Mechanically, the street-legal H2 doesn’t differ greatly from its ridiculously powerful track-only sibling, although Kawasaki hints at much lower power output – in the region of 150kW. This may seem disappointing but it might well be that Team Green deliberately understates the power for political reasons (much like the gentlemen’s agreement not to admit to superbike top speeds over 300km/h).
