Watch: Kawasaki Ninja H2 vs Ducati Panigale V4S drag race

Two of the most powerful production bikes in the world go head to head; the Ducati Panigale V4S with a claimed 214 bhp, and the notorious supercharged Kawasaki H2 with 231 bhp.
Whilst the Ducati has the weight and capacity advantage, the Kawasaki with its RAM air induction is capable of producing over 240 bhp at high speed! That’s if you can keep the front wheel down.
