The track bred Kawasaki Ninja H2R created a lot of buzz in the performance motorcycle segment. Unveiled at the INTERMOT motoring event, the Ninja H2R came with a supercharged engine that generates a staggering 300PS output figure. What followed at the was an equally beautifully sculpted motorcycle but with street legal specifications, the Ninja H2. Since its unveil at the 2014 EICMA motor show in Milan, the Kawasaki Ninja H2 has garnered a lot of attention from motorcycling enthusiasts all across the world.
Many people in India too were eagerly awaiting the motorcycle. Now, the wait is finally over! Kawasaki has confirmed the arrival and prices of the Ninja H2 for the Indian market and has already commenced bookings for this superbike at Rs 10 lakh. In fact, we were also told that three units of the Ninja H2 have already been booked. You can lay hands on your very own Kawasaki Ninja H2 for Rs 32.8 lakh (on-road).

The supercharged 998 cc in-line four cylinder engine enabled design requirements for big power in a lightweight, compact package. Kawasaki claims that except for minor differences in the engine, the intake and the exhaust system, the 200 PS supercharged engine of the Ninja H2 is essentially the same as the over 300 PS engine of the closed-course Ninja H2R.
The safety net is taken care by advanced electronics that work behind the scenes to provide rider support. Depending on rider preference, many of the systems may be turned off. And while the high-performance engine was designed to be accommodating even without the benefit of electronic assistance, when electing to fully experience the Ninja H2’s intense acceleration or high-speed potential, these systems are available to provide an extra degree of rider reassurance. The list of safety features include KTRC (Kawasaki TRaction Control), KLCM (Kawasaki Launch Control Mode), KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System) to name a few.
As we have already mentioned, the bookings have commenced at Rs 10 lakh and the deliveries are scheduled to begin by March 2015.

If you think a supercharged 1000cc bike from Kawasaki only makes 200HP, I’ve got a bridge to sell you. I’m a little shocked any self described ‘motor cycle journalist’ would participate in such a blatant load of hokum. Either you have no idea how an engine works or Kawasaki is paying you to lie. That said, the real mystery is how many they’ll make. They got US buyers to step up by telling them there were only going to be a few made in 2015 and then never again. NOW they’re slowly talking about making more for 2015 and again in 2016 which constitutes fraud on everyone they took money from under the ‘now or never’ sales pitch. Kawasaki needs to clarify before they burn a bunch of loyal buyers who gambled a fortune on their little science experiment, myself included.
Thank you for pointing that out Spiralbrain!
A small correction, it is Supercharged and not turbocharged.
