H2R 2025 vs R1M 2024

If straight-line speed is your priority, the H2R takes the lead. With 110 HP more than the R1M, it offers a more spirited ride that will be noticeable on highway overtakes or track days. When it comes to agility, the R1M has a clear advantage. Weighing in 14kg less than the H2R, it will feel significantly easier to handle in low-speed traffic, parking maneuvers, and twisty corners. Riders with a shorter inseam should lean towards the H2R. Its seat height is 30mm lower than the R1M, making it much easier to flat-foot at stoplights and increasing confidence during stops. Bottom Line: While both are capable, the h2r offers a superior power-to-weight ratio, making it the more exciting machine for experienced riders.
