Yeah, I'm not convinced that it wasn't done on purpose, he more or less admits as much. Bike aerodynamics are such that even lifting your head a bit can be enough to make the front end light. I had an old (1980's) Honda xr500 and that would wheelie at 140km/h, mostly due to the big, high and wide front mudguard.
tbf, I was amazed how lean the H2R secretly is and how well it went through corners (some old dude at the motorshop said I could drive it a short while and he followed me on my vfr800). and with old dude I mean really old, he's 75 and still drives the H2R almost daily
We all knew that Chris leaves VERY big boots to fill but both these lads very much knew how to "send it" and gave that crazy 1600hp beast a solid run for it's money. Bob was also super easy going during the chat and very humble, bearing in mind he's clearly got skills. Great job lads. Happy Christmas everyone!!!
skilled? the ducati rider done 10.4 sec on a bike that has been clocked at 9.6sec repeatedly.

Props to both riders for sending it in damp/wet conditions! Gnarly stuff. The Ducati can run a 9.3 sec 1/4 mile in dry conditions with a top rider, which would have made this race very close!

Having owned both fast cars and fast bikes I have to say that whilst driving a fast car on public roads is satisfying and gives a sense of occasion, the amount of traffic on UK roads ultimately means it's really no different to driving a daily runabout. A bike, on the other hand, is always fun, as traffic is less consequential to a biker.
@@ReaLzEdits yeah definately, it's just physically impossible to lay down nearly 300bhp without extending the wheelbase, kawasaki didn't do it cus they also wanted it to handle round a track but if just drag racing then it doesn't matter 😂

My Ducati Multistrada 1200 makes "only" 150hp and is a relatively portly 500 lbs and I have never thought "it needs more power." I've pinned the throttle on 600s banging clutchless upshifts at lots of track days, and pinning the throttle in 1st gear with traction control on the Multi is still something my body doesn't really want to do.

Excellent drag race. Beautiful bikes and car. immense power. Love seeing the respect that Mat has for sport riders. Also, that double barrel under-tail exhaust on Pani SP2, gorgeous.

Easy stuff like...... ECU Flash that H2R and remove restrictions. Strap the front end down, makes a massive difference to launch harder and reduces a significant amount of air drag at speed. Do a brief burnout before launching to bring the rubber friction up for better traction. A set of lowering links for the rear shock settles the whole thing down and makes power transfer much more efficiently. Those are all low cost fiddling. Higher cost would be a set of carbon fiber wheels to reduce rolling drag and inertia, also improves suspension and traction. Toss on a set of sticky road-legal drag tires, to match the Bugatti's rubber performance, at least.
Bugatti is going to have an advantage near the finish line because even modern sport bike aerodynamics is average compared to a car built for speed. There might be a sweet spot in the length of coarse that the H2 catches up, but too long and it will have all its power soaked up by air resistance. The ease and comfort in which the Bugatti holds its own is the remarkable thing.

Yep, he was having fun on the Himalayan!
Without wheelies it wouldn't have been a stock bike.
@@aluisiousYes it would. Somehow James Hillier was blasting that beast over the Isle of Man and he managed to not wheelie it EVERY straight like in this video.
It's funny how the big bikes always wheelie like crazy in Matt's videos but there are tons of videos from amateurs on TH-cam who launch these things thousand times better without wheeling up to 300kph
Awesome video, you should invite Chris Moore to do these 1/4 mile runs.
Cracker one fellas, Bob did a great job standing in. Matt is great to have in the drag races as always!
Should invite Chris Moore from Moore mafia to race against his twin turbo GIXXER next!
These races happens in U.k . He doesn't come to u.k for racing even if he get invited.
Twin turbo gsxr is not needed here. Hyperbusa OG is enough.
You would be wasting Chris’s time. His bike will quarter mile in 6.5sec at 218mph
30-40k superbikes keeping up and even beating 2 million hypercars is most impressive.
The most amazing part of this was how close the Ducati was. I honestly expected it to be mullered....
I might be wrong but on a race course the Ducati would probably win.
Would like to see a "normal" bike against some fast cars, like an mt09 or r6 or something
SV650 normal enough for you? Bike World ran one against a few fairly quick cars.
Edit: found it...

You know it's too powerful when it's doing wheelies in 150mph
When 50 k beats 4 mil 🤣
when did 50k beat 4 million 💀
Imagine h2r vs buggati on a 1 mile rolling race
I would like to see the Ducati Superleggera V4 there,---But to be fair, Ducati becoming the Porsche 911 of bikes, tgere so many variations of the same model that is hard to keep a track of them.... :D
"I got new boots" really? lol
Have you never put on a new pair of superstiff boots where you can barely bend your ankle?
It sounds like a cop out but it can be very real, especially race boots
Buggati Chiron SS 🔥☠️🗿🦁
The longer the track the more the car wins
Geezus that Bugatti and that H2 are fast.... Wow.
Ollie. Are you sure that's your bike? Getting off the line appears to be a new experience
Thumbs up before watching 😀👍
Carwow you can't hear the Kawasaki H2R supercharger sound but bike world got it right ❤❤ the h2r is very very GREAT
I love to see cars beating bikes and not just ordinary bikes. Plus no electric motors involved. Sublime
Can’t believe the Chiron only just does a 9s 1/4m with 1600hp, 4x4 and amazing aero
Thats a great time lol 😂
It’s very heavy
@@soulsweeper1630 I didn’t realise it was nearly 2000kg, that makes sense now. 800hp/t doing a 9s 1/4m sounds much more like it
Good job on this content! i own fast bikes and live in the isle of man, seen a fair few beasts here but james hillier did a parade lap on an H2R terryfying to see the sound was insane, hats off Bob that takes some doing, and the cati isn't a slouch! bring my Veyron back please Matt 🤣 cracking content 🙌🏼
Definitely do a half mile drag race
Shows actually how fast the bikes are because the Bugatti is insane !
Knowing how powerful the veyron is , both of those bikes are very quick , good race .
Riding that KAW is like riding the SPACE shuttle 😮
Wheres the other guy on the Ducati at the end.. Has he been disgraced?
The braking is impressive. Anyone who rides knows that 2 wheel braking takes some distance for sure.
The sound of the H2R never gets old!
Вообще не понимаю как можно устраивать гонки мотоцикла и Машины, так как мотоцикл не может на полную мощность использовать свою мощь из за того что он опрокинется если дать ему газу на полную мощность, а машине такое не грозит и он использует всю свою мощность без боязни ЧП
Kawa incredible again. What a beast, what a freaking legend! ❤
Colocaram a Ducati nesse teste pra quê?
Half mile standing launch. Decently. Should be AWSOME. Especially on the bike he’s building.
We have to give props to the Ducati.. Considerably less power than the Kawasaki and the Ducati still did an admirable job!! That Kawasaki is one bad ass bike though.. And the Bugatti, just about as bad ass as it comes.. Either way, this was a GREAT VIDEO !!!! Well done Guys!!!!! 😊
Will a extended swingarm make any difference on the H2R ?
