About this converter
Ninja H2R runs 400 km/h track only, 35 clear of MTT Y2K turbine at 365. Lightning LS-218 electric at 350, Ninja H2 street at 337 and Panigale V4 R at 332 follow. Aprilia RSV4 at 305 and BMW S 1000 RR at 303 lead the open street group. Hayabusa, CBR1000RR-R and YZF-R1 tie at the 299 gentlemen's cap. The 299 cap has held since 2001 when makers agreed to limit street bikes. Track-only H2R skips the cap, which explains the 101 gap at the top.
