Onboard video @ Circuit Estoril

Wow this bike sounds Gay. I really can't wait to gut it all out and drop a full system exhaust and put race cams with ecu flash needs more power and torque. Otherwise I going to rebuild this bike myself.

Are you planning on having custom cams made? I don't think the ZX10R race cams will be as productive with boost and I do not know of any other race cams. Maybe some regular H2 cams but those are designed for a different motor and may not work out for the better.

The peak kmph I saw was 288 which is 179mph. I did a quick search online and the last top speed for the straight on a moto gp bike i saw was 202mph. Pretty impressive for a reporter on a sport touring bike to come within 23mph of a world class racer/ bike.

safe to say the bike is fast, though it looks like a steering damper might be handy like has been discussed.

Fast for a sport bike, warp speed for a touring bike

I concur on the steering damper but it seemed like a lot of the instability happened on the deceleration. If you look at the riders reflection off of the tach out seems to happen right after he sits up. I wonder if him sitting up while going over 150mph caused the shake.

EDIT: I kind of remember reading someone's initial review saying the ABS didn't work very well from high speed and allowed the rear to lock up when trying to stop hard when going fast. That might be the cause of the big shake at the end of the acceleration video.

KLCM, Kawasaki Launch Control Mode

The video title says klmc instead of klcm. Maybe it's a language structure thing. There it could be Kawasaki launch mode of control. Lol. Kind of like Spanish instead of saying El gordo gato (the fat cat) the proper way is El gato gordo.

Heh, French is my first language. I can confirm that KLCM remains KLCM, even in French.

If H2SX buyers think they need more power and top speed, they can probably do the same to the SX as what's been done to this stock H2. Big HP gains, especially in the high RPM range when the throttle body limiter is removed.

How the KLCM will be activated, is there a separate button for that one or from settings via UI?

You turn it on in the settings and then I think you hold the clutch in while in first gear, twist it to full throttle and release the clutch rapidly without dumping it. Most likely it's the same as the H2. I'll try to find a video or explanation of how it works.

Here's what the H2 manual says about using launch control.
