Video: Retuned Kawasaki Ninja H2R Hits a Whopping 385kmph

Kawasaki Ninja H2 is undoubtedly one of the finest creations in the motorcycling history till date. The bike has been engineered in collaboration with the heavy industries and aircraft unit of Kawasaki and is proudly the first supercharged production motorcycle in the world. While the company claims a top speed of 300+ kmph for the bike, there are some speed enthusiasts in the world who are not ready to accept this exceptional figure. A video has surfaced over the internet that shows a customised, track-focussed Kawasaki Ninja H2R attaining a top speed of 385kmph.

The standard Ninja H2R comes powered by a 998cc, inline four-cylinder engine that comes mated to a six-speed dog ring transmission. The engine generates a whopping power of around 296 horsepower. The fully-tuned Ninja H2R in the video has been reconfigured to pump out an additional 100 horses and claims to touch a top speed of 400kmph. 

The bike has been customised by the Japanese firm - Trick Star and WSBK rider Ryuji Tsuruta made it achieve a top speed of 385kmph. The rider revealed that the Dunlop tyres installed in the bike performed really well, despite having a fear that such insane speed and extreme G-forces could explode the tyres. Trick star’s aim was to hit the top speed of 400kmph, which couldn’t be made possible due to an insufficiently longer track.
