(much like the acceleration of
the Kawasaki 750SS Mach IV,
also known as the "H2," of the
early '70s). Being "Fun to Ride,"
Kawasaki says, is one its guiding
principles and strong accelera-
tion was considered to be a—if
not thee—major factor in deliver-
ing rider exhilaration, aka, fun.
To achieve this goal, Kawasaki
fitted the Ninja H2R with a su-
percharged engine that boasts
power output in the region of 300
horsepower. Yet it has a compact
design similar to power units
found in the supersport category.
Kawasaki has yet announced
a delivery date or MSRP, but we
can have fun guessing.
Kawasaki says that the
objectives for the Ninja H2R
chassis, which features a
trellis frame, were to provide
stability at ultra-high track
speeds, and offer cornering
performance to be able to
enjoy circuit riding. At the
same time, it needed to
have an accommodating
character.
