Internet Blasts Gaping Hole in 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Secrecy - Massive Dump of Photos Leaked Online
[IMG width="1024" height="640"]/misc/2015/h2ninja/2015-H2-4.jpg[/img]
After months of poking the Internet with bits and pieces of Marketing related to its 2015 Flagship model, the Ninja H2 - The Internet finally bit back with a massive data dump of photographs, well before the launch of the product at Intermot, in Koln, Germany. The photos began making their rounds through various forums, eventually circumnavigating the tightly controlled sphere of censorship Kawasaki has tried to enforce through its ties with Verticalscope and their now all encompassing list of enthusiast sites.

Technically I dig it. But the looks not so much. Maybe if I can be convinced that half that stuff actually DOES something. The spaceframe is cool.... lot of trick parts, love the "dash" and the steering damper. It's just all those WINGS and stuff..... It's so "Origami". Wait, maybe I do like it....

Kawasaki hit the nail on the head when they said built beyond belief. I'm looking at it saying those exact words... can't believe the frame, can't believe the swingarm, can't believe the body panels, et

One of 500? How limited is this run? Just a homologation ploy?

Homologate it for what? Where? There's no sanctioning body on this planet with a class this fits in... I love the fact that Kawasaki made it road race orientated. Maybe it will discurrage those that slam, stretch, AND RUIN a good motorcycle that's designed to carve corners...Making this bike into a 1mile at a time trailer queen would be a sin

I suspect seeing this in person is going to be VERY different than the pics. For one thing, the amount of shine coming off those uber-polished panels in the studio hide the shape of the thing a bit. Suspect and hope that it looks better in person.

Also, I'm still excited to see the official release with better photo quality, and more importantly the features list & specs.
