2020 Kawasaki Ninja H2R
Contents
The 2020 Ninja H2R is quite literally the most powerful supersport motorcycle to ever emerge from Kawasaki. It is also the most powerful motorcycle in the entirety of the 2020 model year, across all manufacturers. It is the first of what many enthusiasts (and even manufacturers themselves) are calling hypersport bikes, due to the fact that it produces 310 crank HP and 115 lbs-ft of crank torque from a supercharged 998cc inline 4 in a motorcycle that has a full wet weight of only 476 lbs.
We have kept the H2R separate from the 2020 H2 for the reason that the H2R is not street legal, due to the fact that it uses Kawasaki racing derived components, does not have mirrors, indicators, and uses racing slick tires. Apart from that, the H2R uses an extremely strong welded steel trellis frame along with multiple carbon fiber fairings, and even winglets on the front of the bike near the handlebars and aerodynamic deflectors in front of the knees.
Another interesting fact of the H2R is that it currently holds the unofficial top speed record for factory stock motorcycles, at 250 MPH (or 400 KM/H), set using a 2016 version of the bike in Turkey.
The 2020 Kawasaki Ninja H2R starts at $55,000 US/$61,200 CA
