CONCEPT
NINJA H2R
Designed to be the ultimate motorcycle, the Ninja H2R was developed as a closed-course model, enabling an unadulterated pursuit of performance free of the limitations that street riding would impose. Powered by an over 300 PS supercharged engine, it offers intense acceleration, an ultra-high top speed, supersport-level handling performance, and a sensory experience surpassing anything that riders can find today.
To realise the goal of creating the ultimate motorcycle, help was enlisted from other companies in the Kawasaki Heavy Industries (KHI) Group, precipitating an unprecedented level of inter-company collaboration.
ESSENSE
-
THE QUEST FOR POWER
In order to be able to offer intense acceleration and a top speed in a range that most riders have never experienced, it was essential that the engine be able to produce big power, while ensuring a lightweight, compact overall package.
Using a supercharged engine enabled both of these engine design requirements to be met: maximum power output exceeds 300 PS, and the engine size is on par with other supersport litre-class power units. Designed in-house, the immense potential of the highly compact, highly efficient, supercharged 998 cm3 In-Line Four engine is a testament to the technology possessed by the KHI Group.
-
HIGH-SPEED STABILITY & LIGHT HANDLINGThe objectives for the Ninja H2Rās chassis were to ensure unflappable composure at ultra-high speeds, offer cornering performance to be able to enjoy riding on a circuit, and finally to have a highly accommodating character.
Ordinarily, high-speed stability can easily be achieved with a long wheelbase, but a shorter wheelbase was selected to achieve the compact overall package and sharp handling that were also desired. An innovative new trellis frame provided both the strength to harness the incredible power of the supercharged engine, and the balanced flex to achieve the stability and pliability for high-speed riding.
-
SHAPED FOR SPEED
As speed increases, wind resistance increases exponentially. To be able to operate in the ultra-high speed range, a combination of high power and slippery aerodynamics was needed. With power requirements taken care of by the supercharged engine, the next step was to design bodywork that both minimised drag and added control when riding at ultra-high speed.
-
MAN-MACHINE INTERFACE Although the Ninja H2Rās high performance cannot be denied, since it was not intended to be a race bike designed to turn quick lap times as efficiently as possible, it did not need the spartan accommodation found on most purpose-built supersport models. The man-machine interface enables riders to enjoy the bikeās performance with a modicum of comfort. While the riding position, ergonomics and cockpit layout were all designed first and foremost to put the rider in the best position to control this amazing machine, the impression from the riderās perspective is one not of austerity, but rather plush quality, high-tech control, and an impeccable fit and finish. -
ELECTRONIC RIDER SUPPORT
Complementing the Ninja H2Rās incredible engine and chassis performance, advanced electronics work behind the scenes to provide rider support. Depending on rider preference, many of the systems may be turned off. And while the over 300 PS engine was designed to be accommodating even without the benefit of electronic assistance, when electing to fully experience the Ninja H2Rās intense acceleration or ultra-high speed potential, these systems are available to provide an extra degree of rider reassurance.

CRAFTMANSHIP More than any motorcycle Kawasaki has built to date, the Ninja H2R is a showcase of craftsmanship, build quality and superb fit and finish. Its brilliant silver-mirror paint was specially developed for the Ninja H2R. The welding on its new trellis frame is consistently elegant. And hand assembly in an area dedicated exclusively to this model ensures an immaculate fit and finish.
TOP FEATURES
IN-HOUSE DESIGNED SUPERCHARGER
TRELLIS FRAME CONSTRUCTION
Trellis frame construction offered an elegant, lightweight solution, a balance of stiffness and flexibility that enables a very high level of stability while being able to handle external disturbances at ultra-high speeds. Its open design also helps effectively dissipate heat generated by the supercharged engine.
ORIGINAL-DESIGN WHEELS
The star-pattern 5-spoke wheel design was selected based on analysis and testing to determine the optimum rigidity balance for ultra-high speed performance.
