Yep. No VIN, no title...but you get tire warmers with it. There's also the H2 Carbon - an R tuned for the street, with title, lights, and all that stuff - and the "sport-tour" version H2 SX, which we have one of at work. 1000cc, factory supercharged. And the SX gives you heated grips and cruise control, along with a full suite of electronics - quickshift up and down, launch control, traction control, wheelie control, and cornering ABS - all controlled through a six-axis IMU. Pret. Ty. Slick. | ||

Oh yeah? What about oval track? Road course? | ||

Oh yeah? What about oval track? Road course? What about 60,000 feet in the air? I'm sure the F16 is the fastest. The test was: fastest in a straight line over a set distance. H2R stomps a mudhole in it. | ||

A modern jet would have trounced it.  | ||
| Crusty |
It might be a hell of a lot faster, but it could never replace the Roadster. | ||
| Pwnzor |
That's true, but what a thrill that had to be... Whipping everything and everyone else... Looking back at that F16 as he crossed the finish line | ||
| Greg_e |
I think it might have been different if the jet was using full afterburner. | ||

Here lies the difference between quick and fast. Let the F16 do a touch and go with the afterburner on while the H2R launches. (Message edited by zac4mac on September 22, 2018) | ||

I will add that at the mile sprints I take the EBR 1190RS to, I've seen unaltered H2Rs break 200mph in a mile. Way faster/quicker than me. | ||
| Hootowl |
Or simply use a fighter from this century. The F22 will break the sound barrier without using afterburners. As will the 23. Heck, the upgraded engines in the old F14A+ and D were so powerful in zone 5 they couldn’t use ab on launch - it would break the cat. Just saying, the F16 is a bit long in the tooth. | ||

Why not add in a top fuel dragster? Don Garlits ran against Navy jets back in the 70's. | ||
| Pwnzor |
For f**k's sake, does one of you have an F22 lying around so we can run a new test? (Message edited by pwnzor on September 23, 2018) | ||

My uncle has one | ||
| Hootowl |
Where'd they get the F16? Probably from my uncle. | ||

Kaw H2R vs Zero! Longish vid, but fun, good info on the Zero. I'd love to have one of those... | ||
| Pwnzor |
Yeah, let me see them race on the runway... the guy on the H2R didn't even really try. No doubt, the Zero is quick. | ||

That video is not an H2R. The R has no VIN, no lights, no mirrors, race only. The one in the video looks like an H2 Carbon. There's (3) H2's: H2R - race only, comes with tire warmers H2 Carbon - the street version (detuned, of course) of the R. Clipons, full electronics suite, lights, mirrors, title, VIN. H2 SX - "sport-tour" version: riser style bars, full sized touring fairing, LED cornering lamps that light up based on lean angle, quickshift up and down, traction and launch control, cornering ABS, available hard bags, and standard cruise and heated grips. The SX also has its very own design of supercharger impeller, along with its own software and tuning. | ||

This . . . when you get to the root of it . . is kinda just playground boy talk. I suspect any one of us here could arrange a venue and protocol that would favor any of the contestant vehicles. My sense is that the moment the vertical climb portion starts the advantage swings heavily to the aircraft. In addition, some of these fun comparison conveniently discount utility and practicality. While the H2 may, indeed, be faster than the Bugati . . . well, you could buy every H@ ever made for the price of the Bugati. The only Yamaha I'm interested in, at the moment, is the CFX-9 . . . But . . these are always fun to watch and see folks put their individual spin on the results. | ||
| Shoggin |
I hear the CFX-9 is faster than the H2R from 0-6mph...  | ||
| Ratbuell |
yeah, it accelerates at 9.8 m/s(2)...but the catch is, it's a one-shot deal. | ||
| Court |
Hahaha...... it that baby accelerates you better certain the insurance is paid up. 😀 | ||
| Rick_a |
This looked like fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_n7ru1e-rg | ||

THAT looks like fun . . . | ||

It only needs to be 26 seconds long. | ||
| Fresnobuell |
after watching the Kawi hit 248MPH all I have to say is GOD DAMN I love motorcycles! |
