2 Answers
The differences between Kawasaki H2 and Kawasaki H2R are: 1. Different power: The maximum power of the Kawasaki H2 engine is 200ps; the maximum power of the Kawasaki H2R engine is 310ps. 2. Different tire sizes: The front tire size of the Kawasaki H2 is 120/70r17m/c, and the rear tire size is 200/55r17m/c; the front tire size of the Kawasaki H2R is 120/600r17, and the rear tire size is 190/650r17. Taking the 2021 Kawasaki H2R as an example, its body dimensions are: length 2070mm, width 770mm, height 1160mm, and seat height is 830mm.
As a die-hard motorcycle enthusiast, I must say the Kawasaki H2 and H2R are essentially sibling models, but their capabilities are worlds apart. The H2 is already mind-blowing for daily riding, with around 200 horsepower and acceleration so intense it takes your breath away, making it suitable for legal street use. The H2R, on the other hand, rockets up to 310 horsepower—it's an absolute track beast, designed specifically for straight-line speed, equipped with winglets for aerodynamics and a top speed exceeding 400 km/h. The H2R features a fully exposed carbon fiber body, super lightweight, but lacks headlights and mirrors, making it completely illegal for road use. The H2 is more practical, fully equipped, and even suitable for commuting. After years of riding, I must warn you: the H2R belongs on the track to unleash its potential; for ordinary riders, it could easily lead to loss of control because it's so ferocious, and modifications require extra caution.
