K 1200 R 2009 vs H2 2024

If straight-line speed is your priority, the H2 takes the lead. With 34 HP more than the K 1200 R, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. Both bikes share a similar footprint on the scale, with only a negligible 1kg difference between them, so handling characteristics will depend more on center-of-gravity than raw weight. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the h2 offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
