5 years later it still looks magnificent.
3 years after, still awesome
Do you like the tube frame too ?
Looks like any generic boring r bikes out there
John stfu Ray Charles.
@@jody024 Yes, and for you?
Brings in 300hp new technology packing bike. Jay "I really like this seat" lol
that seat is sexy
Breh, this is all I could think about as soon as he started talking about the h2r
Yeah he wouldn't shut up about the dumb seat.
Austin Evans
That's what happens when you get old.
No fun if you slide off, the seat is the real technological advancement here.
2022 and still looks and performs ahead of its time. Fastest production motorcycle still 7 years later! (I think)
I thought it was the Panigale v4 ?
@@chanhnguyen81 naturally aspirated, it is but flash the h2 it goes upto 350 hp
Kawasaki H2R is a finest japanese Dragon....
nope its the finest bike in the world.
@@jamargreen1209 yeah
Not street legal tho
No can't win in a real race but strong bike though
@@aldosmanuel1240 in a few years all those h2r engines are inside the H2
These new Kawasaki bikes are for those who don't fear death.
Noe R6 Kawasakis have always been the fastest bikes manufacturer
As a motorcyclist, let's be honest: in spite of brand, sophistication, size or power, there is no safe motorcycle in the wrong hands. Probably motorcycle riders should start qualifying for riding this sort of bikes, the way pilots qualify for flying certain kind of planes. I can't believe I'm saying this, but motorcycles are going way too far even for those with higher than average human skills.
MFP 2241 man this and the ZX14 are the only two machines I have rode that had enough power and yes they almost had to much. Believe it or not you get used to power and you always want more up until a certain point then that power becomes hard to control even for world class racers. And these aren’t that powerful I’m talking about funny cars and pro mods and such. I’m to the point where anything under a liter bike just feels slow even the 600’s.
Noe R6 haha me
Well you can die on 125cc 2-stroke as well, it can go really fast on public roads as well.
hey guys im 5 years old 4ft tall and my weight is about 55 pounds would this be a good first bike for me ?
you should start on a hayabusa and then work your way up, you don't want to rush it
+UMadBro? Nice
first bike a hayabusa? are you a moron? if you've ridden before think about how long it's been and what you use to ride, if its your first time RIDING you should, if you want a supersport, start at a 300-600cc bike once you spend about 1-2years on it you'll have developed the proper reflexes for an emergency situation, and then MAYBE go for this if you honestly feel it's within your skill level. don't be another statistic, ride smart, smart is smooth smooth is fast. also don't be a squid.
Jonathan Garzon guys, I think the joke flew right over his head.
haha
Lmao gotta love Jay. Always cold starting stuff and immediately revving the piss out of it.
This! I was expecting for him to wait for it to warm up (first time seeing his videos) and then he started to rev it!
@@lewissavaidis whit nylon covers on nahh
It nearly had oil pressure before he revved it at least.
Tach probably goes at least 5-8k beyond where Jay revved it. 14k redline and Jay says he was only hitting 2k. I'm not buying that but there's no way he went past 5-6k
That wasn’t “revving the piss out of it” by a long shot. Aside from the fact that newer engines with current technology don’t require much warmup time if any, don’t forget that this wasn’t the first take, so they had already been started previously (as well as before the first take), and finally, you know these are running full synthetic oil as well which means there’s already a film of oil on all the moving parts.
7 years later. Still the best bike of all time
That's no bike. That's an alien spacecraft. A beast of a bike, a monster motorcycle. Kawasaki is king!
funny you mention the word monster. my trellis frame was on display in the museum of fine art over a decade ago.
It actually is a motorbike.
Nothing compared to my new 1965 scooter.
Kawasaki is the trend setter...
Well put you’re exactly right way cool though.
That bike literally scares me on a personal level I couldn't imagine trying to full throttle on the last gear oh lord
Im more scared of the amount of torque in the lower gears.
You would be going 300+ probably
David Goldfeld It's to be respected.
I dare u to fullthrottle this baby and let go off the clutch in the 1st or 2nd gear 😂 U'll fly like an eagle
Same. If I won this bike on a lottery or something, I dont know if I'd have the balls to ride it.
Thank you Jay. I am & will always be be a motorcyclist enthusiast. It's great that you followed your passion in life & now share such amazing videos. Sadly for some of us, due to health challenges etc. Aren't able to buy or enjoy the beautiful collection that you have. So once again thanks for sharing these amazing videos! I certainly do enjoy it & share it with my friends.
