See the H2R in action at Sydney Motorsport Park!
The all-new 300hp supercharged superbike will cut some demonstration laps on Sunday, November 23In a treat for Aussie motorcycle enthusiasts, Kawasaki is rolling out its H2R supercharged superbike at Sydney Motorsport Park this Sunday, November 23 during the final round of the 2014 Swann Insurance Australasian Superbike Championship.
Murray Sayle, a former Team Kawasaki racer in the 1970s, will cut some demonstration laps on the track-only H2R, which was unveiled at the Cologne show in October followed by the H2 street version in Milan earlier this month. Both bikes will go on sale in Australia early next year.

Sayle’s a logical choice to pilot the H2R as well: it’s been 40 years since her raced the original H2R in 1974!
"I remember when I first rode the H2R at Lakeside in Queensland in 1974. It was fitted with treaded tyres and it was wheel spinning in a straight line and would jump forward when the throttle was closed as the rear tyre regained grip,” said Sayle. “It was certainly a challenging ride but damn was it was fast.
“To now have the opportunity to ride this amazing new 2015 model Ninja H2R.....with a supercharger, for the first time in Australia is a real honour.
The many facets of Kawasaki Heavy Industries engineering and development that have gone into this model is nothing short of amazing and I can't wait for the chance to ride it.”
