150 are being built, at a base price of US$38,800
Well, that's one interpretation of "Production".

What a crock of smelly waste type stuff!
"70% more than the best" 168ftlb?
Where did that MUPPET go to school?
My ZX14 makes 132ftlb as standard so it isn't even 25% more ffs!

Slower than [b][i][u]A[/b][/i][/u] car. A car you'll never see being used. Not slower than all the other cars, the ones people actually use. 😛 😀

A friend rode the H2R recently. He liked it very much which is no small praise as he's a motorcycle journo. I think he owns a magazine now.

At a 150 being made I'm not likely to see one of those bikes either.

Pushing it to even be considered a "Homologation" special as others have done in WSB, etc.

Hammy, JH is one of the nicest people you could meet. I've known him a long time now, not seen him for ages though. His dad is somewhat of a legend in some circles too!

Fastest?

I'd race it from London to Nice on my 40 yr old 250, and beat it.

Then ride somewhere else so you don't get "annoyed"

Wrecker - given up counting how long I've known that plonker!
Seems like too long sometimes 😀
Funnily enough had a long chat with him the other day about some really interesting stuff that'll be seeing the light of day soon 😉
