The H2R is nearly 300hp...but I doubt the street going version H2 will have that amount.

From some numbers I've seen tossed around online, it looks like the H2R will be $80,000 and the H2 is $40,000?

 

I think it will be north of 100K!

 

One horse produces about 15 horsepower, so that thing's only pumping out about 20 horses worth of power in the real world. Unimpressive. I'll take 103 of the High Outputs like mikstr.

 

That's about 15 peak horsepower, 7. Not sustained. I know this because I read it on theChive, the source of most of my impressive knowledge.

 

I knew I wouldn't be alone in wanting REAL power...... Hell, that ain't even an HO...... oops, mid-day prayers, now which way is Milwaukee again?

 

coming from someone who rides such a pedestrian machine!...lol

 

and that's precisely why I'm lookin' at movin' on to some real Milwaukee horsepower HO baby!!!!

 

i prefer the cold beverage of the same name.

 

well, the name of the beer sums up the technology of the bikes quite well too, lol

sorry for the jack... Jack

 

OMG there are a few Angels ready to trade their wings for that thing!

 

My question is... If I loft the front wheel doin' 60-70 will the wings catch the air and just flip me right the fark over? Or does it have that fancy technology that prevents me from popping a wheelie?

For those 2 reasons, I'm out.

 

Those "winglets" aren't to provide downforce...Imagine what a downforce like that would do when you're leaned over at 50+ degrees in a turn..not a good thing.. The winglets (from what I've read) aid in high speed stability, so they could keep the wheelbase shorter for better handling, yet still be stable at very high speeds. Not sure what it would do when the front wheel comes up.

To me that fairing is hideous. The street version supposedly has slightly different styling, but I haven't seen it yet.

 

Street version is putting out something like 200 horses right ?
from a 1000 thats double a standard hawk has common guys thats impressive,
but i am wondering about engine longevity how good are the internals ? does anybody know ? must be some titanium in that race version though...
bet you that race version needs some higher octane fuel to make it somewhat safer and if you run on lower octane you would void some warranty but anyone who can efford the R can afford some race fuel to

 

For common guys it might be impressive, but we're Superhawk owners! Excelsior!
