Why haven't manufacturers responded to pic related?

needs more aero

What does that thing even cost?

It's the same reason they stopped making the Evo. They are marketed towards younger people who don't have the money to spend on stuff like that new. This is also why the second hand market is so fucked and overpriced on these cars and bikes.

25k for the 200hp street model and 50k for the 300hp track only model

>>16417004
there's not much of a market and they are very expensive (for bikes)

>>16417004
>why havent other manufacturers responded to an incredibly niche status symbol being targeted at a consumer group that believes buying new is a waste of money and has probably already modified their current bike to have a higher output than the $50,000 version

I fucking wonder.

How does the BMW S1000RR compare in price and performance?

Also why don't any motorcycle manufacturers advertise horsepower on their websites? Isn't that a selling point?

Because you can buy a Hayabusa for £3k and a 300whp turbo kit for £4k (8.5k USD). You only buy the H2 if you're buying into the Supercharged Cyberpunk Ninja meme.

The H2R is kind of a meme bike. It's not a race replica nor part of any particular historic brand model family so there is no real tie to MotoGP/Professional Racing. I don't know what people are even supposed to do it with it.

Also, people need to realize that motorcycles have a point of diminishing returns when it comes to performance and I would argue this happens around the 160hp at the wheel mark. It's the same reason why GSX-R 1000s or ZX10Rs are faster than the Hayabusa/ZX14R. The only advantage the latter has is weight/profile which keeps it more stable in a top speed application.

So unless you're drag racing in a straight line, the H2R is surpassed by much cheaper bikes on the track that are lighter, have similar power:weight ratios, and don't cost $50k.

motorcycles have been hamstrung for almost a decade when it comes to performance. there is some meme agreement where they won't exceed 186mph/300kmh which is why you will find virtually every modern sport bike is making around 180-200hp at the crank.

what I find particularly funny is how overbuilt these bikes are. you can bolt on a turbo and get 250hp without making any modifications to the engine.
