Video: First Laps aboard the Kawasaki Ninja H2R

Kawasaki Europe recently held a press event for the 2015 Ninja H2 and H2R at the Losail International Circuit just north of Doha, Qatar, and videos are starting to trickle in from the event. This clip, from the guys at red-live.it is our favorite. Why? There’s no music, no camera angle changes, no nonsense; just the sound of a Kawi H2R getting hustled around the Losail Circuit at a surprisingly impressive pace, with images of the dash showing 319-321 km/h (or around 198-199 mph). This is what Kawi’s H2R is all about.

If you weren't already excited for Kawasaki's Ninja H2 and H2R, then hit the play button and turn the volume up. You can also check out more footage from the event on YouTube, and more videos from the guys at red-live.it there as well.
