Default Kawasaki H2R, 300hp supercharged motorcycle

Today Kawasaki unveiled the much anticipated H2R, and holy cow it has a supercharged 1000cc engine making 300hp. The power-to-weight ratio of this thing is off the charts.

I've owned a 1000cc bike before and it "only" produced ~180hp and it was plenty fast. I can't imagine riding a bike with an extra 120 ponies. Interesting to see how the traction control and abs will work with this monster.

Too bad it's track-only for now, but they did mention a street-legal version coming out later this year.

Here's an article on the bike: 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R Unveiled at INTERMOT 2014 Motorcycle Show
