Kawasaki has listed the 2021 Ninja H2R motorcycle on its India website. The bike has been priced at Rs. 79.90 lakh (ex-showroom).



The Ninja H2R is built for the track and is not street legal. It comes with a trellis frame, carbon fibre bodywork and does not have a headlamp or turn indicators. The bike comes equipped with 43 mm inverted fork suspension at the front and an Ohlins mono-shock at the rear.



The Ninja H2R is powered by a supercharged 998cc, liquid-cooled, 4-cylinder engine that produces 306 BHP @ 14,000 rpm (322 BHP with a RAM air intake) and 165 Nm @ 12,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission.



Stopping power comes from twin 330 mm Brembo discs with dual semi-floating 4-piston calipers at the front and a single 250 mm disc at the rear paired with a 2-piston caliper.

Other features include a titanium exhaust, Kawasaki Quick Shifter, Kawasaki Cornering Management Function and a digital instrument cluster that displays the bank angle along with other information.

My eyes lit up looking at the price!! Ok, given its a technological wonder and exclusivity guaranteed, but how do you justify 80L to even yourself? Who would dare to take this to a track?

Truly a marvel of engineering indeed, and a scary one too. With no rival, this behemoth of power is for only those who are committed to the track and know their machines well. A halo for what Kawasaki stands for ! Though the video below might not be a very fair comparison, it does show up to an extent what the machine is capable of !

Let us hope for their rivals to use the technology at a far lower price point to effect the trickle down effect at the earliest. Even if they are able to keep it away from their European or Japanese counterparts, the 'other Asian brands' might start selling them for a lower price.
