It's incredible that we could engineer this so early in the history of motorcycling. Yet we havnt seen many supercharged motorcycles in production today. I've ridden the Kawasaki H2 in its stock trim as well as with upgraded parts and it was the craziest thing I've experienced in over 16 years of motorcycling.

If you lived in the early 19th century this motorcycle would've been as crazy as it gets. Only ridden by the madmen of these years. This was raced at the IOMTT and it won! Those were days indeed!

Wow what a bike! So crazy, I didn’t even know they put superchargers on bikes or cars back then, I assumed they were a more recent invention.

Wait, you’ve ridden a H2? No way....? I’ve literally just been watching more and more videos of the h2, I’m obsessed with it, well, mainly the h2r but the h2 is a beast! I would instantly change the exhaust as it looks massive, but man, what was it like? I don’t think I could be anymore jealous....

I’ve ridden 1000cc 150bhp bikes but never experienced anything new and over 200bhp... especially something mental like the h2! It must have been incredible! Was it much faster than a 1000cc sportsbike? Haha I have so many questions I love that bike
