    See over on another forum taught it was worth a thread on its own, I actually had the pleasure of seeing and more importantly HEARING the H2R at the NEC this year and words could not describe how loud it was....after 10 mins of listening to it as I was walking around it was like I was still lying down beside it.

    I think the H2 (road version) is a stunning looking machine, exhaust could be tidier but hey no one will see it with the speed you be doing!

    Nice review of it here.....

    Poxy looking exhaust but people will junk that thing.

    I'm looking forward to some decent street reviews of the bike ~ I have to admit I didn't like that particular review, I thought the best part was the thumbnail wheelie.

    I can only image how that thing is gonna sound with proper pipes.

    In fairness all the new bikes are going with that type of exhaust and I agree they are manky.....but they sound good. I was on the zx1000sx in mccallans and same exhaust looked terrible but sounded really well. It would be the first thing Id get rid off any bike with one.

    Spend millions on the design of the full bike and skimp on the exhaust!!!!

    They have to be that large to get the noise level down to the stupidly low limits.

    Scrap the cap!

    Kawasaki seem to have manky exhausts as it's trademark. Aftermarket end can is a must.
