NINJA H2 AND ROCKET 3R: THE ENDLESS QUEST OF SUPERLATIVES!

We put the fantastic Canon EOS R6 to good use as we marvel the quest for betterment that brought us the Ninja H2 and the Rocker 3R

- KARAN SINGH BANSATTA

EVER since the dawn of mankind, one of the key things that have led us to where we are today is the sense of competition. Competition with others and competition with oneself. The latter gives rise to the pursuit of perfection which inevitably paves way for betterment. And while perfection may be elusive, betterment often leads one to perhaps the most desired thing in the world- supremacy or superlatives. This story is about two superlatives from our world, the world of motorcycling. The Kawasaki Ninja H2, the world’s fastest street-legal production motorcycle and the Triumph Rocket 3, sporting the world’s largest engine on a street-legal production motorcycle.

Building a little more on that quest for supremacy, it led mankind from cave drawings to exotic paintings, from an imperfect wheel to space shuttles, and so on. While it also led us from spears and swords to guns and nuclear bombs, we’d like to keep pessimism at bay here. Instead, we’ll focus on machines, invented for convenience and more often than not, pitched against each other in pursuit of adding the prefix -est to the adjectives used to describe them.
