Until now, Kawasaki offered four versions of its damn inflated machine – in these times of road repression -: the original H2R which spits 310 horsepower (on the circuit only), the road sportswoman Ninja H2 and its Carbon version (200 hp ), as well as the sporty road SX SE (200 hp also).

The Ninja H2 remains to this day "the only motorcycle on the market to be equipped with a compressor", rightly reminds Kawasaki which is also the only manufacturer to offer so many motorcycles of "200 hp and more" to its customers: Ninja H2R, Ninja H2 / Carbon, Ninja H2 SX SE, ZZR1400, ZX-10R / R !

"Although a pioneer in the use of Supercharger technology, Kawasaki is aware that power is not everything", however weight the Japanese, "and for 2019 many features have been reworked such as fuel consumption, contained despite the power increase ".

The amount of the latter is unknown to date (for information, the 2017 model of the Ninja H2 is displayed at 26,000 euros on the Kawasaki France site).

Equally revolutionary is the "Noir Mirror Coated Spark" paint: "very resistant, under room temperature conditions, (it) can" self-cover "minor scratches and scuffs in an incredibly short period of time." You did not understand everything, like MNC? Kawasaki explains…

“Developed in-house by Kawasaki, the time between the appearance of a slight scratch and the ‘healing’ is incredibly fast, very different from similar automotive systems which can take a few weeks to completely ‘heal’ the body. , cut in passing the Japanese…

Finally, the new Ninja H2 – still available in Carbon finish – does not content itself with stealing its TFT color counter from the Ninja H2 SX SE: it completes it with a Bluetooth connection allowing the use of Kawasaki’s new "Rideology" application..

“Once paired, the smartphone can display a number of items, including motorcycle information such as fuel level, battery status, and vehicle maintenance intervals …” as well as the Vmax and the number of points remaining on the license? MNC will try to find out during his test…
