When the Ninja H2R motorcycle was conceived by Kawasaki, the driving concept behind its development was to offer the kind of acceleration most riders had never experienced.

It's designed to be an unforgettable supercharged street performance. Shared technology from other group companies can be found throughout the all-new engine and chassis.

A supercharged engine, the 998 cc in-line Four has a maximum output of around 300 hp. It was designed by Kawasaki motorcycle engine designers with assistance from other companies within the KHI Group, namely the Gas Turbine & Machinery Company, Aerospace Company and the Corporate Technology Division.

The Ninja H2R is a closed-course, riding-use-only model and is not manufactured for use on public roads, streets or highways.

All usage of this vehicle should be limited to riding on a closed course.

Even the Parts designed specifically for the H2R are for closed course riding use only and cannot be purchased without proof of H2R ownership (product registration, VIN confirmation, etc.).

In addition to regular periodic maintenance, service inspections are required every 15 hours of engine operation above 8,000r/min (rpm). These service intervals are monitored through the vehicle’s ECU with service messages displayed on the multifunction meter.
