A Motorbike Racer Hit 249mph Riding A Kawasaki H2R On A Closed Bridge

On the newly completed İzmit Bay Bridge in Turkey, Turkish supersport rider Kenan Sofuoğlu took Kawasaki's crazy supercharged H2R up to an incredible 249mph

The reason the track-only H2R is so damn fast, is because it’s stupidly powerful. As in 300bhp powerful. For a bike, that’s utterly mad, and it’s all thanks to a supercharged 998cc inline-four cylinder engine. If all that sounds a bit too mad, there is a slightly less crazy 210bhp ‘H2’, which can actually be used on the road.

Right! Suzuki paid a ton of people and even got CT in on the lie for a bike you can’t even purchase. Good thing you called them out on it and saved us all from thinking a production track only bike is fast! You could follow up by looking at some of the sources posted or maybe do a simple interwebz search. You could, you know, click the pic and watch the video too. That might help.

Forgive the scepticism, but shouldn’t they do this with a gps? :) tacho is not the most accurate of things!

He could have gone faster, though. But his massive balls were weighing hin down.
