Yep....It's already got twice the power I could handle ....

I am on my second set of M7RR's Mal, they are great. Better grip and longevity than the M5, and better in the wet, not that I guess the H2 will be splashing about all that often.

Dumb question given the type of bike but how many km are you getting from the 17L tank

Its averaging 8 to 8.5 litres per 100 ks,so fuel light is flashing well before 200 ks,so she likes a drink,can only imagine what it will drink when i really give it big handfulls.shares in BP probably a good option.

Ahh cool, i'm only getting about 180km from '12 ZX10R on my commute to work... definitely be interested to see figures when given the berries

Dont worry about petrol, 2,000 ks and its pretty much screwed

Pretty much? I'd say that is most certainly screwed

I want to see a stock H2 play with some stock cars,apart from the ones I have played with (all over very quickly)
Pipe is arriving sometime next week cant wait to get rid of those stock cannons,sound track to come.

might have to take it to Europe

The H2 will reach 184mph from a standing start in just 900 metres. That’s extraordinary. At over 100mph it takes just a fraction over a second to add each 10mph until it hits the limiter; half the time the Hayabusa needs to reach a near-identical top speed. The R1 is surprisingly close to both up to 150mph, and loses nothing to the others in stability on Germany’s super-smooth autobahn, but can’t compete during that last 30mph.

Yep that's exactly right,i would never part with my H2 sometime while I was getting used to it I was thinking suspension too hard,riding position bad but that got better with time spent on the bike.The twisty road scenario is spot on but its your riding style that has to change and each time I have taken it too reefton ,4 times now or is it 5 I have progressively got faster and smoother but theres one thing I know don't ever get complaisant or too cocky too quick or this bike will bite you in the ass.My next experiment is to put a fibre washer between the bar end and the throttle just to stiffen it up a little so as to reduce the jerkiness of power delivery,of course I will make sure it returns properly but this adjustment cant be done with throttle cable adjustments alone and I don't want to flash the ecu as warranty may be an issue. I will master this beast but its going to take time hopefully I will have it down pat by December this year and off to the island I will go.

Happy now the cannons are gone ,but I think theres a tree growing on my tank

Looks much better. Did you get your paint issues sorted out?
