But there must be more competitors than just the Ducati Panigale. What about something like the CBR1000rr?

not in terms of torque. Its the age old gutless I4 (compared to V's that is), Fretka outlines it in his post, peak outputs are reached much higher in the rev band...But there must be more competitors than just the Ducati Panigale. What about something like the CBR1000rr?

Yes but without knowing what your feeling/seeing/hearing how will you know what your feeling/seeing/hearing.I think that I would understand the difference best by actually getting a chance to ride the H2. Saying something on paper just doesn't give the same understanding as experiencing it for yourself.
Seeing how these bike perform it the hands of owners is what interests me, seeing what issues may come out, how going about dealing with those issues go, etc.I'm totally stoked that us who've taken the next step to own one of these are gonna actually be able to R&D these awesome bikes.These aren't the Panagales...or R1's..or anything else out there...these are totally unique and different bikes...gonna be a blast getting to know em...big thumbs up to all...it's gonna be a GREAT new year![]()
I dunno man, H2 is still relatively compact wheelbase wise, yea its heavier so theres a bit more effort lugging it side to side, but that shouldn't be a problem for a good fit rider.No real direct competition for the H2, the Aprilia or BMW will probably smoke it on a race track. With some traction work, it might compete with the Busa or ZX14 at the drag strip.
My guess is most 600's will out run it on twisty streets. The bike however, should be way cool on bike nights though, as a limited production bike, it will always stick out. Once we get familiar with it's handling, 1/4 mile and top speed, then it will actually earn some respect.
