The problem with the H2R or even with the H2 in a drag race is that you can't have full control over its power if you have a stock swing arm. Its body is too small to handle such incredible power of it engine. Get a 12-inch extended swing arm and let's see how powerful that beast is.

[@iangeorge8177]

Surely holding it on the rear brake to get the boost up only works on a turbocharged bike, not a supercharged one? I recall having to do that on the 750 Turbo to get the boost up for overtakes, but on the H2 the boost is controlled by engine speed not exhaust gasses...

[@allwheeldrive]

Could act like a "brake torque" on a car. Was thinking the same, but it apparently works :)

[@HeinzLammerding08]

still remember how he was giggling when reviewing that h2r on losail circuit

[@gazlink1]

You can't "build up boost" on a supercharger by having the throttle open more. That would only work on a turbocharger, which is powered by the exhaust, so can be sensitive to the throttle and the revs.. The only way you can "build boost" with a supercharger is with revs, and revs only. The "charger" is powered purely by the crankshaft, no matter what the throttle is doing. So the brake should have nothing to do with it..

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Guys in the USA are tuning this machine to about 320 hp.... at the wheel. But they have aftermarket intercoolers, supercharger gears (higher boost rpm), extended swingarm for traction, race petrol, super sticky tires, high quality ECU tunes to handle it.

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

Car quicker off the line, bike quicker once rolling. Matter of grip. Bike = Skill, car = child's play. Simples

[@rapido4665]

No, no, and no: its not about grip, but about what many people here write about; a way to keep the front wheel of the bike on the ground. A motorcycles geometry prevents it from getting off the line as fast as a fast car, because the wheel base is way too short on the bike.and the center of gravity is very high. If you apply full power at he start the bike will flip over. The car does not have this issue. This means that you will have to put a very long swing arm on the bike or a wheelie bar, but then you have also created a monstrosity that is unridable everywhere but on a drag strip. The same physics applies to braking; the short wheelbase of the bike will make it flip over the front wheel if you grab the brake lever too hard. This is why a F1 car is always very much faster around a track than a MotoGP bike, but it also makes bikes much more challenging and fun to ride.

[@WolfgangVonKempelen838]

@@rapido4665 So putting down all the power on One wheel compared to four like most super/hyper cars doesn't count then ? You are partly right in my book fella. Bike is more fun and more skill required. A fat rich boy can be quick around a track with a car, not so on a bike.

[@rapido4665]

@@WolfgangVonKempelen838 Exactly; just look at the fastest accelerating cars and bikes; dragsters, they all have only rear wheel drive. Grip does not improve with more wheels or wider wheels, race cars have wide wheels because they last longer, more rubber takes longer to scrub off. If you did pay attention in school, you may remember that friction between two surfaces depends only on the friction coefficient of the surfaces, and the weight on them, not the size of said surfaces. If you encounter ice on the road, you dont put wider tires on your car, but tires with higher friction coefficient, or spikes.
