Possibly a replacement for the Z1000SX?

As far as I'm aware it's for the new ZZR 1400.. I'd imagine you'll be looking at 250bhp and 220mph seing as suzuki are turbo'ing their hyabusa

Just what we need. A top speed / power race between the Busa and kwack again (rock) bring it on I say, awesome (y)

Fook the dolpin bumming, tree hugging greenies (devil) the only greenies I like are 1.4 litre forced induction Kawasaki's.

Who needs breathable air anyway (blush)

All the rumours are that it's a grand tourer version of the H2 - so nice, comfy lower seat, higher bars, mounting brackets for panniers etc.

I guess we'll find out soon enough.

I don't imagine they'll be using the H2 name though.. of old it's always been their masterpieces with the H names. The 750 triple 2-stroke was a beast!

It may not be named the ZZR1400 but it will be that bike in essence

I guess I'll order one soon enough.
Now reads correct (happy)

Well it shouldn't be the R2 as that's supposed to be an 800cc Supercharged bike. I believe they have 3 patents for different engine sizes so far

At least you can easily justify a wage rise to your boss.

Why do think Blade is selling just a front Pirelli atm since getting the 1299....
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...

Looks like it's the Z1000SX with a supercharger on it.

A H2 with Panniers and a belly pan? I guess they've fixed some heat issues then - presumably turning boost down?

**Note, I am not able to access the link at work so am unsure of actual details