I m sure that Japanese engineers made this bike with aliens 👽🤺💚🖤
Selcuk Yılmaz that’s true buddy 🛸
I have it on film🎥😅
Enjoy the bike life
No, Marc Marquez is a Honda guy.
AEA
Lol
That is undoubtedly the most amazing paint job I've ever seen on a bike. It's like black chrome!
love it!
they literally added SILVER metal to the paint!!
This is why I'm such a gigantic fan of Jay Leno. Not only is he a car man, he loves bike's as well. I'm actually a bike man and this H2 is one of the most amazing build's any Major Motorcycle Corp. has ever built. Love the TH-cam channel Jay!
Go Jay go!!!!😊
My third Kawasaki was an H2 750 bought in 1975 , Denco modified, triple expansion chambers.With wheely bars, it did low 9's in the quarter mile. Barely could stop with one single caliper disc up front. Everyone called me the wheely king, I loved it!
where did u grow up?
The kawasaki dude smiled like a proud daddy when jay started the H2R 11:12
Dear Santa......
Dear penthouse
Dear Satan
😂
@@osamabinladen824 that's more like it
Tomorrow 3 years later
I can see Jay adding a H2 to his stable, he had that look in his eyes right after startup. :)
Yes, he did. I saw that look too, when he put his leg up on the peg that look of ownership came across his face.
The mirror polish of these bikes is to remind me that I can’t afford them.
Amazing bike with a very original design, compact, all tecnology available, very nice painting...I love it.
It is nicer when you see it than un photo.
Thank you Jay!!!
That moment when you don't realize who you are talking to and try to tell jay Leno how a supercharger makes noise
Mackenzie Ashford I noticed that too, but jay suggested that it wasn't a centrifugal turbo in the beginning of the video... 😞
Mackenzie Ashford he's a PREMIUM idiot!
I had just assumed he was mentioning it for the sake of the viewers.
You assumed well
So it a supercharger or turbocharged?
I love the fact that Jay acknowledges the past, current, and future evolution of engineering without biased opinion just respect.
Saw one parked at a restaurant in Nashville last year. From a distance it looked like an R1 but once I approached it, I realized what it was. The paint is gorgeous in the sun. Really beautiful bike.
This Video is what sold me on getting one! Thankyou Mr Leno! Without this video i doubt i would have my 2016 H2. considering before this video and 650 Ib i had no idea about this bike!
I want that track version to be street legal 😳
The Ifitoe L y
How could they tell the difference and even if they knew you would be gone in a second.
+TSM swagmaster 9000 By the mirror you could clearly see its different, and H2R doesn't have any associations with any kind of exhaust if I'm not mistaken, H2R looks bigget, H2R uses a different velg, H2R sound is louder so definitely will be spotting that, H2R is mostly out of carbon fibre so can't miss that. I mean it looks like the same bike but if you actually see it in person it's very different.
Lucky Tyler even if tthey got caught they would just fuckin juice it
You can make it street legal. Look up the videos
If Satan and Darth Vader had a love child, and that love child decided to go on a wild killing spree, this is the motorcycle that he would choose to escape on.
Hahaha! Totally agree!
TheRabidgoalie so basically Kylo Ren killing all the Jedi kids
burburburbrubrurburburburburbrubrur
Straight from hell
But it would fly instead of having wheels
First bike I ever learned on was a blue Kawasaki 100 enduro. Lol. Grandad bought it. Looked like the one in that commercial except blue. Good first bike. now he's 79 and still rides a 2010 Suzuki 450 rmz with a recluse clutch. He likes it for trails. lol. Good man. Love ya Grandpa.
I had my 1st Kawasaki in a wonderful time: 1975 Z-1. This bike changed my young life. I was free and no one could catch me..lol. This bike was smooth, trouble free and so balanced that I could handle it even tho I was short- I could not plant both feet on the ground When I bought it. It never leaked a drop and maintace was easy. Here is the otherthing? I took this thing all over the North of America. It was a camping machine. All I added was a different seat , "Sissy Bar" for strapping gear onto and highway foot rests. It was a beautiful piece of engineering. OH Yes...It was scary fast and you could scrape knees cornering anytime if you felt the need.
Street version with the H2R GP exhaust and a fender eliminator, would be a constant orgasm on wheels, i'd be all up in that bikes gooty hole.
