Over on the zx10r forum someone claimed that there was a live interview with Ricky Gadson somewhere in the vast Internet. Apparently it is claimed that Ricky said the h2 will be the bugatti of the motorcycle world, will be the most powerful bike we've ever seen and will be limited to 500 bikes. I guess he also claimed the H2 will be a dagger in the hearts of the other manufactures. I can't find any video, audio or transcript of the supposed interview. But there seem to be 2 statements that conflict each other. One being it will be a dagger in the heart of other manufactures and that it will be limited to 500 bikes. Being that limited will make it virtually unobtainable even if it's 500 set for the US. I don't see how that would do anything to the other manufactures.

The teaser videos show a supercharged 4 cylinder.

Just a couple quotes from Kawasaki USA's Facebook page. Kawasaki USA Sep 1 · "Inspired by the innovative spirit of the 1972 Kawasaki H2 motorcycle, developed by the collective strength of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., and built to be a motorcycle the world never imagined possible. Witness the 2015 all-new Ninja H2 supersport motorcycle in this week's sneak-peak video here: http://bit.ly/1wZvoBA" And Kawasaki USA Sep 16 at 9:02am · "The 1971 Kawasaki H2 was an unprecedented machine. The world's fastest motorcycle at the time, the "Mach IV" had a reputation for extreme performance. In 2015, the H2 legend lives on. For more teaser videos, check out www.ninja-h2.com" These quotes give me hope that this is going to be the biggest baddest bike we've ever seen. It says inspired by the spirit of the h2. It doesn't say it's a remake of the h2. We already know it's not a 3 cylinder 2 stroke. So that means it doesn't have to be a 750cc to be considered "in the spirit of the h2". "built to be a motorcycle the world never imagined possible." No one really thinks it's possible to put a supercharged 1000cc + sized engine on a light weight street bike. No one really seems to think 200+ hp is streetable or usable on the track. I'm hoping this bike changes that for all of us and they show us it can be done. "The 1971 Kawasaki H2 was an unprecedented machine. The world's fastest motorcycle at the time, the "Mach IV" had a reputation for extreme performance." I'm hoping the new H2 is also the fastest motorcycle of its time with a reputation for extreme performance.

Seems like a lot of people getting mad at you for no reason. Are you one of those guys that ride around with your brights on?

So I feel victimized now. Like the media took us to the biggest movie of the year then made us leave before the movie was over only to use us to get money and never called us back.

The new video shows a supercharger and states "supercharged super sport". Ninja-h2.com

So you are saying that the whole idea of the H2 is a hoax? What i got from the article above was the information leaked about the specs was false not the information about the h2 being debuted at the end of the month. It is a pretty detailed hoax with the website (http://ninja-h2.com/s/) and videos on there. If you go to kawasaki.Com then click the link to their Facebook page link on there. The kawasaki USA Facebook page is posting the teaser videos also.

I read somewhere can't remember where though maybe the ninja h2 site that kawasaki said they weren't building a bike that fit into any current race classes.

If you zoom in on the turn signal thing it doesn't look like a turn signal at all. It looks like carbon fiber and possibly an intake or some type of aerodynamic piece.

Still no new information? I wonder if it means that the facts have been uncovered but won't be released because it shows how wrong the mainstream media was. Or if it means the people of Ferguson have looted the entire town and have nothing left to steal so it is no longer interesting. They were rioting because they had asshole cops (in the towns people's opinion). Now they are going to have a shitier town with more pissed off cops. I think that's a fail for Ferguson Missouri.

A hammer and screw driver will often work in a pinch.

That sign might cause some riots.

Here's the problem with the small displacement theory. The 2015 zx-10rabs weighs 443 lbs, the 2015 zx-6rabs weighs 228. 15 lb difference which I agree is a lot on a sport bike. But add a supercharger and most likely a bigger tire and the weight difference is greatly reduced. I don't see kawasaki wasting engineering and development time to make 1000cc power out of a chassis that only weighs 10 lbs less and call it their flagship.

Saw this on Facebook. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10152322039266659&id=697526658&set=a.44917326658.58656.697526658

I guess kawasaki has several patents about super chargers. Including a variable speed super charger that appears to have a small 2 speed "transmission". What ever it is I hope it lives up to the hype. I'm pretty sure they already have a 250 hp + supercharged jet ski. If they've developed that into a street bike it'll be a game changer.

