2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2 and H2R
After sending shock waves around the world with the impressive, race-oriented Ninja H2R, the Japanese manufacturer struck back with the street-legal Ninja H2. The latter is sure to please fans of hardcore acceleration and outlandish styling.
Plenty powerful, technologically advanced, and blessed with some pretty bold looks, the new, supercharged Ninja H2 (210 hp) and H2R (300 hp) are built on a steel trellis frame with a single-sided swingarm. For the first time on a production road bike, there's a new KYB AOS-II front suspension based on the Air-Oil Separate cartridge fork developed for motocross racing. Meanwhile, the new 998cc inline 4-cylinder engine uses a mechanically driven, centrifugal-type supercharger that contributes to optimum performance across a wide rev range.
