Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2022

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE 2022

The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is certainly one of the nippiest touring motorbikes on the market. But is it also one of the best tourers? The lush equipment and electronics of Kawasaki's technological flagship offer comfort, stability and function flawlessly. You have to know how to deal with the powerful engine and somewhat sluggish turn-in behaviour, but then the Ninja H2 SX SE is fun to ride even in tight corners. Finally, the ergonomics determine whether the bike is suitable for travelling. Here, everyone has to decide for himself or herself whether he or she is comfortable with the very sporty stance. If so, the Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE is a formidable touring machine that cuts a fine figure from the motorway to the Alpine pass.

Extremely powerful engine

Extremely stable, semi-active chassis

State-of-the-art electronics

Very much feel for the front wheel

Good wind protection

Beautiful finish and large TFT display

Top brakes

Slightly sluggish turn-in behaviour

High price

Sporty seat may be too extreme for some riders

Honda CB650R 2021

Honda CB650R 2021

13 out of a possible 24 points mean 5th place in the large mid-range naked bike comparison test 2021. The Honda puts up a good fight against the technically more advanced competition and can leave a motorbike behind despite its position as an outsider. Pleasing looks, accessible riding and the low price make the shortcomings that were brought to light in the direct comparison fade into the background.
