About Kawasaki Ninja H2
In 2014 Kawasaki gave birth to one of the most prolific bikes that were born to be a leader on the streets. The bike in lay man’s terms was fast and was capable of producing 200HP, and most importantly, the H2 is street legal.
Lineage of H2 goes back in 1972 when H2R 750 comes on the scene. The plan was shrewd, a 750cc triple had substantial measurement cylinders, and with them arrived immense width.No ordinary properties required for a world-class racer.
The Kawasaki configuration squad handled this issue by enabling tremendous communcation.While the channel ports and exhausts stayed inclined, this issue was resolved.
The first version is the H2R. The elder sibling of H2 i.e., is not street legal. However, H2 is street legal.Result motorcycle enthusiasts very well received the H2.
Because of the way it carried itself, plus, it boasted more power like an accomplished drag racer with a well-balanced structure and self-styled class.
New components, like Ohlins rear shock absorbers, as well as mapping, was added in 2017 by Kawasaki.
This variant gets more muscles in terms of power, a dynamic colorful speedo.Other goodies are like a self-healing paint scheme that allows scratches to repair themselves.
New Bridgestone BATTLAX RS11 sport tires contribute to improved handling while new Brembo Stylema monobloc brake calipers set the bar high in braking performance.
Well-poised character
Well, when you own Cheetah, you expect to run it like a Cheetah, and that is what the H2 is all about.
Even though the H2 weighs 238 kgs with its firm grip and new tires, it gives you more confidence both on track on the street.
You won’t feel the weight of the bike when you start the ignition. The only worrying point is the seat if you are riding for long; you may sometimes find it uncomfortable.
At the corners, it is sharp doesn’t lack any confidence, it boosts your morale, and that is what we like about this bike. More power comes with more balance.
The Heart
Put on a starter, and the 998cc inline 4-cylinder supercharged engine gets instantly to life with a growl that the streets won’t forget easily.
The engine generates a max power of 206 bhp and goes to a top speed of 186 mph i.e., 299 km/h. In any rpm, the H2 goes butter smooth as you pull the throttle.
Sturdy
Beneath the trellis frame lays the monstrous engine capable of clock 299 km/h. The trellis frame is also responsible for giving better rider experience in terms of sharp and responsive handling.
The entire structure of H2 is dependent on the trellis frame that makes the H2 brawnier.