So the rumors are flying all over about this one. Saying it'll be any thing from a 500 cc to a supercharged 1500 cc. But the teaser videos at www.ninja-h2.com sounds like there could be a supercharger. http://www.roadracingworld.com/news/kawasaki-to-introduce-ninja-h2-sept-30-in-germany/

I recommend the elm327 and torque app. It works great on my vette and accord.

This topic seemed to have died of all of the sudden. Haven't heard anything about it in the news at all. It's crazy that it was all over the news for what seems like the perfect amount of time to distract from how the government seems to be downplaying the isis threats. Now all of the sudden nothing.

"Johnson disputes that, saying Wilson -- while sitting in the car -- started the scuffle by grabbing Brown by the neck, and that Brown tried to pull away. Johnson also said that there was no struggle for the gun, but rather that Wilson drew the weapon and shot Brown once at the car." I love this part of the friends claim saying the cop grabbed Brown by the neck while sitting in the car. That officer must have freakishly long arms to be able to grab a a guy that's 6'+ by the neck without even standing up. Also the statement is made that the cop started the scuffle. But there would be no reason to any initiate contact with the two of them if they weren't being assholes walking in the street.

I'm pretty sure the police will know how many rounds were fired. Unless the officer was carrying a firearm with a magazine that was partially empty and some shell casings were not found for whatever reason. Even if the audio is from the incident it shows nothing other than the amount of rounds fired and rate of fire. The 2 second gap in the firing also proves nothing. There are several reasons that the gap in shots could have happened. It could show that the officer stopped shooting to reevaluate the situation and determined that deadly force was still necessary. You seemed to reference shots fired at Browns back a lot even though the family sponsored autopsy showed he was never shot in the back. It's too bad the investigators are taking their time figuring this out. But I'm glad they are looking into all the FACTS and not just all the bs the media is putting out. Until the investigation is over we are only going to know bits and pieces that may or may not be true. In the amount of time that they have been investigating the cop involved has not been placed in jail. That shows 1 of two things. The investigation has not shown enough evidence as of yet for the investigators to believe the cop is guilty of wrong doing. Or 2 despite having enough evidence of wrong doing, the public outcry and political pressure the investigators are not going to do what's right by charging the cop. My point being of they were going to find evidence of wrong doing they most likely would have found it by now.

Considering that this is a zombie thread im going to say brains. But for real. One of my son's favorites that i make is Toad In the Hole. Butter some bread on both sides Use a cup or empty soup can like a cookie cutter to take the center out of the bread slice. Take the center or "hole" out. Put the slice of bread and the "hole" on a flat iron or whatever you use to cook grilled cheese. And cook it like grilled cheese. Once one side of the bread slice is browned to your liking flip it over. Then crack an egg into the center of the bread slice. Then cook it until the egg is cooked to your liking. I prefer over easy or "dippin" eggs and use the "hole" to dip into the egg. It takes a little trial and error to get the timing down to cook the bread and egg both to your liking. Another one of my specialties is Beer butt chicken. Just Google it and pick a recipe that sounds good. I prefer to smoke it.

I read that but still don't see why it was relevant to bring up in the manner you did. It's pretty easy to armchair quarterback any decision someone has made. Especially when it's on video and you have the luxury of seeing it in a relaxed stress free environment from a different angle than those involved. We see it on here all the time in the crash threads. Just like riding fight or flight situations cause target fixation and tunnel vision. Graham VS. Connor is the case law that will most likely be used to determine if the shooting above and the Brown shooting are legal. The main part of Graham VS. Connor is to determine if a use of force to affect an arrest is justified based on 3 parts 1.Severity of the crimes the officer believes have been committed 2. The threat posed to officer or general public. 3. Is the suspect attempting to resist arrest or flee. The Court also stated that the use of force should be measured by what the officer knew at the scene, not by the "20/20 vision of hindsight".

Do you think you could react make the split second life or death decision to decide if the movements he was making from his back were an attempt to get up and continue coming at you if you were in the cops shoes any better than they did? If so maybe you should become a use of force instructor for the police and teach them how to make those decisions better.

I watched it on my phone and could see he was moving even after the last shots were fired. Not sure what you're seeing.
