Details on street bike Ninja H2 here. But they don't say horse power. A cool $25,000 if you want one.

Nice! I'd probably kill myself but would love to take it for a spin.  8)

25K and they are taking orders.
Not priced as bad as I thought it would be, the new Yamaha R1M is 22k and makes 200 HP with electronic suspension, it is a great time to be into bikes!

It looks like with a few modifications to the clutch, seal, and crank plus an ECU flash this bike will make way more that 200 HP. Actually, I'm sure none of them will remain stock / unflashed for very long.

The one thing I'm wondering is if Kawasaki will [NOW] put the ZX-14R engine in a future Concours 14 (possibly making it a Concours 15). If not they're stuck making three big engines. That just seems wasteful.  ;)

I also own a ZX14R, and let me tell you, You don't want that engine in a Connie.
Seriously. :o

Why not? They detuned the ZX-14 engine for the Connie. They can detune the ZX-14R engine for the Connie too.

I guess they think if you can afford $25,000 for a pure toy, you can afford to get it fixed.
