Kawasaki's newest Ninja H2 video, released yesterday morning, hints at some very bold claims.

As originally mentioned in a thread a long time ago, I decided to modify my '11 Kawasaki Ninja 1000. Beginning in the late fall of 2013 and continuing through spring of 2014 I replaced/modified/enhanced quite a bit :-). This was a terrific project that I had a lot of fun doing and I thought it might be fun to do a thread that lays out all of the modifications that were done, why they were done, what the end result was, and include some pictures. To start with here is the current measured performance and the list of major parts and modifications that were done. Performance- -HP (at the wheel): 147HP @ 11,500RPM; +100HP from 6,300RPM to cutoff -Torque: 85.5lb-ft @ 7,900RPM; +74lb-ft from 4,300RPM to 10,200RPM -Top Speed: redline limited, hits the limiter at GPS indicated 161MPH (on track) -0-60MPH: kind of a worthless stat on a litre bike as controlling wheelies and wheelspin artificially constrains performance at a hard launch (it'll still do it in less than 2.5 secs). 60-80MPH roll-on (passing speeds) is probably a better real-world metric...top gear 60-80 <2.5 secs. -Economy: believe it or not, it's better. I have the fueling mapped to have a leaner cruise when at low RPM and small throttle openings. On a recent trip I had no problem getting 45MPG or more cruising at 75-80MPH; on the track it's not as good :-). Modifications- Suspension: -(rear) Ohlins adjustable shock with remote, Ohlins track spring, custom valved and sprung to spec -(front) Traxxion Dynamics AK-20 Cartridges, Omni springs, custom valving, TD compression and rebound adjusters, pre-set sag, sprung to spec, Maxima Racing Fork Oil Brakes: -(rear) EBC HH pads, custom HEL stainless lines -(front) ZX10R master cylinder, Vesrah pads, custom Hel stainless lines, racing fluid Exhaust: -Akrapovic titanium 4-2-1 full system Engine: -PowerCommander V with Autotune module -Ivans Performance ECU, custom ecu load, Ivans airbox modification -Fuel Cutoff Eliminator and Servo Eliminator Driveline: -Barnett Kevlar Clutch plates, HD springs -RK 525 GXW Series Heavy Duty X'ring Chain -Sunstar 41T rear sprocket, 16T front sprocket Tires: -Bridgestone S20 Evo Hypersport -Dunlop RoadSmart2 Misc: -Lots and lots of little things from fluids to fasteners to nuts and bolts, tail tidy, LED lights, etc.
