Kawasaki's H2R is all about the big numbers; price, power output, fear factor. Donovan is an experienced and very competent racer but could 326bhp be too much even for him?
as someone that has done track time, everyone talking shit about his weight are idiots, the way he cuts the corners and leans is probably better than 99% of the riders out there
BT BOY I disagree with you, I love motorcycles, I am young 18, and do not own one but I love them and want to own one. To me the H2 is bulky, it does not look nimble, the front of the bike where the headlights go looks to wide for me. To me the bike is not ugly, but not the greatest looking bike to me.
I once was driving with an experienced driver in a “16 Civic Touring and he was doing over 100mph and we saw a Fat Soldier on a superbike. Now I’m wondering if that soldier was as good as this guy.... 🤔
Sh!t, i got an adrenaline surge just watching him. Kawasaki's motto should be: *"Kawasaki, All systems GO!",* which is what flight control says when they launch a man into space on a rocket.
People just can't stop talking trash every time they open their mouth!!! He's heavy but let's be honest the guy knows well how to ride and I am pretty sure most of the trolls here don't even consider that before trash talk. Nice video men and nice ride and by the way you did an awesome job ridding that beast!!!
The amazing thing is that the H2R's acceleration is 3x that of the US Navy F-14 Tomcat fighter. F-14 will accelerate from Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.8 in 90 seconds. H2R will accelerate from 0 to 60 in 2.6 seconds. At this rate of acceleration, it would take the H2R 33 seconds to accelerate from Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.8. 33 fits into 90 nearly 3x.
I SALUTE THIS GUY . so many haters because he is fat, but bruh can you guys ride like that even if you look like valentino rossi?, how about more if you are as big as him?, he was choosen because he can talk, but not all who can talk can also do the work.
At 1st I was like They are not going to let this guy take this bike out... And as soon as he left out of pit lane I was like ok ok.. Big mans not afraid of the throttle, and then they panned out and he came around that 1st inside corner with his knee down... Im still smiling... Guy can definitely ride!!!!
Insane stuff!! What a machine! Not my cuppa, but what a machine! Dons riding makes riding the H2R look like a walk in the park, but his gasping tells a whole other story. An awesome review, especially the intro/buildup to the H2R. "if you want pretty, go to a flower show" cracked me up!
Perfect rider for it? He was afraid to go half throttle. They need to get someone young enough, properly fit, properly skilled, and with experience and reflexes to do what the bike was designed to do or it's like running down the block to the grocery store in a lambo.
A daft punk first off younger? why more experience,no just more stupid more fit yes, reflex? all people in the world have the same reflexes, not too clever are you
All people have the same reflex's?? that is not true at all! we all have the same receptors and Nero-trans. but how they respond are completely different and like anything, can be trained! what you suggest is like saying we all have vocal chords so we can all sing like Celine dion! ....not too clever are you??
david Kerridge sit on a table now pick up a smal hammer and tap you self soft on the knee,, see how your leg is "kicked" that's your reflexes, how will you make your reflexes faster? don't reply clever one
Nice to see,,,,this guy got the ride of his life,,, no matter his size....Its nice to see a full grown man reduced to childhood glee,,,,and terror...thats a machine alot of us will never get to try... Goes to show guys like 650ib,,, Mustang Dame and anyone else who street races Brockd out versions of the (Normal) H2 have some skill and Balls,,,,for now ill be happy addin a 675r to my 3 bike collection.... as soon as i win the lottery tho H2R it is...
Very honest, sometimes you just gotta say no. Even if it's the most powerful and sexy two wheeled motor bike one has witnessed yet. I've driven one and no one understood when I stopped at 7th/10 lap. While getting off the bike my mate and everyone around asked if something is wrong with track or bike I said "I can't ride it anymore" and he didn't get it. But i was pleasantly surprised that someone else was honest enough to say that on video channel no less.
Kawasaki ninja was my favourite bike all time. With upgradation of H2R. Oh man I was dreaming the same the metallic chrome allienic type design. It's everything and power. Any more power bikes comes I love this bike only. Ninja H2R
he may be fat but it looks like he can ride,and the man that buys this bike will likely be over 40years old,with money to spend,and a lot of experience with fast bikes,former racer type...when you get older 40-50,you won't be as trim as you once were.And the older dudes that used to race will school the inexperienced on the big bikes...so watch listen and learn,young man...you are looking at a man riding a man's bike...cheers,keep the rubber side down
Always rode Kawasaki. ZZR 1000. 302 km/hr rated factory. GREAT MEMORIES. No one ever passed me up. Auto.Route in France. This one you rode, I'm in love
I can’t even imagine riding that. My 2008 312R F4 MV Agusta scares the crap out of me sometimes with only 186 hp and 86 foot pounds of torque, got a Microtec ECU. The new bikes topping 200 hp is mind blowing to me. I have heard it said that the bikes they are racing now are the street bikes to be 2 to 3 years later. Very impressive motorcycle.
this is a big dude, but the bike is throwing him around like some underweight 14 year old kid. I'd need a year of lifting weights and gaining mass before hoping on that literal crotch-rocket.
Just like Toyota and Lexus are designing cars with appearances years head of the actual others. Right. No, there are universal design languages that still apply regardless of the contemporary hype about short-attention-span anime-styled, overbearing edginess which will feel old in 3-4 years.
Holy shit i'm watching this video with headphones and my hands are legit sweating just by watching this I can't fathom the idea of riding this beast i'd probably end up with 5 years less of my lifespan by the time I get off.
After 👇🏻 previous comment ! I been attacked by many keyboards warriors or aka trolls . Most people said a lot bad thing without thinking which is sad .😕 This guy riding motorcycle for living and been on track or on road has more experience than any trolls. If you have good riding skill you definitely will respect other riders . If you have nothing good to say just say nothing won't do any harm . You judging him riding style other will people will do the same on your riding.
Gotta put on the big boy pants for this ride hey? Made exclusively for RIDERS... Gorgeous bike. Sinister, beautiful, bad ass, all in one. Superb, thanks, enjoyed the review a LOT
I'm in the market for my first bike and my friend is trying to explain to me how i can't control anything over 500cc and after he finally convinced me, RU-vid recommends me this...
In the beginning I was like what did he dress up to crash that bike everything changed after he took those corners and that wheelie awesome bro respect to you..
Although I will never own one or even if I could afford one I still wouldn't buy one, I am still very happy that this thing exists. To call it a monster wouldn't do it justice.
I was once in a 320 hp car, and that felt insane. Fastest bike I've ever been on is currently my Yamaha yzf r125. Can't even imagine how that bike must feel like. But I know j want one.
