The gtr platform is unreal in terms of what can be accomplished with tuning. Pure Japanese awesomeness. The kawi is sweet as well. Is that the hayabusa replacement? I don't know much about bikes.

Hayabusa model line belongs to Suzuki. The Kawasaki H2 was first released in 1971 and it was the fastest motorcycle of its time.

You can read all about it here, Ninja H2R.

I should know better. I did grow up riding quads and dirt bikes so there is no excuse for calling a busa a Kawasaki

Thx for the info.

Haha no worries. My first bike was a dirt bike also. IIRC it was a Honda CR250 and I was around 14. Fun times.

It was heavily modified. A stock GTR would have been blown away by the bike.

It said the modified GTR was producing 1350HP which is considerably more than even the Bug at around 1000HP. Must have some sort of clutch.
