    I'm loving the H2:D... Took a H2R over to Henstridge last year with Bournmouth Kawaski and had a great evening... image.jpeg image.jpeg

    Well I think they are ugly heavy beasts, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder thank god, or we would all have the same bikes, that would be boring :D

    Would rather have the ZX10R if I had to have a kawaski

    Also can't see the point of the H2R? Can't use on road and to loud for uk track days, so where can you use it?

    We did world of kawaski at Rockinham last year!!! Mega weekend and had no issues with either bike on the track.... But I do get what you mean about the styling! I love the R but don't really like the road fairing! They could have made a much better job with keeping with the sexy rearend .....

    Well how did the H2R pass the noise testing? Did they change the exhuast?
    Thought the R was 120db?

    There would prob be some sort of special dispensation allowance as its a one time track event rather than a normal TDO event!

    When we were at brands last yr for the 3 group full circuit day we were restricted to 102db but during lunch there was a full blown NAS car hooning it around that could be heard absolutely everywhere it went round the full track!

    There is no way it was meeting the 102 limit!

    Was a great day tho! :D

    Don't think they had a limit as there were around 14 of them on the Sunday, it was world of Kawasaki day but I'm sure it's still organised by Focused Events... Any other kind of trackday and they would have been booted out! The R is mega and could almost make your ears bleed.
