Two teeth less on the rear sprocket on the H2R other then that it is all the sameIt's in that promo video. The last frame of the bike accelerating at :32 there is one frame showing 216 in 6th at 14K. Honestly that's a little lower than I'd expected but still, nice to see the shift light isn't on like it would be on the 10R @ full tilt in 6th.

The bike in the vid is the H2R - does anyone know if the gearing is the same on both bikes?
Where'd you get the gearing? Do you know how many teeth there are? Like to figure out the percentages.Two teeth less on the rear sprocket on the H2R other then that it is all the same
If it's 2 teeth on 42 that means either 226mph or 206 for the H2 vs the H2R depending on whether they're adding or taking away. Are we sure which it is? Which did he start with? 40, 42 or 44. Will do some digging.Isn't it 18 up front and 42 rear?I know Gadson mentioned it in one of his videos where he talked about changing the gearing...and wasn't too successful with it performance wise(wheelying and such)

Awesome. Thanks!H2R

You have been gps verified 200mph?? I know the new 14r has a speedo thatgoes close if not that high. But.. It's very inaccurate though.. But you probly know that but just sayin.Awesome. Thanks!
So busted out the calculator and it looks like the H2R is 216mph with the 42 and the H2 is 208-209 with the 44. The video is accurate.
You can do it yourself here:
Motorcycle gear/rpm/speed calculator
(BTW if you use this tool the driving drive numbers are transposed so you'll have to put them in 16/51 rather than 51/16 as above)
That said, it seems there will be plenty of power to run pretty much any rear gear you like. Kinda wish 6th had more legs though. I've already been over 200 a couple times. Was hoping to see what north of 230 looked like…oh well, just need a 40 tooth rear I guess. >![]()
201.3 GPS verified. Took almost 2 miles to get it up that fast. I did it more than once. See, first you do it for yourself and no one believes you, then you have to do it again. Then you have to do it in both directions because some a-hole decided that would be the rules. Moral of the story, the 2000 ZX-12R was absolutely capable. The completely useless speedo was showing way past 340KM/h. Although I was going about 20mph slower, it was fun to look at very, very briefly. Past 150 it is all kinda the same except for the numbers; the wind noise is deafening, head vibrates like it's being dragged down a dirt road and that road you thought was straight for 2 miles actually has a couple of turns in it.You have been gps verified 200mph??

Is it hard copy or digital? (You see where I'm going with this)?Service manual for the H2 confirms 18/44 gearing
On the Kawasaki Canadian site in the technical spec.Where'd you get the gearing? Do you know how many teeth there are? Like to figure out the percentages.
The above ratios are the same in the service manualOverall Drive Ratio - 5.110 at top gear
