Overview
The 2026 Kawasaki Ninja H2 is a sportbike in the Ninja family, produced from 2015 through 2026. Its supercharged 998.0 cm³ inline-four makes 240 hp (179 kW) and 142.2 Nm of torque at 11,000 rpm; wet weight is 238 kg.
The engine's peak torque arrives at high rpm, and the Ninja H2 reaches 60 mph in 2.60 seconds. Its 826 mm seat may make it harder for shorter riders to put both feet down, while 238 kg can make low-speed maneuvering demanding. The adjustable front fork and Öhlins TTX36 rear shock let riders tune suspension settings, and ABS-equipped Brembo Stylema front brakes provide braking support. Fuel consumption is 8.50 L/100 km, with about 200 km of range from the 17 L tank.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Adjustable suspension
The front fork and Öhlins TTX36 rear shock both offer damping and preload adjustments, giving riders ways to tailor suspension behavior.
ABS braking
ABS is fitted at both ends, with dual 330 mm front discs and Brembo Stylema calipers.
Rapid acceleration
Its supercharged engine takes the Ninja H2 from 0 to 60 mph in 2.60 seconds.
Things to consider
Substantial wet weight
At 238 kg wet, the Ninja H2 can take more effort to maneuver at walking pace.
Shorter range
The 17 L tank and 8.50 L/100 km fuel consumption work out to about 200 km of range.
Chain final drive
The chain needs regular cleaning and adjustment, unlike a shaft drive.