Baker! Yyeeeahh thats one fine bike 10/10 get it man!
Lol and you are here to. Motorcycle community is just eating this video up.
We're all up in that footy whole
I want that H2.
CHEAAHHH!!
That is the sexiest vehicle I have seen in my entire life. When he was unveiling it I thought... "Bit dramatic it's just a bike they all look similar", then that colour and gloss and those outlines and that green, I REALLY want one.
After all these years jay still got jokes an a sense of humor. You can tell how excited he is for these bikes. Rediculous amount of power for two wheels.
Gotta be the best sounding stock bike I've ever heard. Sure you can upgrade the exhaust on bikes from the factory but this is as is and it's amazing. Wish I could afford one lol
"buttockly challenged"
thanks for the new lingo, Jay
Just beautiful,, the workmanship is awe inspiring.
“The greatest thing about this bike is the seat” ITS 300HP!!! 😂
but youll never use 150 of that hp anyway and you will use all of the seat every day. it's this pragmatism that makes him rich lol
You see that smile on Jay’s face when Erving H2r? That engine scream is MONSTROUSLY Awesome!
If I were a young man I'd love to ride it but at my age it'd give me cardiac arrest!
walter..i think you should get one..and ride the hell out of it..u can doo it buddy !!!!!!!!
Never too old to ride, Sir!
get a new heart
buy me one, I'll ride you everywhere
after buying one you can just donate it to me ✌ jk
God, I hate PR guys. Just say things a human would say!
Jon MacArthur Agreed, agreed!
I'm a human.
+Jon MacArthur
PR guys are recruited for their inherent skill of being the ultimate bullshit artist. I think they graduate from Bullshit artistry school. I seriously doubt if they actually have any real friends, cos they can't be trusted..
+650ib 650ib spotting on a Leno video! :D
+Dr. Fang Bian Lol! Leno and I share the same passion and LOVE for the H2!
You can tell this guy REALLY loves his job. He can’t stop smiling 😂 and I would be doing the same too
one more item added to my " I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO BUY" list.
Even if you could afford the bike i don't think so its street legal in most countries.
Buy a hayabusa. A new one cost about the same as a economy car.
Ive always loved Kawasaki. they are legendary. kawi till i die.
panu kawasaki hd3 motor mo hahha
Since this video Kawasaki have announced the H2R puts out up to 326bhp!!!!!!
Yeah... that!
amazing!
aww bro, What a bike :D I will keep dreaming ha
love the sound of that turbo charge men giving chills
I had the pleasure In of owning a 1971 Kawasaki 350 A7SS Avenger. A twin cylinder, two stroke, 42 hp 5 speed and I believe it weighed 329 lbs.. It was a tough bike to keep the front wheel down and the back wheel straight. It had the reputation as having the heart of a "Samurai." Nothing beat it 0-80. The triples came out later and blew off everything everywhere. thanks Jay for good memories from school and beyond.
This just might be enough to draw me back into the bike game. Thanks for this very special unveil Jay. I love that you have the exact same taste as I do being a 25 year old motoring enthusiast from a small town in Arkansas. You are a true hardcore enthusiast! Thanks for sharing our passions!
I would pay anything to see Jay riding the H2R on the track !! 💥🏍 🤦🏻♂️
Oh shut up I am charging you 1 bill $ give me
Yeah because Jay like the seat so much.
oho Are You asking me for a Billion with a B or a Billion with a M ?? 🤔😂
@@junito1008 He is asking for one dollar bill.
I have been riding motorcycles for along time and I don't get scared . This bike rite here made me re think that . Statement oh my goodness what a proper beast of a motor cycle . You punch it and it feels like you got rear-ended by a rocket ship. Great job Jay .
Thanks for sharing Love Kawasaki
My first 2 bikes I bought were Kawasaki Amazing bike for road and track
Peace
Jay Leno rules! I love this guy and I don't know why lol
Thats a stunning bike. love the paintwork and fairing. sounds great too
in my opinion it's perfect right from the factory. maybe some after market race wheels or the rims power coated to match the frame and the bike is perfection.
The H2R sounded like some kind of prehistoric apex predator lol
Still no one can beat it! This is humanity's best motorcycle and be remembered forever.
I love that street version! The styling is understated and beautiful. Great forms. Love the functional winglets. The supercharger? Ace. Can't wait to see one in-person or better yet, ride one some day. Jay, can't wait to see you ride one when you purchase the street-going version. ;)
Looks way better than the new R1 if ye ask me.
