It might be the usual MCN crap, but I can't see the point of Kawasaki going to the trouble of building the H2 and not use what they've learned. It makes sense to get more road bikes using the supercharger.

I'll probably never afford a supercharged version bike. But I'd love to try one!

I think the article did mention not to expect anything other than a premium price as superchargers are expensive.

Still good to see how they make it work on a made for the road sportsbike.

Remember that Mako Shark bike.....beautifully done but an expensive addition for the perceived payoff.
