What Makes The Kawasaki Ninja H2R A Motorcycle Like No Other
By CHRIS LITTLECHILD
In 2016, racing superstar Kenan Sofuoglu, who boasts the world record for most Supersport World Championship wins, set out to put the Kawasaki Ninja H2R to the test.
Sofuoglu reached a maximum speed of 400km/h (249 mph) with the Kawasaki Ninja H2R, pushing the land record for a motorcycle in production.
“The top speed we get to in the world championship races is about 300 km/h (186 mph), so 400 km/h is a really high speed,” Sofuoglu said.
400 km/h is impressive but so are the machine's other specs. At 12,500 rpm of torque and capable of outputting 14,000 rpm, the 2024 model is as mighty as ever.
