2027 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Debuts with 206bhp Engine; Will it Come to India?

Kawasaki has revealed the 2027 Ninja H2 in the UK, bringing mechanical, electronic and emission-related updates to its supercharged litre-class motorcycle. The updated Kawasaki Ninja H2 continues with a 998cc supercharged inline-four engine but now produces 206 hp and 135 Nm, down from the 240 hp and 142 Nm offered by the previous version. The new motorcycle is priced at £28,600 in the UK, equivalent to around Rs. 36.9 lakh.

The 2027 model year Kawasaki Ninja H2 gets a 998cc supercharged engine that has undergone several changes. Kawasaki has redesigned the supercharger impeller and intake system, while the pistons, cylinder head, cylinder, crankshaft and camshafts have also been revised. The motorcycle gets updated throttle bodies and a new single-exit exhaust system. Kawasaki says the revised engine has been developed to meet Euro 5+ emission standards while improving torque delivery in the low- and mid-range.

Despite the extensive engine revisions, peak output is lower than before. The 2027 Ninja H2 produces 206bhp and 135Nm of torque in comparison to 240bhp and 142Nm of torque produced by its predecessor.
