Positioned in Kawasaki's sport motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R pairs a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line four, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 76.0 x 55.0 mm (3.0 x 2.2 inches) with a 8.3:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Ninja H2R measures 216.1 kg (476 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 831 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,450 mm (57.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.03-liter (4.5 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
