That is an insane amount of money for a bike.

You can't make direct currency conversions on British prices. for example, a ZX10R is about 12,000 pounds, or $20,000US, but ZX10Rs are under $15K in the US.
The H2 will come in somewhere near the ZX14R.
Also, the recent video clearly shows this is a triple, so likely a 750 cc triple, which then makes total sense for reviving the H2 name. Too bad about the winglets, they will serve no purpose at road speeds, and they were tried in racing decades ago and found to make handling much worse. As for cost, the cost of CF has plummeted lately in manufacturing due to new sources of the fiber mat and a few patents expiring.
I think what we will see here is a 750 size bike with low weight and yet litre bike power. More power is likely just a ECU flash to turn up the max boost from the supercharger.
It's cool, but I still think a >150 hp is irresponsible for public consumption.