R1 is nice tech but looks...hmmm
..said no one ever
I used to have a 1984 Kawasaki GPz 1100. The reason I bought it was because it was the quickest, fastest most powerful production motorcycle you could buy, at that time. I bought it in Germany, it was an English model so it was unrestricted and the speedometer was in MPH. A guy I worked with bought the 750 turbo. They had the exact same top speed. I did 150 mph every weekend to go see my girlfriend who lived 300 miles away. I passed Porches, BMW's, Mercedes Jaguar's and many other fast cars and a lot of other motorcycles. Loved it.
I bet she is alone hence of your driving.
Renzeth Bulawan Huh !!!
Ya know "Parents not home thingy.."
150mph every weekend is something to be ashamed of. You could have killed a family every time you did it. Keep it on the track!
Jason Cianfrani
Riding a motorcycle that fast doesn't increase your chances of killing a family. It's not like he was doing it through a shopping mall. 300 miles most likely means a lot of highway travel. Unless you're smashing into the back of minivans, you're not risking anyone's life but your own.
You know you're old when you look at a supercharged, 300hp motorcycle and go, "You know, this seat is the greatest thing ever."
They chose your place because you are the man
No,,,,,, THE MAN.
Great vid keep em coming
I love the sound of the race only bike.
Kawasaki has seriously knocked it out of the park on this one. Great job to whoever convinced the bean counters to allow them to design and actually build something this bonkers. Kudos too to Jay Leno for getting this beast in his clutches. So the mythical 300hp production bike lives!
The sound of that supercharger was incredible.
I really love the looks of both ninja, its just so beautiful ❤️🤘
6 years later H2 still most exciting motor you'll ever dream.
The dude is a sales man. Hiow many times did I wait to hear him say the preordained corporate sales script.
I've seen a few of them on this channel. They seriously need to relax and be car or bike guys and express their genuine enthusiasm for the product rather than worry about what head office thinks of their, "performance".
You know I'd be more on board if this guy said. "This beast red lines at 14K You should hear it scream at those numbers. It's like you've put it's hand on the hot plate of your stove. It know it's wrong but it's into that sort of thing, it wants more punishment and who are you to deny it's every increasing call for power . That would be selfish, smash that throttle hard Jay!
You must be a salesmen as well. Your suggestion would make him sound like a typical annoying salesman that will say whatever he thinks the customer wants to hear and over exaggerate everything.
Agreed whole heartedly. I mean look at the guys posture, his hands and fingertips meeting position all the goof balls that talk about a product do. I mean c'mon wtf? Where's the real excitement? Smh.
He kept talking about the "end user" .
They used to be called customers
Jay: why 1000 and not 14000? Guy: it's all about performance me: What?!
You sir just won the best internet responce for the decade.
I am dying over here, those bikes are crazy beautiful.
Love the cold revs thankful Jay is 12 on the inside
That was one hell of a Kawasaki commercial 🤘🏽
This is the Heaven of all bikes.
This video is now 4yr old but I still come rewatch it from time to time.....when Jay says "oh we have to get one of these" you just know it hahahaha
I love the bike how fast it could go but nothing can be compared to laid back attitude of classic old bikes.
I cried a little...
Fa Tee It's ok, I came a little
Ashton Hartley 😂😂😂
If that ad was on TH-cam
I would actually watch it
Jay sounded like Bob Vila from this old house! Love the show guys
Jay's knowledge is so vast. I'm sure he does heavy research on vehicles and bikes before recording but regardless its incredible. I love watching his videos and they've only gotten better over the years.
14:07 ... "We gotta get one of these"
"Why 1000 cc?"
"Bla bla bla saying random meaningless stuff not answering the question in anyway"
its a racing category
Difference between an engineer and marketing guy.
So funny to read this as I was listening to that and thinking the exact same thing :')
Wow, that’s freekin crazy cool!!!😎😎😎
I have my 1st street bike still. It’s a 1983 LTD 750, such a sweet bike. Took the carbs out for a cleaning a couple years ago and still haven’t put them back on yet. I should get her together and road ready this summer. Had a 97 Valkyrie std. I sold a few years ago. Miss that bike.
Love jays actual passion, big fan. and then you get these pen pushers try and explain what they're trying to sell. All words. He made it that far up the ladder but id be surprised if he knew where the clutch is
Man do I love old timey ads.
