Carbon fibre weave alignment is so close, yet so far. See how the little winglets have mirrored weave patterns, tick for that...but then the front fairing is a proper mismash. I'm trying not to notice the hugger.

Thing is, it's a shit load of effort to make moulds and then parts which actually fit...how can you be good enough to do that, then cock up the last detail :D

On that basis, they can keep their really nice bike ;)

I half expect it to transform into some megadoodad or other. I quite like this and thankfully I know little about weaves to let it distract me.

It looks like Kawasaki have made the bodywork so it's 'blind' to radar. Bit like the late 90s Stealth bomber.

Doesn't do it for me.

With all the bits and bobs bolted on it looks like a prototype. I'm just not sure what it's a prototype of. :lol:

And people laugh at a few Touratech bolt-ons...that's got the whole contents of the MLC Blingtastic Catalogue on it!

I really like it, from a distance. I've never been a fan of the carbon fibre look. But I love the look of the bike :D :D

I like it from a distance too. About 200 miles should be far enough

Probably won't surprise too many who know me, but I like that.
H2s are lairy as standard and one of not that many bikes that one shouldn't be embarrassed about further carboning and blinging up- that one's just the right level of extra bling IMO.
Really should have started with a green framed one though IMO- it's a fast Kawasaki FFS! :D
