Saturday, after taking the boys to the movies, I stopped in to Performance Cycle (they were having a 15%-off everything sale)
Got an up-close look at this supercharged beast.

Wooooow!
Had an opportunity for a test ride (Bikedealer is a freind of mine).
120 km: Impressive performance, fast as hell, good suspension. Not quite a bike for beginners, needs quite some self-control.
Still ugly as a piece of ..., from the first view on it I called it Godzilla. Bikes wits wing-spoilers - thanks, NO, thanks.
The RSV4 Factory and the 1299 Panigale are better; just more... rideable
Just my 2 cents
Yeah, What a waste. My nephew work's there. The guy is never going to ride it. Says it's never coming out of the crate..

Wow you got ride an R or was it a detuned street version. If it was an R your one of a very few. I'm envious.
I was hoping this was the one that ran at the Colorado Mile - nope, it's still a coffee table...
But it looks like Brock has got a nice bolt on package for the "plain" H2...274 HP on the dyno, 219 mph in a mile! (the H2R best in the mile so far is 218)
Impressive - especially for an off-the-shelf, bolt-on bike
also makes you wonder...if you went to total loss electrics on the FJ could you use the alternator drive to turn one of these rotrex superchargers...
