Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+ 2019
The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+ is clearly the spearhead of Kawa's sports touring range, at least when it comes to performance, technology and extravagant design! Just like its siblings, the H2 in the tourer version with electronic chassis knows how to shine with a polarising design. Once attracted to the engine's supercharger, the incredible boost pressure won't let you escape its spell! The H2 is clearly a superlative sports tourer - through and through. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea. However, if you are into performance and long tours, this bike is probably one of the best choices on the market! Provided you have the budget to afford this admittedly not very cheap machine. In relation to what you get, however, the price Kawasaki charges is more than fair.
