2019 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE Plus Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Kawasaki's sport touring motorcycle platform, the 2019 Kawasaki Ninja H2 SX SE Plus relies on a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 200 HP (146 kW) at 11,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 137.3 Nm (101.3 lb-ft) at 9,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 200.4 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (9,500 rpm) and peak power (11,000 rpm), the engine character is placing it firmly in high-revving supersport territory where top-end breathing dominates.
On the scales, the Ninja H2 SX SE Plus measures 262 kg (578 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.76 HP/kg (1.31 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 835 mm (32.9 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,480 mm (58.3 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 19-liter (5 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.7 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 333 km (207 miles) between fill-ups.
