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.
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.
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.... 🤔
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!!!!
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.
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!
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
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
It always seems like magic to me when all these bikers take these very sharp turns and their knee almost touches the ground. It just amazes me how much talent these people have.
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
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...
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.
Big kudos to Kawasaki for this, if there wasn't people there to push the boundaries further and further in terms of technology and experimentation, we would all be sitting in horse drawn carriages and riding bone shaker bicycles, It is like they are modern day pioneers, along with the others with all the other technologies. I'd love to have a go on this but on very very straight road and also very very long... :) hehe The guys reaction at 5:37 says it all, good work fella
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.
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.
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.
H2R = perfect beginner bike
Perfect to rip
The R stands for Ready for beginners
Yeah beginner and where you go to after that? A moped?
LOL
@@superkamiguru7985 R stands for "Rest In Pieces, beginners"

Haa
That bikes sharp and pretty tho
Hahaha!
Who said this bike ain't pretty, Its gorgeous in my eyes
Very Gorgeous...
Who said?
would choose this beauty over any bike......its one hell of a beauty
@water melon when did carbon fibre ever looked cheap...?
@@prof_jesus nailed it.
was expecting this guy to be slow but never judge a man by the color of his beard
yupp..
Colour of his beard😂😂😂

No.This bikes is not for circuit race unlike to Sportsbike or motoGP bikes. H2r is better to dragrace or to straight line.
, 🤣😂
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
i think he has been a proffesional rider back when he was lighter :-)
Good or not, he's fat and that's not ideal for racing
Want to see someone ride this bike, check Michael Rutter
@@razorfleshlight1100 off course not, and he is no longer a racer he's a jurnalist ;-)
Throw a squid on it, they wouldn't make a lap at the pace he did. Everyone's a badass until a badass shows up.
1:14 who the f says its ugly, its the most beautiful thing ive seen
you must be young or drunk, or both
Fredo i am 38 years old and i am not drunk
It is ugly .. Looks too alien-like for a bike. looks bad in my view.
dankish Dank well still u cant affors it
dankish Dank affors*
*When he said Good night in a broad daylight, you know that H2R really made a difference.* 😅
Precisely 😂😅
the video is posted in summer (July). in northern lattitudes, sun doesnt set till quite late. Where I live, sun sets at 11 pm
Ordered one for my daughter’s sweet 16th! She’ll love it, perfect starter bike for my baby girl 🙏
Yeah right
Is she alive ?
Othered a box for her funural too?
You might wanna mind for a coffin too for your daughter's funeral
I guess you figured out it's cheaper than paying for university, didn't you?
People who say its ugly, simply don't love motorcycles.
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.

its pretty simple dude.. coz their all cant afford it
@@AniManiac360 *_but some will do afford it!_*
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder eh?
God I died when you said "I'm still trying to figure out if I'll die at half throttle!" lol
Onedayilbeok 😂😂
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.
To me the H2 and the H2R is a work of art, gorgeous looking machine. Everything thing about it is perfection. Wish I had enough money to buy one.
what's the difference between the h2r and a motogp bike? Is a motogp bike as fast?
@@ililxaphanlili2600 a Motogp bike is essentially stripped to be lighter and a few other modifications. Other thqn thay it’s around the same
Kawasaki How2Ride i like making things up
U can Get 1 in GTA 5 using mod
90% of the comments are saying “don’t call him fat” etc... but where are the actual comments calling him fat?
🤣🤣 true
Because we all want hero
Right here.
Lol
On other videos
Normal People: Nah, fat guy can't ride a superbike, let alone a hyperbike.
This Guy: *HOLD MY BEER*
More like "hold my belly"
It's not a bicycle. It has an engine. If he reviewed bicycles, I would be lmao.
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.... 🤔
he's not fat, but ok
He was trusted enough to ride it on a track. I'd bet money he can ride it a hell of a lot better than you could.
That dude was riding very well
Didn't expect this 'Thor Bod dude' to cut corners so clean!
I'm impressed!
He's a pro (retired)
Even my grandma would have gone full throttle on that
Lol, my blind granny does wheelie on this at full throttle
Heh..i can stand on that bike in 300km...get out greenhorns:)
she could have but would have fall right away
You don't like her that much ...... ?
Then why u just crush on ur bicycle?🤣
I SALUTE THIS GUY .

The music is the bike - that horrible shit playing underneath it is a bad idea. Except for that great vid.
Im 6'5" and 280 lbs and i enjoy my R1.
Did you even read what you wrote before you pushed send?
I salute this guy and you too James Timothy Aboa. Well said sir.

