point taken... but the h2 can only be taken so farAll the high end motorcycles are high teens low 20’s and I don’t see why Cow’s H2 should be lower than the competition?
Price a Beamer or Panigale or the New R1 or Aprillia.... All the same tech and high end components + a supercharger so idk? Maybe I’m just used to outrages Harley prices but I don’t think the H2 is overpriced
Yes you can buy a used Busa cheaper and slap a turbo on it and buy a whole bunch of premium aftermarket components but the truth of the matter is People like to keep up with the Jones’s and want the newest and shiniest thing. Not to mention this is a gotta have it right now society so someone who has the $$$ might not want to buy a used busa and all those parts and trailer it somewhere to get it built or tuned or assembled when they can just buy an H2 right @ the dealership and be done with it

220 hp is impressive on a stock bike... or any bike... the price point makes the bike a toy for the well to do...... and that’s never going to be as far as a Busa.
But..... 220hp from a quick ECU flash is plenty for a sports tourer for folk who stay away from the strip and just want a useable roadbike without heavy mods.
After the H2, H2R, H2 Carbon, H2 SX, SE and + I did wonder if there’d be a naked bike version. Aprilia, KTM, BMW all make full on Super-Nakeds and it wouldn’t be beyond imagination for Kwak to build one to try and rule that class. Maybe a H2 version of the B-King but not so ugly... LOL

for 200 hp.... but its a nice LIL bike... emphasis on the little part.Just got off the phone to my local H2 dealership. They currently have the SE at AU$34,500. They said the 2019 SE+ will be listed at AU$38,000.
I do like them, but that’s 27,000 US$.
yeah, its cute.for 200 hp.... but its a nice LIL bike... emphasis on the little part.
a small hidden low boost turbo ram jam would change your life..... u could get 230hp without touching the motor... 4 lbs of boost.... 100 percent reliable. http://rccturbos.com/index.php/cate...2008-230-hp-hayabusa-stage-1-turbo-kit-detail and to think ure about to spend over 2k on wheels...……………. adding50-60 hp is like losing how many pounds? lol... 100?I looked hard at the H2 SX its power / weight non flashed is 172 hp / 573 lb wet = no difference to bird @ 175 hp / 586 wet . However you get center stand , luggage , cruise control . All Win win for touring .
Valve adjustments look easy on this compared to ZX14 / C14's as the ram air on them is not present on the H2's going over the valve cover blocking access . 220 HP sounds great ! My concern is reliability at that power level . We all know a Hayabusa has zero issues at 230 hp and even a little more without having to start beefing up parts .
Just to consider my bird has luggage / cruise control electronic / and lots of mods , and price wise i'm well over 20, K now . Bought 12,994 new USD , but its all been a little here n there . A 3.5 year build so far .
Weight 520 pounds no luggage or gear to 580 packed up for a trip with just a mere 180 hp
( more if I had it tuned 185 to 190 guess ) Ram Jam is not the fastest bird or bike by any stretch. However it would give ALL a run touring cross country in comfort , speed , reliability , fuel economy , and the COOL factor
if u build a turbo busa…. u wont have to worry about "keeping up" anymore.... it wont be close.Bikes are like computers, you would need to buy one constantly to keep up to the "best."
I agree, the bike which an individual deems is their favorite is the winner in my books, whether that be a scooter or a Harley, if it makes the rider happy, it is all that matters.
It would be challenge to live on the cutting edge these days.
Honestly, a turbo Busa would be wasted on me, I don't ride fast anymore nor do I ride in a crowd that does.if u build a turbo busa…. u wont have to worry about "keeping up" anymore.... it wont be close.
