Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2018

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2018

Kawasaki turns the H2 into a fascinating sports tourer. The H2 SX is a new motorbike and, apart from the supercharger and the striking front end, has virtually nothing in common with the fearsome H2 and H2 R. It offers great comfort and shines with the familiar and universal virtues of a sports tourer. It offers great comfort and shines with the familiar and universal virtues of a sports tourer. On top of that, you enjoy breathtaking acceleration.

Fascinating power unit with high torque and strong pull with great responsiveness

great brakes and very stable in the braking zone

pleasant travelling comfort even at high speeds

high-quality driving assistance systems

12000km service interval.

Heating handle control a bit fiddly

electronic chassis would be practical and would fit the universal character very well
