WEST COAST WELCOMES THE H2
K
awasaki recently hosted an intimate invite-only
dinner reception inside Los Angeles' Japanese
American National Museum in celebration of its
newly introduced 300-horsepower supercharged
sportbike, the 2015 Kawasaki H2 (street legal) and
H2R (closed-course use-only). The H2 made its
U.S. debut in Florida at the AIMExpo in Florida last
month.
The event in California was hosted by Kawasaki
Motors, USA, President, Masa Nakagawa. Joining
him were Chief Operating Officer, Richard Beattie
and Vice President of Sales, Bill Jenkins. During
the evening Nakagawa was quick to point out that
only Kawasaki has the engineering might to pro-
duce a high-performance motorcycle like the new
H2, featuring technologies and manufacturing pro-
cesses born from parent company, KHI's experi-
ence in aerospace.
After a brief explanation of some of the tech-
nologies that the H2 employs, including an exqui-
sitely crafted 12-blade billet supercharger impeller,
guests, including Jay Leno, and members of the
motorcycle and automotive media outlets were
treated to a traditional Japanese Taiko drumming
session, calligraphy while enjoying Tokubetsu Jun-
mai Sake sourced from the Nada area of Japan.
Kawasaki dealers are currently accepting de-
posits for purchase of the motorcycles (the H2
carries an MSRP of $25,000) until December 19,
2014.
