They cause a stir – not least thanks to the built-in compressor.

2/28
“Silencer” is not exactly the right expression for the pipe into which the four elbows open. This makes the Kawasaki Ninja H2R look more delicate than …

Even if the black lines in the picture were brought together by many motorcycles – the Kawasaki Ninja H2R would have no problem leaving such asphalt drawings at any time on command.

7/28
Particularly excellent: the compressor.

8/28
The test bench of the Hockenheimer tuner Herbert O. Kainzinger brought the declared performance to light at least to some extent. The compressor keeps an astonishingly cool head during the test bench runs.

9/28
Even the best slick cannot withstand the concentrated stress of compression in the steep wall curve and subsequent speeds of over 300 km / h.

10/28
Unfortunately, the test bench could not supply enough air, so that the Kawasaki Ninja H2R lagged behind the declared performance.

11/28
In the wild, it makes better use of its potential.

12/28
Only when sprinting to 100 km / h does the tamer Kawasaki Ninja H2 come out on top – by a tenth or a meter. Then the H2R takes off. If the H2 needs a good kilometer to get up to speed, the Kawasaki Ninja H2R breaks the 300 wall just two thirds of the way.

13/28
So the Kawasaki Ninja H2 can really inspire you.

14/28
No, the umbrella does not indicate a weather app. It signals that rain mapping is activated. A feature that the Kawasaki Ninja H2R lacks – of course.

15/28
The compressor rotates at 9.2 times the crankshaft speed, in an emergency with 130,000 revolutions, and sips 200 liters of air per second.

But how do Kawasaki’s ninja H2 and H2R fare when they compete against each other? We took them with us on the high-speed course.

17/28
The street-legal Kawasaki Ninja H2 (left) has a good 100 hp less than the mighty Kawasaki Ninja H2R (right).

18/28
Kawasaki specifies 310 hp for the H2R – at 14,000 rpm.

19/28
The Kawasaki Ninja H2, on the other hand, reaches its maximum performance at 11,000 rpm: here it is then 200 hp.

20/28
In order to implement the performance at top speed, special conditions are required: An eternally long straight (2.3 km!), …

21/28
… then a 43 degree steep curve before it goes on the 2.3 km long back straight and over the second steep curve back to the starting point.

22/28
Of course, you can accelerate properly and, above all, safely, and so we reached a top speed of 357 km / h. The incorruptible GPS puts this into perspective to an impressive 337 km / h.

23/28
Kawasaki Ninja H2: water-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke engine, four valves, bore x stroke 76.0 x 55.0 mm, 998 cm³, 147.2 kW (200 hp) at 11,000 / min, 133 Nm at 10,500 / min, injection system, six-speed gearbox , Chain drive; Bridge frame made of aluminum, upside-down fork, Ø 43 mm, tires from / h .: 120/70 ZR 17 and 190/55 ZR 17, front disc brake, Ø 330 mm, rear disc brake, Ø 250 mm, wheelbase 1455 mm , Steering head angle 65.5 degrees, caster 103 mm, weight 239 kg, price 25,000 euros.

24/28
Kawasaki Ninja H2R: water-cooled four-cylinder four-stroke engine, four valves, bore x stroke 76.0 x 55.0 mm, 998 cm³, 228.0 kW (310 hp) at 14,000 / min, 165 Nm at 12,500 / min, injection system, six-speed gearbox , Chain drive; Bridge frame made of aluminum, upside-down fork, Ø 43 mm, tires from / h: 120/600 R 17 and 190/650 R 17, front disc brake, Ø 330 mm, rear disc brake, Ø 250 mm, wheelbase 1455 mm , Steering head angle 64.9 degrees, caster 108 mm, weight 218 kg, price 50,000 euros.

25/28
The Kawasaki Ninja H2 only draws its fresh air through one of the two nostrils. The tiny headlight is a concession to the approval regulations.

26/28
The Kawasaki Ninja H2R has both intake openings free so that it gets enough air; the filter element is located directly behind it.

27/28
On the Kawasaki Ninja H2, all buttons have a function. The H2R dispenses with a horn and hazard warning lights.

28/28
Thanks to the compressor, both bikes almost show a straight line in the performance diagram – and thus come close to the optimum.
