In 2017, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer launched the Kawasaki Ninja H2R, a flame-spitting machine, and an engineering marvel manufactured using only technological expertise from multiple divisions of Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
Kawasaki wanted to create a factory-built machine where the engineers pursued unadulterated performance without worrying about the limitations of street homologation and came up with a supercharged four-stroke engined motorcycle that delivered out-of-this-world power for a factory-built super machine.
Also, Kawasaki manufactured the H2 machine, which was a street-legal version of the H2R that was made using the same technology from the H2R but tuned in a way that matched the street-legal homologation.
The H2R and H2 models shared many technologically advanced components, such as the 998cc engine, the supercharger, the trellis frame, the aerodynamic bodywork, the single-sided swingarm mounted to the engine, powerful Brembo brakes, and much more.
As for the immense power, the 2017 Kawasaki Ninja H2R squeezed everything it could from the 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled supercharged engine and delivered an output power of 310 hp with a peak at 14,000 rpm and 165 Nm (122 lb-ft) of torque available at 12,500 rpm.
To match the massive power, the Kawasaki H2R packed a massive 330 mm Brembo semi-floating disc with a Brembo M50 four-piston caliper on the front wheel and a 250 mm disc at the rear that provided strong braking performance.
