| The Turbanator is going! |
Recent, the Kawasaki H2 has just been unveiled by the Kawasaki. In about a week's time from this writing, they will again make an explosive unveiling of the fastest, mightiest and most intimidating Ninja of them all. On May 16, 2015, the Kawasaki H2R will be unveiled in Kawasaki Leisure Bikes in Nueva Ecija.
 |
| The street-legal Kawasaki H2 was officially launched in the IR BikeFest 9 |
The bike boasts of 300 horsepower, which has 50% more power than its closest competitor, the mythical Suzuki Hayabusa.
As per the grapevine, there are only a few select riders here in the country who are qualified to handle the H2R in terms of test riding it. It only shows that the Ninja is one badass machine and the wild power it gives the rider is beyond comprehension. It could easily exceed 320kmh when it comes to speed. Do you even comprehend what 320kmh feels like? I ain't even gotten to a 220 kmh! Fastest I got so far was a little more than 200kmh with the Ducati Multistrada!
As I heard, we, the Philippines are privileged to have this kind of bike here. It shows that the Philipine market is ready for the emergence of all the fast bikes it could import and sell.
The TurbanRider is certainly looking forward to even just touch the Ninja.

Awesome!
May 16 would be another historic day for the motorcycle industry and community as the fastest and most powerful bike in the world was unveiled. It's the first H2R in the Philippines, and the first in Asia. Ain't we in luck!
I traveled for more than 3 hours to be able to witness the mythical motorcycle. The travel took me to the tricycle capital of the Philippines, Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija. It was a hot and lengthy travel, but it was more than worth it. I got to see firsthand the supercharged bike.
"Supercharged is different from Turbocharged" - Explained Mr. Miguel Bichara of C! Magazine. While a turbocharged is, well, ok, a supercharged bike is wow! It uses the air intake to produce more horsepower.
Mr. Dashi Watanabe of Kawasaki Racing Team and Mr. Miguel Bichara are just two of the lucky riders who will be able to sample the awesome power of the H2R at the Clark International Speedway.
 |
| Early birds. Not only was the event the unveiling of the event, it was also the official opening of the Kawasaki Leisure Bike Nueva Ecija |
 |
| I guess I'm a little early. |
 |
| The place is perfect! A lot of bike can be accommodated here in the newest Wheeltek showroom |

 |
| Dr. Rene Odulio, the patriarch of the Wheeltek family gives the opening remarks, and with the question: "would you accept me in your motorcycle club?" addressed to the riders, to which in unison they said "YES!" |
 |
| Mr. Jin Inoue, the President of Kawasaki Motor Philippines Inc also addressed the riders and gave a detailed speech about the awesomeness of the H2R\ |

 |
| There I am touching it! |
 |
| See the logo at the backgroud just up above the gas tank? It means that the H2R wasn't just produced by the motorcycle production line of the plant, but by the Kawasaki Heavy Industries. The aerodynamics design of the H2R owes it to the years of experience from making spacecrafts! |
 |
| A little longer wings and this thing would fly! But the design forces the bike down to keep it aground. |
 |
| Will I be able to test this on the tracks? In my dreams. Pfft. |
 |
| Technological anvances? The H2R got you covered. |
 |
| The Turbanator meets Mr. Robin Padilla. I'm almost so sure my mother would say that I'm better looking than him. Almost so sure. |
