CORPORATE HERITAGE CORPORATE RIDEOLOGY 02 03 2017 Ninja H2 & H2R Ninja H2 & H2R 2017 Kawasaki motorcycles possess both power and grace so are often recognised as being different to other bikes. This results from certain guiding principles adopted at the design stage. Rideology is Kawasaki’s rider-centric development philosophy fo- cused on how the riding experience offered by a Kawasaki is crafted, ensuring that our machines are fun to ride and rewarding to control.

  • 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2™R
    Contact: Kawasaki Media Relations 949-770-0400 ext. 2777 [email protected] www.kawasaki.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2015 KAWASAKI NINJA H2™R Built Beyond Belief The launching point for the development of the Ninja H2™R motorcycle was a strong desire to offer riders something they had never experienced before. Convinced that an extraordinary riding experience would not be found by merely building on the performance of existing models, the design team committed to developing the “ultimate motorcycle” from a clean slate. The bike needed to deliver intense acceleration and ultra-high top speed, coupled with supersport-level circuit performance. To realize this goal, help was enlisted from other companies within the Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) group, precipitating an unprecedented level of collaboration. Developing the Ninja H2R as a closed-course model allowed the unadulterated pursuit of performance, free from the limitations that street riding would impose. The result was a new model offering a sensory experience surpassing anything else that riders can find today. The Ninja H2R is powered by a supercharged engine with a compact design on par with powerplants found in liter-class supersport models. The key to achieving its incredible performance lies in the engine’s supercharger, which is a motorcycle-specific unit designed completely in-house with technology from Kawasaki’s Gas Turbine & Machinery Company, Aerospace Company and Corporate Technology Division. 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R, page 1 of 21 HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2015 KAWASAKI NINJA
