Single sided swing arm, trelis frame and that front end (minus flaps)... I'm starting to think Kawasaki took more than a few cues from the Panigale.
I just hope it's as light as a ZX10 at least

On here they have some information (whether its true or not) around the engine that's in this thing. its looking like it'll have more power than my xr6 all going to one wheel. I can't see most people even beginning to use this bike to its potential. Let alone keeping traction once the supercharger kicks in.

AMCN is confirming that

I'm guessing the road version will probably have a bit less... say, 250hp?

Colours don't do the fairings much but the trellis frame looks sweet! Star wheel is growing on me

Does that mean the "Gosling principle" is no more?

Yowsa. Hopefully the road version loses the winged keel. Looks pretty special though

......Does that mean the "Gosling principle" is no more?......
there are absolutes - and then there are possibilities....
For example - I am absolutely sure that the cook will not entertain any possibility of me getting a new bike...
On the other hand - I am also absolutely sure that if I didn't tell her that a new bike was coming - the possibilities are endless.....

I can attest to it's value, I have successfully employed this principle 3 times Gos. We can all see you want to, it's almost like it's your destiny

Finally a worthy replacement for the ZX9R!
http://kawasaki.com/Products/2015-Ninja-H2R
I've seen a few comments here and elsewhere "whats the point?" You can't race it against anything, its not road legal. Even the road legal version would be super expensive, cost a fortune to insure and not really be good for too much in the real world.
To them I say this... did you really not see this bike and go WOW? This is the batbike. Its got everything but freakin lasers. Its even got wings to mount the missiles ffs!
This thing doesn't need a point. Its a party on wheels all by itself.
Cheers
