Overview
The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is a sport tourer produced from 2018 through 2026. For 2026, it uses a 998 cm³ supercharged inline-four four-stroke engine producing 207 hp (154 kW) and 137.0 Nm of torque at 8,500 rpm; wet weight is 268 kg.
The engine’s torque peak at 8,500 rpm and 3.10-second 0–100 km/h time point to forceful acceleration. At 835 mm, the seat may make it harder for shorter riders to get both feet down, while the 268 kg wet weight can take effort to maneuver at low speed. Fuel consumption is 6.00 L/100 km, with a calculated full-tank range of about 317 km from the 19-liter tank. KECS electronically adjusts damping, and the rear shock also has electronic spring-preload adjustment; ABS is optional.

Pros and cons
Advantages
Strong acceleration
The supercharged engine’s 137.0 Nm torque peak and 3.10-second 0–100 km/h time make rapid acceleration a defining capability.
Adjustable suspension
KECS controls damping at both ends, and the rear shock’s electronic preload adjustment makes suspension setup easier to adapt.
Useful tank range
The 19-liter tank provides a calculated range of about 317 km at the stated 6.00 L/100 km fuel consumption.
Things to consider
Heavy at low speed
At 268 kg wet, it can take more effort to push around or maneuver slowly.
Tall seat
The 835 mm seat height may make firm footing difficult for shorter riders.
Chain upkeep
The chain final drive needs periodic cleaning and adjustment.

Estimated from your height: 79 cm
How to measure
Stand barefoot with your back to a wall. Hold a book firmly between your legs, then measure from the floor to the top edge of the book.
Estimated ground reach
Balls of both feet likely down
You should reach on both sides, but probably not with your heels fully down.
Seat height

Approx. loaded height
805 mm
Estimate assumes about 30 mm of suspension sag. Seat width, footwear, luggage and suspension settings can change real reach. Always sit on the motorcycle before buying.
