First production supercharged bike.... Planet gear drive direct from the crank? What if it seizes?

I suspect you would be a bit too dead to worry about such trivialities ::)

Properly maintained it shouldn't seize though, should it.. so that's a bit like saying "The engine is attached to the back wheels, what if it seizes", no?

Does rather presume that you made it to the end of the road in one piece :-\

The Ninja H2R is a closed course riding use only model and is not manufactured for use on public roads, streets or highways. All usage of this vehicle should be limited to riding on a closed course.... 'Useful'???
The exhaust sound level of the H2R at the time of factory shipment is 120 dB/A using Auto Cycle Union (ACU) guidelines. It is the owner’s responsibility to confirm that noise regulations of closed courses permit vehicles reaching this level of exhaust sound. Changes to the exhaust system may alter performance and sound level..... 'Plod would be pleased'.
In addition to regular periodic maintenance, service inspections are required every 15 hours of engine operation above 8,000r/min (rpm). These service intervals are monitored through the vehicle’s ECU with service messages displayed on the multifunction meter...... 15 hours! A whole year's riding in the UK??
The H2R is sold “as-is” with no warranties, express or implied. The purchaser accepts all responsibilities concerning cost of service, maintenance and repairs... 'VERY comforting'....... :-\

We're not talking unions or torie policy. Chill out.
Those that choose to ride bikes do so knowing the risks. ...those that don't usually just cant but won't say so. ;) it's a bit like mobile phones and touch screens. "Oh I don't need that rubbish" equates to, I'm scared/can't/won't/don't understand anything outside my box.
....but once they actally try it. And see another point of view.... ::)

H2r is the (sold out) track only model of the road going and hideously fugly H2. 220bhp
You rekon you'd spend more than 15 hours above 8k in a year? Dream on ;D
-

Depends if you leave first gear or not.. ;D
-
Hmm. Not interested in those 2 wheeled contraptions, but it would make a nice engine for a kit car. :-*
-
The road going version has barely 200 BHP. Little old ladies could ride it? ::) :)

But for track work, as it's designed for.... No still wouldn't ;D
-
Would like to see it going head to head with this, It only has 2 gears though, (faster/slower)

But seriously, re planet gear, and the service interval. Presumably the set up is to achieve high enough rpm. But I'd rather see a belt drive, at least if it goes tits up it will just strip the belt. Rather than rap a chain around the crank.
-

Gay! No challenge in a car! :P
Why bollards up the power to weight by adding a car chassis ?
-
Ah, looks like chain is clutch side of the crank case, away from the crank chamber. Saw another animation that was miss leading.

Think I'd still prefer a belt. :-\
-
Sounds lovely , wheelies around corners :D ;D
-
I am chilled ;D
And freely admit that if i put a moped into gear I would promptly fall off and die :D hence a lack of interest in doing so...

A carefully constructed Westfield won't weigh much more than the bike... Not sure that it would be inherently safer just because it had four wheels though ::)
-

Ah, like me and horses.. I didn't get three feet forward before I slid off the hairy beast.
Wouldn't mind a go on the bike, though. Should probably pass my CBT first though.. ;D
-
What it needs is some ballast to hold it down ;)

Yes, and 4 wheels means it can go round corners... and, on the Gay issue, you don't need all that leather. ;)
-
;D
-
The bike weighs 216kg, so I would imagine a carefully constructed Westfield would easily weigh twice as much - thus halving the power / weight ratio. ;)
As for bikes not being able to go around corners. Seriously ??
Granted a good car will ultimately corner faster than a good bike due to the amount of rubber in contact with the road, but any modern bike will corner well above the abilities and fear threasholdof all but the bravest people.
As for the leather. Its a necessary evil for those who don't have a death wish. :)

Maybe that's why these posts annoy me Al. Quite happy to post in such an expert manor on something you know sweet da about, but on the other hand everyone else MUST be so precisely exact in everything they say.
From that PoV, most certainly not chilled out.
If you fancy some training wheels and some lessons, just shout, but until then the bike itself will not automatically be at fault if YOU bin it!
-
As for the power to weight, again, complete rubbish! :)
-
Fair dos ;)
-
Yes I thought so ;D
-
Now this super charger...

That is .. pretty much exactly how I'd look and precisely why I've never done by CBT..
-
Only thing I can wrong with the bike is there is nowhere for granny to put shopping as she uses it for trips to the local shops and back. ::) :o :D
Seriously, looks like a good track tool. :y :y :y
Are they going to run a race series for it?

Agreed on all counts. Hence the smiley in my original post. ;)
You can get a bike engined car under 500kg, but not by much, and it'll be pretty basic (then again, so is a bike). You do have to add the rider/driver to both sides of the equation, though. Not far off 100kg in my case. :-[
-
Now this super charger...
Is there room for one on each bank on the LS lump :-\
-
on the Gay issue, you don't need all that leather. Not bought any some time now, but. 'All that leather' will cost you more than a Miggy... :o Add the helmet at around £350 - £400.
Are they going to run a race series for it? Can't see too many people stumping up £41,000.

Oh you wanna play arrogant remarks. Ok. ;D
"....But still needs a crash helmet, an intercom, water proofs, and likely thermal underware in the wrong conditions. Costs less bhp per ton than a car. Better performance in all aspects apart from braking... And whotf needs brakes anyway?
Cars, for gay past it poofs that have lost there Gahoneys in a mid life crisis, no talent or sense of balance. Mmm lets do motor sport but in a nice safe unchallenging way.
And, having not tried it, clearly no clue wtf they are talking about. :)"
....yeah. Mine I think ;D

Chortle, chortle, murmur, murmur ;D
Fair points well presented... Being a democratic world, shall we call that a draw ::)

Bloody Stupid! But don't fancy a Westfield's chances in this one..... https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=749156308482643

Ive had 2 of those ZX12r's ... huge bike but quite capable and comfy . Used it for trips up to Dundee years ago :y

10+ years ago the Yamaha R6 cup cost £20,000 + VAT for the race prepared R6 for the season. There was no shortage of young nutters enthusiastic riders out to prove their talent......or not. ::) :o :o :o Quite a few of the current crop of top British riders cut their teeth and go noticed and recruited by BSB, WSB and GP teams as a result. :y :y :y

If I had the money, I wouldn't hesitate.

£41k :o

Bargain! ;D

Smeagol likes it. Precious has the power!
Smeagol likeses the new r1 as well. :y
