The Kawasaki Ninja H2, released by the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer in 2017, was a supercharged street bike that delivered unprecedented power and remarkable acceleration in a street-legal package, unlike its racetrack-only H2R brother.
The H2 model was developed as the ultimate performance street-legal machine and built with state-of-the-art technologies combined by Kawasaki's high-performance motorcycle, aerospace, and gas turbine divisions.
The engine had to be compact with high horsepower on tap and intense acceleration, so Kawasaki engineering divisions created a highly-efficient supercharger that didn't require an intercooler to cool down the air fed to the engine.
In the performance department, the 2017 Kawasaki Ninja H2 had its soul in a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled supercharged engine that delivered an output power of 200 hp with a peak at 12,500 rpm and 133 Nm (98 lb-ft) 10,500 rpm.
The bike featured a digital fuel injection system that provided smooth engine response and enhanced the input to the Sports Kawasaki Traction Control (S-KTRC) system, which accommodated the Kawasaki Launch Control Mode, and Kawasaki Engine Brake Control features.
For braking performance, the H2 model packed 330 mm discs clamped by a couple of four-piston Brembo calipers on the front wheel and a 250 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston Brembo caliper on the rear.
