That's... what? The hp of almost three Civics on two wheels? Craziness.

It puts down around 20% more than a motogp bike. I hope they leave the drivetrain in the street version exactly the same and turn the boost down so it can be tuned and turned back up. The first time i saw the head on picture of the h2r i thought of darth vader's helmet. 25-30k is my best guess at the msrp.


Also curious to see Suzuki's rebuttal.

It's groundbreaking because it's 300hp on a 1000 frame from an OEM. It doesn't take much to get ab existing hyabusa or zx-14 to 300hp. Most of the grudge bikes around here are 325-500hp.

The centrifugal supercharger interests me. Drag bikes are nitrous or turbo for the most part. I guess they liked the idea of linear boost.
