What happened to the manufacturers agreeing on publishing 189mph as the top speed of their bikes (even when it was clear they were 200+ machines)

Does that only apply to street bikes?
View Quote


Yes, the gentlemens agreement to limit top speed to 300kph/186mph started in 01, but it only applies to street legal bikes.  A closed circuit bike has no such limitation.   It is also a real electronic limiter, not just a published top speed.  The current Hayabusa and ZX14 can have the limiter removed to push speeds a lil bit higher.

Basically with this limitation in place, the race is how fast can you get to your top speed.

The H2R is a thing of dreams - and race teams only. The H2 will be a bit more tame. I've been hearing "only" 200 hp, but I bet it will be easy to mod it into the race bike numbers. I wonder if the H2 will lose all the carbon fiber and go for cheaper plastics?

I'm not saying its legal.... But if you have the money to buy it.... Buy it and buy a busted newish Kawi liter bike for title, registration, and tag.  I have been pulled over a few times and the cop never checked the VIN...   Rig up a tag bracket and lights and rock out...  Plus if you pull over/crash/get caught breaking the law on that bike going anywhere near its top speed having the "wrong" tag on the bike is the least of your concerns...

Just saying .

My first Streetbike when I was 19 was a gsxr-1000. It was fast, not that fast. It was a modest ride that wasn't scary at all. Yes I rode it hard and took it to the track and had no chicken strips. If the bike had another 50hp maybe it would have been a little scary but stock? I felt like home on that bike.

I would totally ride that Kawi, even though it's a kawi lol. I sure as hell wouldn't pay for it but I'd ride it.

Yes. Three-hundred horsepower. That's what Kawasaki's absolutely deranged Ninja H2R is putting out. They say it was made "to offer the kind of acceleration most riders had never experienced." Apparently you have to qualify that statement with "most" because of the handful of riders that also pilot SR-71 Blackbirds.

It might be fun to try it around town, and lean on the throttle in a straight line. I'd need a governor on one to limit the rpms to 1000.
