Kawasaki Ninja H2 2016

Kawasaki Ninja H2 2016

The Ninja H2 represents a milestone in motorbike history. It is not only packed with electronic innovations, but also offers completely new technologies in terms of engine construction and mechanics. This high-tech research object of a Japanese technology company is actually for sale and can also be ridden. Basically, it rides like a normal motorbike, only with considerably more power. At first, the engine response is a challenge, but speed freaks will find a way to ride and enjoy this fascinating motorbike.

Outstanding build quality

fascinating engine with mechanical turbocharger

pull, acceleration and speed on a completely new level

narrow seat ensures safe standing - even for smaller riders

great stability

motorbike inspires a lot of confidence despite high performance

strong brakes

high-quality details

Response behaviour in the transition from pushing mode to acceleration phase not at the level of "normal" motorbikes

understeer in fast bends

from body height 185 cm it could be difficult to integrate the feet into the overall aerodynamic concept - test seat!

The KTM 1290 Super Duke R retains its brute character for 2022 if you take the beast by the horns. But the Hyper Naked from Mattighofen is also convincing in everyday use and presents itself as a mature all-round companion. Small details could use a little love, but nothing that spoils the positive overall impression of the 1290 Super Duke R.

brutal performance

accessible handling

fully adjustable and stable chassis

high quality standard tyres

comfortable seating position

acceptable fuel consumption.

Full equipment wants to be paid for

fiddly indicator operation
