Kawasaki Ninja H2R
The wait is finally over as the much
anticipated Kawasaki Ninja H2 reaches the dealerships worldwide. After its race
track version i.e. Kawasaki Ninja H2R, the road legal H2 was released to cater
the extravagant bike admirers. The bike has completely revived the high-end
superbike market with its cheerful looks and a bunch of advanced features.
Kawasaki Ninja H2 gets its revs from
a 998cc, liquid-cooled, in-line four cylinder that comes mated to a six speed
transmission system. The bike employs dog ring type transmission that is found
particularly in MotoGP bikes. The gigantic mill churns out an impressive power
of 197bhp at 11,000rpm with a peak torque of 134Nm at 10,500rpm. The powertrain
is coupled to a Kawasaki supercharger, making Kawasaki Ninja H2 the only
production supercharged motorcycle in the world.
The machine is bolted on a high tensile steel trellis frame that provides a tough skeleton for the bike’s massive body. Kawasaki Ninja H2 moves gracefully on 120/70ZR17 front and 200/55ZR17 rear tubeless tyres with stylish cast aluminium star pattern 5-spoke alloy wheels. The suspension system has fully adjustable 43mm upside-down forks at the front and Uni-Trak gas charged monoshock with piggy back reservoir at the rear. To handle the stopping power of this beast, Kawasaki has fitted the bike with dual semi floating 330mm discs with Brembo four pisto
India Kawasaki Motors has finally launched
their most awaited motorcycle, the Ninja H2. After dropping a bomb with the
Ninja H2R at the 2014 Intermot show, Kawasaki unveiled the road-legal version,
the Ninja H2 at the 2014 EICMA show. Marketed as the world’s only supercharged
hypersport motorcycle, the Ninja H2 has been co-developed by the Kawasaki
motorcycle division, the turbine and the Aerospace division.
The Ninja H2 is powered by a 998cc
supercharged engine that churns out 207bhp at 11,000rpm and a maximum torque of
140.4Nm at 10,500rpm. This engine transfers the power to the rear wheel via a
six-speed dog-ring transmission, which is found in MotoGP bikes. The bike gets
a Brembo hydraulic clutch and an adjustable back-torque limiter that prevents
wheel locking up during quick downshifts.
The Ninja H2 has been coated in a chemical
solution of silver-ions and a reducing agent to form a layer of pure silver.
This allows the bike to look black in the shade but have a mirror finish effect
in the light. The H2 shares the H2R's steel trellis frame (first Ninja to get
it) which Kawasaki says allows a short wheelbase for sharp handling while
providing excellent high-speed stability. The mirrors are designed to
aerodynamically assist high-speed stability while a chin spoiler on the fairing
delivers downforce to the front wheel. Cosmetically, the Ninja H2 looks way
different from the rest of the Ninja family.
The LCD instrument console displays a wide
range of data like the speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip meter, average
and current fuel-efficiency, clock, temperature, gear position indicator and
the economical riding indicator. The Ninja H2 is loaded with the latest gizmos
like the patented Kawasaki Traction Control System (KSTRC), Kawasaki Launch
Control Mode (KLCM), Kawasaki Engine Brake Control (KEBC), Kawasaki Intelligent
anti-lock Brake System (KIBS), Kawasaki Quick Shifter and an Ohlins Electronic
Steering Damper.
The Kawasaki NInja H2 is being sold in India
as a completely-built-up (CBU) unit from Japan. As per the top honcho of the
company, it was difficult for the Indian arm to get this bike to India, due to
its hypersport pedigree, which basically means that not many Ninja H2
bikes will be sold in India. The bike will be available only at Kawasaki
exclusive dealerships. Considering its price tag, the Kawasaki Ninja H2
competes with the BMW S1000RR and the soon-to-be launched Yamaha
