Are Prices Softening?

I want that H2 that does 250MPH

Just head on down to your Kawasaki dealer and order a 2025 H2R.

It’s top speed is 248.8 mph, for a whopping $31,000 retail.

But, it’s technically not street legal. The legal version only does a touch over 200mph, but costs all of 17,000 clams.

I sorta want one just cause. . .being scared to death can be great fun.

Which is also why I like very quick British bikes with questionable braking ability. Same thrill at more survivable speeds.

Before I retired I didn't find the time to ride as much as I would have liked, and rarely found two days in a row. But, one time when I did, the first day I covered a few hundred miles on my Ducati, with some of those miles at upwards of 100 mph.

The next day I took my Triumph 500 and, as I left the neighborhood and turned onto a larger road, I accelerated energetically through the gears. Maybe 5 seconds after that I saw a car approaching in the distance that could have been a cop, just after I had passed a 35-mph speed limit sign. Oh no! I glanced down to see how much speed I had to scrub off, at which point I saw I only had managed to accelerate to all of 35 mph.

That second day I covered fewer than half the miles, at less than half the speed, but enjoyed that ride every bit as much.
