The Kawasaki Ninja H2 range has long been synonymous with high-performance madness in the production motorcycle world. However, the good news is that you don’t have to break the bank to revel in the exhilarating experience it offers.
Surprisingly, the Ninja H2 SX, set to turn six in 2024, continues to be a source of tremendous riding pleasure. The prospect of piloting this machine is even more enticing, especially after witnessing the unveiling of the new Ninja H2 Lego Technic set by the renowned Danish toymaker.
While the 197bhp produced by the Ninja H2 SX’s supercharged inline-four engine may not quite match the sheer power of the Ninja H2R (326bhp with Ram-Air), it remains an otherworldly figure for a sports tourer.
Undoubtedly, the BMW M 1000 XR may now boast superior numerical output with its 201bhp inline-four. Still, there’s a catch—it’s a recently launched model, hitting the scene at the end of ’23, and comes with a hefty price tag of nearly £24,000. Is it worth paying such a sum for just four extra horses? To put it in perspective, you wouldn’t shell out that much for four living, breathing horses! (Yes, we fact-checked it—the average cost for a horse is £4,000.)
The featured Ninja H2 SX, available on Superbike Factory for a budget-friendly £9,986, is a prime example. With a reasonable mileage of 7,263 miles, it presents an affordable opportunity to join the ranks of Ninja enthusiasts.
Adding to its allure, this Kawasaki sports a sleek all-grey paint job, which we believe is virtually unbeatable in the coolness department. The subtle green accents, paired with blacked-out five-star wheels, enhance its aesthetic appeal. And let’s not forget the delightful chirping sounds emanating from the centrifugal supercharger—a distinctive feature of the Ninja H2 series.
