The 2016 Kawasaki Ninja H2 is a street legal sportbike with a supercharged 998cc inline four-cylinder configuration that is similar to modern superbike engines on a nimble chassis. It has durable flat piston crowns, a new trellis frame that is lightweight and a Kawasaki production single-sided swingarm that allows the exhaust pipe to be mounted closer to the bike’s centerline. The KYB AOS-II 43 millimeter front fork on the 2016 Kawasaki Ninja H2 allows for low friction, utilizes the multi-mode traction control, launch control and engine braking control, ABS and a quick shifter. It also comes with a new assist & slipper clutch function that gives lighter clutch operation and overcomes wheel hop on downshift.
