VOL. 51 ISSUE 40 OCTOBER 7, 2014 P39
A
fter weeks of teasers,
sound bites and video
clips, Kawasaki finally
yanked the covers off its latest
secret project—the supercharged
Ninja H2R. In the weeks lead-
ing up to its debut, Kawa-
saki hinted—well, more than
hinted—that the H2R was all
about speed, and they weren't
kidding. It's so fast and power-
ful that it can only be ridden
on the track. The H2R comes
fitted with slick racing tires, no
mirrors, no blinkers and track
mufflers, and is claimed to
pump out about 300 horse-
power from its 998cc inline-
four supercharged engine.
Kawasaki says that when
the Ninja H2R was conceived,
the driving concept behind
its development was to offer
the kind of acceleration most
riders had never experienced
Kawasaki Ninja H2R
