Nice digs race
Seemed to of. Think the guy having a run under his belt helped too. perhaps he made electronic adjustments as well? I know for my bike having tc above 1 will kill drive. Off is best of course.. But wot with tc off isn't for faint of heart even on 10r never mind h2Pulling the can made a difference, well I'll be...
Rhody...
How was that great? I just watched my $30k supercharged bike get beat by a naturally aspirated sibling that costs half of what I just paid for mine. Getting a little irked by the fact that the H2 is having serious difficulty beating every other 1K with bolt ons. It should be a bloodbath not luck of the draw.That was a GRREAT vid, thanks for posting.
Something smells fishy about you, the only one on hear that ever referred to this bike as costing $30K was banned from this site. The H2 cost was $25K and if you really own one, you would know that.How was that great?

It was $25K for the bike, $1600 in prep, delivery fees and paperwork and then almost 2K in taxes. I know because I wrote the checks a week ago. Add a tune, PowerCommander and an air filer there's a $30,000 hole in my bank account. If YOU owned one you'd know that. How is the truth 'fishy'?Something smells fishy about you, the only one on hear that ever referred to this bike as costing $30K was banned from this site.

Well I think your logic is a little flawed. Bone stock bike vs a built up bike that cost half that. The guy could of been working on that thing since 2011, the cash amortized over the time for bike and mods could well add up to more then H2 OTD cost. Not to mention because his starting cost was lower he is freer to mod. Also, the first tunes came online just last week and this guy is out in the Bay Area, Guhl is in PA and Brocks is in OH, and besides the pricey Akra there is no exhaust mod that doesn't require custom fab work...How was that great?

The 10R was spending a lot of time bouncing off the rev limiter. I think a better rider on the 10R might've put the H2 under.Well I think your logic is a little flawed.

And riders again. Skill levels? Size is obviously huge, from the comments the guy on H2 is 6'4 245 while the guy on the 10R is 155 lbs
I expected the new r1 to be a little closer to 2008 tech on the busa....The stats from MCN in the UK show that the H2 certainly has the legs on the stock 2015 R1 and Hayabusa - see![]()

And the H2 is just at the start of the learning curve when it comes to modifications and tuning ......................
I get it but they didn't compare it to anything comparable or relevant. The 'Busa is a pig that a stock 12R would destroy. Why didn't they put it up against the Panigale and the 10R? The 10R has the same HP and the Duc has quite a bit more along with a substantial weight savings. THAT would have made sense.The stats from MCN in the UK show that the H2 certainly has the legs on the stock 2015 R1 and Hayabusa - see![]()

The new R1 is the bike that is currently winning all the comparative tests, isn't it? I think comparing to the R1 should be pretty representative of a wide variety of contemporary 1000cc inline fours.I get it but they didn't compare it to anything comparable or relevant.

First, a stock 12R is not destroying a Gen2 Busa...it is down around 20 peak hp in stock form, and the torque curve is not even comparable. I've owned, and raced, both. Second, the bone stock USA 10R will make maybe 160 hp. Around 30 hp less than the bone stock H2. Now if you want to de-restrict both bikes, well that chasm will grow to around 50 hp (or more).I get it but they didn't compare it to anything comparable or relevant.
