hehh H Hour! First ride of the Kawasaki H2 and H2R. | Superbike Magazine

H2 is a physical bike to ride fast, not necessarily because of the weight, but the weight and speed combine like no other bike. You’ll find after a full day that your normal track day muscles won’t be aching, it’ll be new ones. It’s like the difference in fatigue between doing a weights session compared to going for a long run. I’d built the launch of this bike up so much in my head that one lap before the end of the first 20-minute session of many that day, I rolled down pit lane with cottonmouth and a heaving chest. I gulped water down and shook my head, trying to rattle words out of my mouth that just weren’t ready to be released yet. I was speechless.

"the H2 in MCNs video sounds louder, Akra?"...nope,stock.

"The German test rider was fearful, thats the reason for line errors"..methinks they all were a tad apprehensive.

I don't doubt that riding at 300 km/h is a bit tough on the body. I bet that some folks who buy the H2 will be surprised by that. Pro motorcycles riders practice to ride at that speed, so amateurs should expect to have to put some time in to get use to riding at such high speeds.

One downside is it won't embed on the forum with a specific watch time set

It should as long as it has the correct valid link...

Lets check:..

UPDATE:
Guess its doesn't work or I'm forgetting something. When I figure it out I'll post.

UPDATE2:
Yep, Ryder is correct. The embed feature here doesn't allow for specific time starts. That's a bummer. Note to those who would like to embed, remove the "s" from "https://" and it will embed. To specify a start time, leave the "s" in "https://" and add "&t=XnXs" where X is the min and seconds.
