Gravitational radiation from binary black hole mergers is an important source for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) as well as for ground based-gravitational wave observatories. By numerical simulations of Einstein's equations, we derive predictions for the waveforms generated by the final, strongest dynamics of the merger. Our theoretical knowledge of these systems is dramatically increasing with rapidly improving simulation techniques which now allow accurate simulations covering several orbits. We present waveform results representing the last orbits, merger and black hole ringdown for a variety of black hole pairings. In typical combinations, asymmetric gravitational radiation produces a net kick leaving the final remnant black hole with significant velocity with respect to the original center of mass.
