Internet = the opposite of Vegas

There are awesome bikes in the pipeline for as far as the eye can see - I wouldn't know where to begin! ;)

I like sportbikes myself, and when I look at what the future holds I get all giddy inside...that's the honest truth. It's a great time to be a lover of motorcycles and a great time to be a Ducatista.

CAN'T WAIT! Thank you my friend, we are all very excited to see what else is coming. I could not agree with you more, it's great to see all these new things coming!!!
 
Yes it is actually. Don't forsee it being a problem, especially if all Ducati is doing is upping 100cc for a few more ponies. It's been fun on the Pani, but excited to see what Kawa has in store. This will undoubtedly change the game for all other companies to step it up. I'll make sure to let you know when I get it, I'm sure it will be in limited production.

It depends on what you want in a bike. The reality is that damn few people track bikes, and damn few street riders push hard enough to matter. Most people want bragging rights or cool factor. If we are honest with ourselves, that's why most of us here own a Ducati. That doesn't mean some of us don't push our bikes hard. But we could have gotten the same objective thrill on a CBR1000rr.
 
Well, at least they are doing a brilliant marketing job by creating this hype and "leaking" out a little information here and there... I think the new H2 is being discussed on every motorcycle related forum and website on the whole internet right now...

Top job!

the only kawi's i've been interested in were the ninja 250 or the kx100

even if the H2 came with a 450HP engine, it'd never get me wood

Agreed. This new H2 is easily one of the most, if not the most, anticipated bikes produced by any manufacturer in the last 4-5 years - perhaps longer. Kawasaki has a fairly strong track record of pushing the envelope, and has shown they know what it takes to raise the bar. I initially felt Kawasaki's decision to label this new bike an H2 was fairly risky; however, considering the impressive details that have been unveiled thus far, it just may live up to the name. I certainly won't be parting ways with the Duc, but I am considering adding one of these to the stable - after having a chance to see what it actually is, of course.
 
Spoilers/Wings? Really? That would look kind of silly on a motorcycle...like it needs stuff sticking out...

But I have to say... can't wait to see the darn thing...
 
someone who had the chance to ride it (test rider) was asked if he could categorize it - his response:

"bad mother-effer category" :D

the front wings/flaps remind me of what the 1199 has under the headlights...
i hope they have a design patent on these :D :D :D

the amount of carbon fiber (like on the SL) indicates either a quite high price or a really sophisticated, cost effective production method...