It's not mental, it's LEGENDARY... THE NINJA H2R
I didn't even know some people call this beast ugly until you mentioned....this is by far the most intimidating beast ive ever seen.
I cryed a bit when they said the H2R isn't street legal
Lathan Larsen don't, doesn't seem like it will be very affordable. 850k thingies sounds like a lot
Rajiv Patki yeah what the fuck is the money hes talking about
burntrubberballs its Japanese money and i believe 1 us =105 yen
Rajiv Patki its 55k usdollar
If you cried it would be worse.
Dayum big dude can ride 🤘😝
mental
No doubt fucking pro
well, step 1 never judge a book by it's cover
You think they'd let a noob ride this bike?
He’s won a few races in our national series :)
7 years later still no other manufacturer has had the balls to compete against this monster!
the refrence is wrong u said it is the lamborghini of motorcycle no its the Koenigsegg of motorcycle the best of the best !!!
H2r 400 kmh bro.. Nmbr 1 superbike in the world..
@Drew Kangaroo people who cant buy it, says like that
@Drew Kangaroo Please do explain!
Not really Koenigsegg makes limited cars this is a real production bike from the big 4. Imagine a Nissan hypercar that can hit 407 kmh.
I’ll take the Gordon Murray T.50 over the Koenigsegg 😀
It seems like anyone who rides this thing get the terror giggles.
I noticed they all tend to come out shaking too
I mean is there any other possible reaction to a bike this nuts? XD
Well thats Adrenaline... Rushing into his system
And oxytocin and dopamine.
Gael
When one of the H2r winglets cost twice more than my bike😂 it's official my learner bike has lost all forms of its dignity
Maannn I can feel the adrenaline front this side of the screen

Awesome driving skills sir. I thought it easnt you driving the bike. The way you handle the BEAST and those corners
He is perfect rider for this review ! The other 2 journalists just not brave as he is . Don't judge the book cover before you read it . Bad karma

“You’ve just got to hold on for dear life!” Sums it up perfectly lol
He is a good rider👍
Wow what a machine! Would love love to try one.
That excitement and happiness in his voice♥️
"I chickened out... I'll try again". Good attitude.
That is one beautiful bike, and yes, Kawasaki are the Kings of Mental.
I wouldn't even get on the thing after hearing those numbers.
I definitely would.
It always seems like magic to me when all these bikers take these very sharp turns and their knee almost touches the ground. It just amazes me how much talent these people have.
Love that reaction when the wheel pops up 👍🏼. I laugh all the time when riding my Tuono. That’s enough power for me ✌🏼
A very impressive, honest and inciteful review.

"Crotch rocket"...haha, liked that description of this monster.
Man, the skills on this guy are amazing! Good job!
He did a great job riding that bike and handled it well around that track...I LIKE!!!
I love this man , he truly sees the true beauty that originated from making a vehicle more aerodynamic. It’s a unique look that no other bike has.
I would so love to see H2R vs MotoGP bike, two pro riders exchanging the bikes.
tyczekp you're speaking of a $50,000 production bike vs a $1,000,000+ prototype
😐
That's exactly why I would like to see it? MotoGP bike is not a prototype btw.
tyczekp do you know the difference between a production bike and a prototype? Lol
Sure, and there is huge difference between racing machine and a prototype.
tyczekp idk why you're arguing that lol..but ok..you're still ignorant for thinking a production motorcycle can compete with a motogp bike lol
he drives very good with his posture!!
Awesome review man, loved this!
Great review!
Not pretty? This design is years ahead the actual ones!!!!
Rodrigo Buzetti true
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.
Rodrigo Buzetti jealousy at it’s finest bro for those that can’t accept how beautiful this beast are.
Pictures do the H2R no justice. Its even more gorgeous in person. Amatures need not apply.
Dude full respect for ur riding skills
Nice riding! Takes a few good laps to get adjusted. The H2 is a beast
People saying he is fat but, fuck, im fat too and i have more riding skills than all my friends like this guy!
That's right. Beeing heavy has nothing to do with riding skills, but it really cuts down the power to weight ratio and eats up a lot of torque.
If u were equal in skill. Your fat azz would be left behind.
You also have more chance of diabetes/heart/attack stroke.
@@hughjaanus6680 shut up please most fat people don't die
The people who die they eat a lot of oily and sweet things
"Progressive terror"
Brilliant, Donovan's best line ever
H2R is a ballistic missile between two legs. It takes balls of steel to ride one and live to tell the tale. Good job man.
I have a whole new respect for this bike now! Beast
No.me canso de mirar este video , es increíble la adrenalina del piloto.
Love that “Ninja” logo from the 90s.
Great video bro I mean that bike sounds like a beast 👍🏾👍🏾
The sound of ninja is so relaxing
