LEAKED: First Image of the Kawasaki Ninja H2 Street Bike

Just last week the Kawasaki Ninja H2R, KHI’s supercharged track-only 300hp beast of a hyperbike, debuted at INTERMOT. The reception of the H2R was astounding, and Kawasaki has certainly laid down the gauntlet with the design, philosophy, and execution of its latest Ninja.

Kawasaki’s test riders are already reporting on social media speeds over 210 mph, and we eagerly await Kawasaki’s street-legal Ninja H2.

Set to debut at the AIMExpo in two weeks’ time, it seems the first image of the machine has leaked ahead of schedule. Caught in what looks like an early release of Kawasaki’s next teaser video, we can make out the lines of the Ninja H2 street bike.

A shorter windscreen, mirrors, lights, twin-canned exhaust, and an absence of wings are readily seen in the enhanced image below. We will have to wait and see if the Kawasaki Ninja H2 retains its 300hp power figure, though if it doesn’t, we imagine Kawasaki hasn’t made it difficult to un-cork the beast of a machine.
