The 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R



Goes like shit off a shiny shovel


The 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R - Built Beyond Belief. 


 The Kawasaki Ninja H2R motorcycle is an engineering marvel, made possible only through the sourcing of technological expertise from multiple divisions of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. The Gas Turbine division was crucial in the development of a hyper-efficient supercharger­—the only one of its kind; custom components we recreated to near-impossible tolerances by the Machinery division; and the Aerospace division crafted the distinctive carbon-fiber bodywork of this aerodynamic masterpiece. The result is a system of carefully crafted premium components that work in concert to create an unbelievably powerful machine—one that’s more than worthy of the legendary H2 name.

This swordsman has the edge on all rivals


The new Kawasaki Ninja oozes power but it won’t dump you on the road if you try to rough it up.

AS A young man I was fascinated by the look of the Kawasaki Ninja. Its appearance was different from everything else at the time. It exuded sex appeal and, to a red-blooded boy, it was the ultimate object of two-wheeled desire.
Fast-forward a few (ahem) years, and I wonder why I was never tempted to buy one when I was old enough to ride. Thinking about it, it was because of the word “Ninja” emblazoned on the fairing. Telling a prospective girlfriend that you rode a motorbike called a Ninja was not going to impress her, conjuring up, as it did, an image of men dressed in black with swords moving silently in for the kill; very much red-blooded boy stuff. So I went for a Fireblade instead — much more like it.

The latest incarnation of Kawasaki’s school-gate passion machine, the H2, has no “Ninja” plastered on the side, primarily because there isn’t a full fairing on the bike. And it is the most amazing-looking motorcycle to be launched in the past year. It’s a magnet for boys and, for that matter, girls of all ages.


Every time I stopped and got off during a test ride, people gathered round and asked enviously if they could sit on it and have their picture taken. Motorbikes rarely (if ever) stir that behaviour in people.
What’s so special? Take the most amazing motorcycle you have ridden in your life and remember what it was like when you rode it for the first time. Then imagine something even better. It looks like it’s 10 years ahead of its time, and it has the most awesome power delivery of any motorcycle this side of MotoGP.



I approached the bike with some trepidation, unsure how a supercharged motorcycle would deliver its power. Would it build evenly and predictably, or would I find myself hitting a sudden power band that launched me like a tank shell into a wall? After a few minutes of riding like a granny I realised there was nothing to catch me out – the power is just there, all of the time, and you can be pretty brutal with the throttle without being dumped on your backside. That said, it’s not the most comfortable bike to ride around town in a stop-start fashion because the fuelling can be snatchy and it doesn’t lend itself to a daily commute. But then again, what a commute that would be! You’d arrive at work with every sense heightened, grinning even more than usual at the prospect of going home again.
If listening to birds early in the morning is your thing, you’ll like the chirping noise the supercharger makes as it powers up and down. When you do get on the open road the phenomenal acceleration is a joy to experience, with seemingly endless oomph delivered via a slick, clutchless gear change. For a biker there are few more sublime experiences; I just wanted to do it over and over again.

I didn’t want to give this bike back to Kawasaki. I wanted to keep it for warmer days, and to ride it every day, because although it’s not a touring bike you never want to get off. With an open road stretching towards the horizon you feel as though you could cross continents.
Granted, it’s heavier than the average 1000cc superbike and threading through traffic is not its forte. It’s also expensive — no bones about it. But on the other hand there is very little that could keep up with it between zero and the national speed limit. Nothing, at least, that’s road-legal.
It’s the best bike that Kawasaki has ever made for the road. So you don’t have to be embarrassed about saying you ride a Ninja. Every rider needs one.

Fifth of people in UK will suffer from poor health before age 30

Fifth of people in UK will suffer from poor health before age 30 Researchers said that a high proportion of the population will not reach their pension age in good health A fifth of people in England cannot expect good health beyond their 30th birthday, according to analysis of the nation’s wellbeing. By the age of 50, most people will have at least one long-term health condition, such as serious mental illness, asthma or diabetes. The figures, based on data from medical records, calculate that the amount of time during which people can on average expect to be in good health is more than a decade less than official estimates. Delaying the onset of such significant health conditions by even one year could save the NHS more than £3 billion a year, researchers said. The research, by Outcomes Based Healthcare (OBH), uses data from GP and hospital records to determine people’s “healthspan” — the length of time  they can expect to live in good health. It foun...

Executions, Informants, And Flamboyance:The American Mafia In The 1980s

Executions, Informants, And Flamboyance: The American Mafia In The 1980s The 1980s mafia operated in stark contrast to the values presented in  The Godfather  movies. Gone were the bonds of loyalty and the aversion to attention; instead, narcotics — and the money and glamour that came with it — ruled the day. At the same time, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act gave law enforcement increased powers and resources to combat organized crime. This meant stiffer criminal penalties and more incentive for mafiosos to break  omerta , the sacred mafia code of silence. Likewise, with the high stakes of drug trafficking and the rise of a glitzier generation of gangsters, betrayal and deadly internecine fighting became the norm. The 1980s mafia was in many ways the last gasp of an antiquated criminal empire. Though there was plenty of money to be made, the mafia faced unprecedented pressures from both outside and within, signaling that its glo...
