MCN got a very special run out on Kawasaki’s new H2R just after MCE British Superbikes race one at Brands Hatch, with Senior Road Tester Adam ‘Chad’ Child onboard – and of course we covered it in cameras!

EletroBoy TV says:

I don´t know whats the point of videos like this. who wants to see the butt
of someone riding a motorbike? there already plenty of videos of the h2 on
track. we espect more from MCN

Ian Enciso says:

Brands Hatch isnt big enough to really utilize the H2R …. Silverstone GP
layout…. u guys really need to test the H2R at Silverstone!

Alexei Platonov says:

30 seconds of incoherent blabber, 90 seconds of a man’s ass, some more
track POV that might as well have been filmed on a Vespa and sped up, I
Sir, am not not impressed.

Wee Al's Wheels says:

I’m no expert but has someone rattled this threw a multiple audio cleaner
and left it sounding like pure garbage?….. Yup :'( 

jason carrier says:

You know when you stumble onto one of their old videos and they haven’t
learned to use a mic and you say “in the future they will. ”

They haven’t.

CDolan2 says:

Not to self: Make a stubby key so as to not block the speedo when filming.
I think the highest number I saw was in the 150 ‘ s , which it would
probably
do in a standing start quarter mile. Track too small as others have said.

Aby Mathew says:

Waiting for the comparison test of R1m and H2r.

sherman han says:

1st

Simon Scott says:

Interesting, clearly lots of power. Love the 2nd power wheel landing hard
enough to move the camera. However Mcn just a couple of things sort your
cameras and esp sound/mics out please!

tom john says:

240 mph is possible theoritically

Neil Cole says:

Dear Santa!!

hung huge says:

H2R again. What’s the point in repeatedly testing the track bike? Most
people will buy the road version so this is almost completely pointless.
Might aswell test an nsr500 for all the difference it makes to anyone in
the real world.

Jorge Sotolongo says:

Charley!

MrPninja says:

well how was it

mavxr says:

Nice to see Charlie there, what is he up to these days?

Turret Barrage says:

HORY SHET!!

Ivan Korać says:

Nice ass, who cares about the stupid bike. 

boarder989 says:

I’d love to own this bike!

Marco Starr says:

must try harder

Thunder Child says:

I have to defend MCN here, on the UK circuits ive been on, you can only
film with bike mounted cameras. Please don’t moan about ass shots. Clearly
this vid would not have been possible without the sponsors shown.

Josh Collins says:

Charlie ❤️

Dennis Waterreus says:

Please post something decent for once. All these 3 min videos without any
in dept reviews or any proper commentary. You are about to lose another
subscriber.

bigbinston says:

i have a question but not exactly about this bike just hyperbikes in
general.mcn and all uk mags rave about history of hyperbikes every once in
a while, zzr100, blackbird and busa then zzr1400 but the zx12r ninja always
gets forgotten i had the a1 model years back and i can tell you from
experience it was alot faster than the busa but its always forgotten when
infact id say it was the h2r of its day” obv minus supercharger” also great
video btw looks a monster for such a small track

Blahdeblah52 says:

Yea, I seen one in the ‘Flesh’

It’s OK, not that special though… :-)

The Rampant Rider says:

Don’t know why everyone’s moaning…its not all about topping the bike out,
we’ve seen that in every other video. Like someone’s said, it’s about
agility and how it handles various tracks.
I was there watching this and the H2 go round, it was good to compare to
two round the circuit (H2R absolutely thrashed the H2 obviously). But it
was great to see this onboard video as well as spectating it. 

Nero Santorino says:

The genius who decided on the asscam blows my mind

Ian Phillips says:

Bloody brilliant.

Jim Ferguson says:

Less of the riders backside would be nice

powersliding says:

horrid horid sound. other video fantastic sound on h2. elevate camera at
rear seat because all we see is a hind moving left to right

htothejay says:

Mcn actually makes crappy tv… This is definately proof

Thunder Child says:

Sounds like a fucking tie fighter!

jerichom11x says:

This bike is entirely pointless. Its too fat and it has too much power. Id
be surprised if it could even lap as fast as a s1k or a r1m

sphul50 says:

Jesus

Ian Phillips says:

Bloody brilliant 

Will Best says:

That thang is fast. The ass shot, tiresome.

MV Agusta says:

HAHAHA he was so scared of that thing…stayed in the same gear through
most of the track. that bike is way too fast for that track