This kawasaki guy tries his best to explain stuff and before he finishes jay is like "oh and what is this thing?" Like an unpatient child😂😂
The guy presenting the bike was very well-mannered and professional. Did not say anything he shouldn’t have. Awesome job by him.
Hi! It's Daniel Almeida. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
I'm from Mumbai - Maharashtra - India. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
I love both the bikes. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
Both the H2 and the H2r will take you to a whole new level. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
The H2R is Turbocharged and has 300 horsepower. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
The H2 is Supercharged and has 300 horsepower. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
Both the bikes have 400 km top speed. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
Both the bikes are more faster than that of the Veyron. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
Both the bikes are fabulous and I love them both. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
I can't wait to purchase these bikes and then later onwards add both the H2 and the H2R to my collection. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
Both of these bikes are really as lightning fast. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
Both of these are marvelous and would really take you to a whole new level. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
I love both of these bikes and also the biker racing world is changing. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
That's all for now. I'll be seeing you around and say hello to your wife for me. 🧒🏻🇺🇲🇮🇳
6 years later I still heard it growl at me when they took the cover off.
0-60 in 4 seconds is crazy performance for such a low price. This is a sweet bike.
Yes and a Vmax is still 0-60 in 2.4
The H2 does 0-60 in 2.6 seconds
Cory Couch and the Tesla Model S Raven is 2.3 seconds. Missing your point.
A h2r is only track legal and is 55k. The street legal h2 is about 30k-40k
What an incredible motorcycle, congratulations you guys
I could get to work in 30 sec. AWESOME!
Let jay ride it !
it's so beautiful😢💔
Jay, you are such humble person even being what you are in terms of everything. No wonder that you have millions of admirers all lover the United States and the rest of the world!
I remember when I was in awe over a car that had 300 HP. Now they're putting that in a bike! INSANITY.
The Mercedes glb amg has 6 more horsepower than this superbike!!
lol I can't even handle 120hp on a CBR600 and I can't imagine how crazy this would be...
Colby Steele trash
xxGoesCrazyx X You play Fortnite and the crew 2 and post it on TH-cam. I doubt you ride anything bigger 😂
Yikes. Time to grow upp
@@cwkd2160 Haha nice job catching the poser!
I can't handle 40 horses on my rc 390 , let alone a cbr 600
I still watch this video. Goals!
7 years later still look magnificent & so the performance
Man he had me freaking out over putting his hands all over the gas tank. Never seen anyone finger bang a bike like that
Its a bike. You dont own.. why do you care?
Yeah almost felt like he violated the bike, my brain screamed “WTF!!” as if the bike was a woman...STRANGE!!
@@famousbowl9926 You're obviously not a biker.
Only Jay could pull off this reveal.
Absolutely stunning bikes..
The best bike since 2015 up to now a legend and the living one.
It's funny how this guy doesn't answer any questions at all
Jay: "why did kawasaki choose the 1000cc rather than the 1400?"
The guy "Kawasaki designed the bike to produce the fastest and fun experience"
+Shieldy Meister You must have missed the part where he said they wanted to based it on the sport bike class - 1000cc. It's a sport bike that can put the hyper bikes - 1400cc to sleep, that was the idea. Did we watch the same video?
+Shieldy Meister even so the 1000 is to much already, the poor bike simply does not cool any special way, it's a sport bike on steroids with a super charger and not enough cooling application. to run it on the street and expect to outperform anything even with 1400 cc is going to be difficult because once it runs hot all that performance drops. everywhere I have seen these bikes at all bike shows they are either the H2R and not street legal, or they are the H2 and are nothing more then a show bike.
paul enzor ....
@@CyrusTVirus How you feel about the H2 now?
That part bugged me too; but what bothered me is that jay interrupted him before he finished.
opening video
🤣🤣🤣👏👍
😂😂😂
I'm a forever die hard Gixxer Guy since the way back days of 92. Still ride at 48 and have 4 in my stable. But this creature is something different. Just pure beauty on 2 tires.
Hi from Mexico. Thanks for this on the Ninja H2. I was wondering what one looked like, and to get more info. We did a short recently on a high speed (illegal) motorcycle street race in Europe, done with machines like the Ninja..😊 Jay, this is the first video i've watched from your channel. Insightful, relaxing, informative...thanks!!
Sold. Jay's gonna buy one - watch. . .
