300hp Kawasaki Ninja H2 and H2R Specs & Details Revealed

It's finally here, the announcement of the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R and it's big: producing an earth-moving 300hp, the Ninja H2R is the most powerful motorcycle ever produced.

2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2 and H2R

Built as a race-only bike, the H2R is said to produce a whooping 300hp max--straight off the showroom floor--with a supercharged 998cc, inline-4 cylinder. No signals or mirrors and full-slicks, 120/600 R17 up front and 190/650 R17 in the back, the H2R is only designed for the race track. Does that mean no VIN? We don't know yet, as Kawasaki has only unveiled so much information and not said anything about the H2, which will be released at the EICMA show.

Horsepower

We didn't think we'd see a 300hp motorcycle, but the H2 is living up to its hype. This power number makes the Ninja H2R the highest-horespower motorcycle ever manufactured, beating out Kawasaki's own ZX-14R. We aren't sure of the power output of the H2 street-version yet or if it'll feature the full carbon fiber body, but we'd bet those power numbers will also beat out the ZX-14R.

It's rare to see hp figures from manufacturers and when they do share them, they're often sand-bagging. We'd image if the street version doesn't make 300hp, it'll do it with minor tuning.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries

Just like the PR speak from the teasers, Kawasaki used multiple divisions inside the Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd. (KHI) to produce the bike, which is why the Kawasaki River Mark is proudly displayed on the front.
