I hope someday you get the opportunity to ride an H2R so you can see just how incorrect that statement is. Its also not a nice thing to say to the wonderful engineers at Kawasaki who worked so hard over the years making the H2 and H2R so very special. If you think they've wasted their time you should let them know. Customer feedback is important.
What did H2IK say that was "not a nice thing to say"? Or "incorrect"?
H2IK "WILL enjoy my 300hp H2 on the road every day and I will also enjoy the $20,000 I saved while having the same performance."
I don't see anything wrong w/ that, A LOT of us agree & it's just a personal opinion based on the individual. Fact is it's not something you can enjoy as much or all the time, the H2R, is not street legal. If I owned one I'd be lucky to use it 4 times a year.... Flashed the Stage II H2 will make the same or more power as a stock H2R, it's just as quick if not faster and $20,000 less. I don't think he was insulting anyone.

I love how people get all caught up in the d*ck-swinging contests that dyno numbers can start.
The bike we brought to Mojave would barely bust 250 RWHP (SAE scale) on the Sport Rider dyno before we loaded it up. What did we do? Pout...cry... start chewing our nails? Nah, we went out and blew more records out of the water. We had no doubt that Kawasaki engineers did their job with the bike, and that our parts/tune-up from the Ohio mile would work just as well in the desert. It's a stock bike - just bolt-on and go, it will do the rest as long as we have a good rider. Kent is one of the best, so it's all good.
Our 226.9 MPH time ticket trumps what the dyno says is 'fast' any day of the week.
At the end of the day, it's all about the FUN these machines bring to our world - that's why we own them... don't stress over the absolutes

The H2R makes north of 320 horsepower. Fast Bikes corrected their numbers and were the ones who discovered the dyno requirements to get the correct numbers. Kevin Duke at motorcycle.com was using Ricky's ECU for their dyno pulls so its no wonder why their figures were low. Each H2R is dyno'd at the factory to make sure they're up to par. We have unit
#36 which was the first H2R in the US. It made 326 horsepower on the dyno and it was even running a bit rich.
Rest assured KawiH2R, your bike is making 320+. If you did not get the dyno sheet, look at the MCO. They put the power output on it as a requirement in both HP and PS. If it makes less than that on a dyno where you are either check your fuel or find another dyno.
