1 Answers
Theoretical 420km/h at 16,000 rpm; currently achieves 400km/h at 14,500 rpm. Below is an introduction to the Kawasaki H2R: 1. The Kawasaki H2R motorcycle has 2 gears, capable of reaching 180km/h in first gear alone, with a top speed exceeding 400km/h. 2. Building upon the traditional 200 horsepower, Kawasaki increased the power output by 50%, pushing the horsepower directly to 300. 3. The Kawasaki H2R's 300 maximum horsepower is delivered by a 998cc, centrifugal turbocharged supercharged water-cooled inline four-cylinder engine. The development of this engine received substantial technical assistance from Kawasaki Heavy Industries' aerospace division, equivalent to a 1L displacement engine producing 300 horsepower, which imposes extremely high demands on the engine's manufacturing process.
