It does looks loads better in that video.

Can't wait to hear Kwacky bouncing his Ninja H2R off the rev limiter in a Welsh petrol station next year. :D

Did you hear the racebike version on that video at 11.00?

He hasn't.

Kawasaki America used his garage to preview the bike. I notice the PR guy said the H2R will be made to order.

Jay Leno calls it black chrome in that video. Whatever that means. Looks like a mirror-finish in those photos.
