Ninja H2 is a supercharged sports bike in the Ninja series. It features variable-speed centrifugal-type supercharger. Able to attain a top speed of 331-400 km h (206-249 mph) gives the rider an epic grin on his face and sounds exciting enough to everyone who loves motorcycle.

Looks and Design

Kawasaki H2 is another masterpiece created by the Kawasaki Motorcycles. It looks so awesome as she has been brought directly from an alien planet. Stunning looks and advanced features look so sharp, and the way the rear view mirror with the attachment which connects it with the rear view mirror looks like an aggressive beast looking at you ready to devour the road ahead of it.

The design is such that with the speed she goes it's like she will take off and fly far away. With just single seat option you have but, it adds so much to the aggressive look. The speedometer is a combination of analogue and digital looks. So simple and, all the things are positioned so well and it's easy to use.

Performance

In terms of performance, it can blow your mind off. Currently, it is the only bike which has the supercharger. This supercharger is not what they have got from others manufacturers of researchers, they have developed this supercharger themselves which can rotate at around 130000 rpm giving her 200 bhp at 11000 rpm, wow!

The power is linear and throughout the rev band, where every bike stop accelerating she will keep on pushing harder and harder. This bike has superbike power and performance but not the weight. Still, it's not like she cares about the weight with this much power and torque around to deal with the weight. At any gear you are, she is always ready to lift its front wheel in straight line and do an amazing wheely.

Another thing what Kawasaki has done great is its shape. You would think that they have designed to make it look like an alien bike from space, but not they have designed it to make it more aerodynamic each part has been designed with the help of one aerospace company. They have given her so much stability and reduced drag coefficient in corners because of suspension and, the grip offered by tyres its good in cornering but you will feel the weight while going around the corners because you would have to work a bit hard to hit the apex it's not like you can't do it.

Brakes are really good but also again the weight of the bike affects the braking distance a bit. Now you will be thinking; what type of superbike has been made by Kawasaki, Kawasaki has not been made for a quick lap of the track, yes she is super fast but not around the corner which effects the time but it's so much fun.

The traction control system and launch control system is really good, it won't bite u back even if you make mistakes. It's so much fun to ride her, you will always have a grin on our face. She is a bike which will make you push harder and go faster like a drug of speed which can be controlled by the twist of your hand.

Even the seating position is perfect, it's so comfortable to ride her even while you go for short distance cruise or for aggressive laps.

She needs high attention if you got one, you can't keep her just as a showcase, you need to take her to spin in every few days. It's not just hers, it's for every sports super, hypercar or bikes. They are meant to be taken for a spin.

Final verdict:

Looks and design: 9.5/10

Specs & features: 9/10

Dynamics & performance: 8.5/10

Safety & quality: 9/10

If you love riding alone and have enough money to buy a beast. Which can blow ur mind in speed and aggressive performance and looks? It's one of few bikes which has that kind of presence even other sports bike riders will ask for a pic.

And also if you are never going on a track for a quick lap rather then for a lap with fun. If you want H2 for a quick lap to go for H2R it's much crazier than H2 and that much more expensive but not street legal.
