Ninja H2R Testing @ Losail Circuit, Qatar

That's awesome, sounds just like it does at a MotoGP race!

Wish they had some H2 runs

H2 sound is pretty 'unspectacular' with the standard pipe

something has got to be wrong with the audio in that video, it sounds muffled, almost 'submerged' if you will...

I agree, personal video devices don't always capture sound well.

This guy liked it for sure ....

around 40 seconds, he coems out of the corner doing 70 something, in less then a second its up over 100 (still leaned over) and 2 seconds after that hes at 180 something... HA!!!

Even better is at 1:18 hes doing over 200 with the bike leaned over...in 4th

Someone here posted that 6 R1's had blown up at some sort of press release.I can't find that anywhere on the web.

They had the press release at Sydney motor sports park if this helps. I would like to see if this is true

Not a peep from the North American publications...interesting....

I conclude that there were only 8 Journalists in the first round at the Losail Circuit in 2 groups of 4 each... presumably none from North America as yet.

Of course not, anyone who mentions ANYTHING immediately becomes persona non grata at all future Yamaha events, and not just him, the whole publication... >

BUT, yes I want to know if its true. Would the Sydney heat have anything to do with it???

Also tried quickly searching for information on it and nothing really comes up other than this thread

LOL...I doubt 6 new R1's grenaded at the samr place.Or even that ANY blew.?
