⋆No one dares to challenge ZX-14R⋆ -Kawasaki: ''Fine. I'll do it myself.''

As a kid of the 60’s I was all about Honda motorcycles. You wouldn’t catch me on anything but. That is until the late 80’s when I happened upon a 75’ Z1. The seller was clueless to its legendary status much like a 69’ Camaro. I gave her every thing I had in my pocket to purchase it; a whole $50. I’ve been on Kawasaki’s ever since. Present day ride is a ZX6R, which if I was to sell it would get every penny back. The ZX6R smokes the legend. But the legends value is, what is 300 to 400 times what I paid for it. It has 5 times the value of the ZX6R. 😎

I love how history is explained. I didn't know the supercharger in the motorcycle goes way back. Damn. .. Bart, make one for honda vfr, please 😬

It is hard to imagine that the H2 will ever be profitable nor that the company had any illusions that it would. I surmise that it is primarily a showcase for Kawasaki’s technological prowess. It is also a limited production example of industrial design, a work of art way beyond the capacity of custom bike shops. Reminds me of Ford’s “cost be damned” development of the GT40. I cannot think of anything comparable in the last five decades.

Your videos are very well put together. Some of the best on YouTube 👍

"Talk to me Kawi"

It's wild to see those big engines on something that today looks like 125cc bike frame
-
Kawasaki hit th nail in the head with this one.. its like almost a decade since they released this and they are still selling as of today... Insane motorbike.. Im just curious, if they made this bike with a counter rotating crankshaft will it be more manageable?
-
As if the bike isn't crazy enough there's an SX model with panniers and more comfortable ergos. So, if you want rip you face off speed but still want to carry stuff....they got that covered too.
-
i just got the zh2 and i can tell you first hand, its incredible
-
Poor Honda didn’t even get a shout out. The Honda Blackbird was the bike that started this ridiculousness. Without it we probably wouldn’t have the Hyabusa or the H2.
-
I cant believe its been 10 years - buy i remember the time just before launch, and the hype was real! I would periodically update kawasakis different medias to see if there was any news out. I remember sitting on my dads staircase watching that ferocious dyno video with the cherry red headers
-
The difference between H2 and Veyron is, that almost 2 tons is still heavy for a car.....
-
Awesome video bart!
-
Thank you Bart. This was well timed.
-
I had a Kawa 250cc mach 1. Used it 3 months to daily drive to school (80km) I broke down at least once a week. But when it did not break down it was pretty "frightening" (in winter with snow) In the mean time I made one Honda CB550 out of 2 (one crashed with good engine, one with a dead engine)
-
When talking about what machine they made to overcome Suzuki you forgot the ZX14. It was kicking Busa ass long before the H2 was
-
Your videos are always great quality and very well researched. The only thing I’d want added is a sound clip of the bike’s sound 🙏🏼 But yeah, great video thanks
-
Description of Kawasaki innovation is- "they looked at what the other manufacturers were waving and decided they would make the same, but an inch bigger".

bart please do a video on the bimota tesi h2
