Turns out one of my clients has a Kawasaki h2 so I invited him to join us today on a ride up Hwy 49 along the Yuba River. We stopped by a nice waterfall and I snagged a few photos. Have a look-cool bike!

Here's Steve and his fine ride. I'm sure it puts a big grin on his face every time he rides it.

I first saw one at the AIMExpo in Orlando last year and fell in love with the looks… but I think the bike would be nothing but trouble when it came to

paying all the tickets I would acquire ! Kawasaki really steps out with their paint choices, I love the "Candy Burnt orange" they used on the Versys.

 
Minor nit pick here, but those mufflers are hideous compared to the rest of an amazing machine.

I am sure they have to be oversized because of the 300 meth crazed mountain lions residing inside of that engine, but seriously, it looks like an eyesore to me.

Thank you for the picks.

Did he let you sit on it???? You should be in some of those pics.

Whenever our family sees an amazing car like a Ferrari or other exotic, we always take pictures like we are taking it for a ride. We never touch the car though.

 
We all agree the cans were not the best looking but with only 300 in the USA it's doubtful anyone would build aftermarket can as there wouldn't be enough buyers for them.

Too bad as it's way to quiet in stock mode.

 
Saw both the street and the racing version at the Skip Barber Museum in Birmingham AL on our trip last week amongst 1000+ other bikes on displays there.... Def worth the trip to check it out....

Wicked !!!

Thanks for sharing !!

Also saw them at Barber. I touched the carbon fiber canard winglet on the track version and was quickly (and appropriately) upbraided by a docent.

 
Put a set of pipes on the older H2 and I'd bet that it wouldn't be embarrassed in the 1/4 mile by the newer version.

Or maybe use this version....
