The Kawasaki Ninja H2 was a street-legal version of the H2R model, which shared many components, such as the 998cc engine, the supercharger, the trellis frame, aerodynamic bodywork, single-sided swingarm, powerful Brembo brakes, and compact superbike dimensions.
The bike featured a supercharger that fed the engine with cool, pressurized air, was designed to allow high-efficiency operation over a wide range of conditions and didn't require a large, heavy intercooler to cool the compressed air.
In 2018, the Japanese motorcycle manufacturer released the Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon, a limited-release street-legal production motorcycle available only in select markets and for a short period of time.
The bike featured a 998cc engine designed to handle stress better than a same-size aspirated engine and featured cast pistons instead of forged ones that provided better strength and handled the high temperature generated by the supercharged engine much better.
As or the power figures, the 2018 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon took its thrust from a 998cc four-stroke four-cylinder liquid-cooled supercharged engine that delivered an output power of 200 hp with a peak at 12,500 rpm and 133 Nm (98 lb-ft) of torque available at 10,500 rpm.
The braking system matched the performance of the bike with two 330 mm Brembo discs and four-piston Brembo calipers on the front and a 250 mm disc squeezed by a two-piston Brembo caliper on the rear.
