Video Tom Sykes rides his H2R and his H2R
TOM Sykes is perhaps the only person in the world to own both a 2015 Ninja H2R and a 1974 H2R race bike, according to Kawasaki.
Could that be because he’s the only 1974 H2R owner to have been given a £41,000, 326hp, track-only Ninja H2R to go with it? Oops! Did we say that out loud?
Oh well. He won the 2013 World Superbike championship for Kawasaki, came second in 2014 and he’s not doing badly this year either, so who more deserving?
Watch him enjoying both machines at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in Leicestershire.
The video was posted on Kawasaki’s YouTube channel with the message: ‘Tom Sykes is perhaps the only person in the world to own BOTH a 2015 Ninja H2R and a 1974 H2R race bike. Watch and enjoy his pride at being in such a lucky position.’
