Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+: a true hyper tourer arrives at EICMA 2018

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+ – The world of fast tourism will have to deal with the arrival of the new one Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+, a motorbike created to satisfy a very transversal public, made up of those who use two wheels as a means of daily travel or for long distances, perhaps even for a holiday for two, but always in the name of the riding experience and performance.

Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+: how it's made

The Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE+ was designed for a select, demanding public and does not fear any judgement, not even the most severe, being able to put on the bench a very high construction quality, a very successful engine and many accessories. The flagship is represented by the electronically controlled suspensions KECS (acronym for Kawasaki Electronic Control Suspension): essentially, when the desired Riding Mode is selected (you can choose between Sport, Road, Rain, Rider) also via Bluetooth, the mechanism adapts the set-up of the motorbike depending on whether you prefer comfort or a sportier ride. The specific App also allows you to observe and store driving parameters, set maintenance intervals, trip logs and even manage incoming calls and messages on your smartphone. The color TFT panel of this "hyper tourer" in addition to the canonical information, provides many other decidedly less ordinary ones, such as the flood angle, the compressor pressure, the average consumption, the G-force, external temperature and even the voltage of batteries.

The trellis frame guarantees great handling but also an immediate driving feeling. A great deal of work has also been done to give the Ninja H2 SX SE+ an adequate braking system. The choice fell on a system with Brembo Stylema calipers derived from racing, but rightly modified to be suitable for daily use. The bike has been painted with Kawasaki's special High Durable paint which allows small scratches to be easily corrected. The supercharged engine is capable of reaching the power of 210 hp at 11 thousand rpm, while the torque is over 137 Nm. All this, with the delivery curve filled practically to perfection by the supercharging, pushes its 256 kg in order to it drives with decidedly adrenaline-filled accelerations, especially if you are in Germany or on the straight of a circuit, where the H2 SX reaches 260-280 km/h very quickly, and then begins to slow down the rise in speed towards sidereal values, close to and higher than 300 indicated.

Among the options there are the "clean fit" side bags, of great capacity but perfect to be inserted into the elegant and slender line of a motorbike destined to write another page in motor touring.
