Re: Kawasaki H2 roadbike
This article says $25,000, which is £15,800. But it's rare for the UK prices to be the same as US prices.

This one says it's €25,000

And here is NZ $35,000 = £17,500

I guess we'll know soon enough. Either way I can't afford one.

Re: Kawasaki H2 roadbike
The USA price for the R1-M was quoted as $22,000 i think. There is no way it will be that cheap in the UK, sadly.

Re: Kawasaki H2 roadbike
£22,000 and £41,000

KAWASAKI’S supercharged Ninja H2 will go on sale in the UK from March 2015 for £22,000, the firm has just confirmed.
The track-only version, the Ninja H2R, will be £41,000 and makes even more power than expected, at up to 325hp.
When Kawasaki revealed the H2R at the Intermot Cologne motorcycle show in September, the firm said only that it made ‘roughly’ 300hp.
This morning Kawasaki confirmed the exact figure as 310hp rising to 325hp at speed thanks to the effect of ram-air.
The road-legal Ninja H2, revealed at the Eicma Milan show last week, makes 200hp rising to 210hp with ram-air.

I believe the rumour is £16000 for the base model and £25000 for the higher spec.duke63 wrote:The USA price for the R1-M was quoted as $22,000 i think. There is no way it will be that cheap in the UK, sadly.
Personally I think the manufacturers start these rumours to gauge public opinion to see what they can get away with.

Re: Kawasaki H2 roadbike
Sounds like it may be worth scraping enough cash together and buying three or four H2 road bikes and shipping them over from the USA. The prices we are asked to pay compared to some other countries are really not on.

Re: Kawasaki H2 roadbike
Is guess so but it's just galling when we get screwed over on the price of things.

Re: Kawasaki H2 roadbike
I'm not sure how USA pricing works. Don't they have different taxes in each state to add onto the purchase price?
