With most bikes there are trade offs in where the most power is made. The H2 may not be victim to that, supercharging promises to offer a girthy power curve with torque EVERYWHERE.

When you blow an engine you don't need as long cam timing (which is where the powerful top end power comes from) The supercharger will force the airflow that would normally come from the longer timing leaving the valves open for more time.

With shorter timing you get a punch low and mid range, while the super will take care of your top end needs...

One thing I can't wait to see is what the power curve on this will be like, dyno chart needed asap.

Large overlap in valve timing is not needed as with a + pressure intake charge will blow out the exhaust valves and loose effective BMEP. Not to mention emissions problems (think 2 stroke).

What most benchracer types miss is your point, this engine will make a massive amount of torque AND horsepower from 2500 rpm right to the top, so much so that Kaw electronic aids will be required to smooth the torque curve by throwing away power.

Top end H.P. numbers are only good for bragging rights and people who only ride their bikes in a straight line.

Moto GP learned this many years ago. A good example was the Aprilia Cube engine which was making 265 hp but was so violent that no human could ride it fast. Yamaha especially, went to the useable, smooth but less hp approach and Rossi's bikes were the result.

In a race between let's say a BMW or Duc Pani on a track with curves the H-2 will come out of corner exits making so much torque or bottom end that it will be far ahead of these other bikes even with a somewhat greater weight.

What will this feel like? Imagine the bottom end torque of a Duc 1198 (not 1199 Pani) and the top end of all the other sportbikes.

Better start saving for tires!

Fretka i think you are right here, the supercharger will give huge amounts of mid range and i think they will have toned down the top end with BOV control much like a wastegate on a turbo
comparing the supercharged 200hp to a na bike of similar hp may be an unfair comparison

Cant wait to see a dyno run with real figures and in each gear

Power

All i can say is lets imagine you have worked 3STAGE S1000RR AND ZX10R this FUCKING BIKE WILL be Bananas can't say how or where i heard but i know I'm right Same as back in the days i got THE 2010 S1000r i was one of the first ones in USA to have this bike with Full AKRAPOVIC shorty i was clocking 192miles on GPS ALL NIGHT. So now with the H2 and costume pipe and mid pipe with out changing the headers ? You don't need to change the headers they are TITANIUM just add the mid pipe with the can and you god to go One Arm.>>>

As for tires i have left over New set of Pirelli supercorsas V2 the tires are no joke i went to 4 sets so the next tire I'm definitely going with the SUPERCORSAS V2, tire pressure 31F 29R thats me i also spoke to my good friend Mike the termosman. He said iff you need help with the stock suspension call me so i think I'm all good.:nerd:
