The supercharged Kawasaki Ninja H2 is perhaps the most anticipated bike that will be launched during 2015. To whet the biking community’s appetite, the only H2 in South Africa right now is touring Kawasaki dealerships.
Wheels24 took the opportunity to see it in the metal at Bike Crazy in Pretoria.
Mechanically, the street-legal H2 doesn’t differ greatly from its ridiculously powerful track-only sibling, although Kawasaki hints at much lower power output – in the region of 150kW. This may seem disappointing but it might well be that Team Green deliberately understates the power for political reasons (much like the gentlemen’s agreement not to admit to superbike top speeds over 300km/h).
