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.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

it has more power than my V6 :(
HOWEVER, I bet I would win a race in reverse! Or lets have a race where he has to fit 10 people on his….. oh wait.. he cant .. hah :P
Other Japanese manufacturers be like: so speed war is back! Must defend honor!
that acceleration was so damn quick
No video, no proof.
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 has Turkish heart and balls :)
I thought the GT86 was still kinda weak, now I know..
It’s still kinda weak
He could have gone faster, though. But his massive balls were weighing hin down.
Well i read “biker hit closed bridge at 249 mph”… Stupid brain
