Flats were too wet for the usual Speed Week testing. But the Southern California Timing Association (SCTA) created some consolation for competitors by obtaining use of the Mojave Air and Space Port for standing-mile runs, instantly making it the new desired destination for record breakers and glory seekers from all over the world.
If speed matters then nothing can beat a jet fighter but, Kawasaki proved this statement, wrong with the production of fastest bike in the earth KAWASAKI H2R, this is not just a name but a world record in motorcycle history. Well motorcycle is an understatement of it, it is a HYPERBIKE.
Yes, Kawasaki has launched this hyperbike in India at 79.90 Lakh INR.
It got a 998 cc motor which produces a tremendous 307.5 HP and 165 N-m of torque matted to a 6-speed transmission with quick-shifter. This bike weighs around 216 Kg and got a 17 liters of fuel tank capacity. Top speed of this beast is 400 Km/h so its only meant for track not for road use!!
The Indian spec model is available in only one variant and one color.
Bikes meant for riding, but this is specifically meant for tracks as it is not a road legal motorcycle. As motorcycles to get road legal should have top speed limited to 299 Km/h keeping riders safety in mind.
Being a automobile journalist, I will recommend this motorcycle one of its kind and a collectors item and can be an ASSIST in future rather then LIABILITY, as it will be limited and got no competition.
So, people if you are a millionaire do check this motorcycle in your nearest kawaski showrooms.
Kawasaki is launching only 1 variant with 1 paint skim to attract buyers as a limited edition model. And it do a ¼ mile strip in just in just 9.43 to cross the line just 0.04 seconds ahead of the F1 car. The two were followed by the F-16 fighter jet coming in at third place.
