India Kawasaki Motor is all set to deliver the absolute bonkers Ninja H2R to a a customer in the country today. The 2019 Kawasaki Ninja H2R is the most powerful production bike on sale at present and churns out in excess of 300 bhp. The bike, which is not street-legal, is priced at Rs. 72 lakh (ex-showroom) and is the only of its kind coming to India. It's not clear who the lucky owner is, as the customer wants to keep his identity under wraps. The Kawasaki Ninja H2R joins its tamer versions the Ninja H2 and the Ninja H2 SX, with a number of units of both motorcycles already sold in the country. The H2R is almost twice the price in comparison and boasts of incredible acceleration prowess as well.
Speaking on bringing the Ninja H2R to the country, India Kawasaki Motor - Managing Director, Naoki Matsumoto said, “We are indeed happy to deliver our flagship model, the Ninja H2R, in India. Kawasaki has stunned the world with this model. The Ninja H2R is the world's supercharged hypersport motorcycle and to deliver one unit in India is certainly a proud moment for Kawasaki India.”
The Kawasaki Ninja H2R gets a titanium exhaust system and a tonne of riding aids for the track
Powered by a 998 cc in-line four-cylinder engine, the motor comes with a supercharger that helps produce more power at low revs while maintaining higher efficiency and minimal heat gain. The motor manages to belt out 308 bhp in stock form, which can be further increased to 321 bhp at 14,000 rpm with the Ram Air intake. Peak torque output stands at 165 Nm available at 12,500 rpm. The engine is paired with a 6-speed gearbox and gets the Kawasaki Quick Shifter, hydraulic clutch and back torque limiter. The bike has managed to clock a top speed of over 400 kmph.
The Kawasaki Ninja H2R is aided by a host of electronics including the launch control mode, cornering management system, engine brake control, traction control.

The bike gets Brembo sourced disc brakes at the front and rear.
The track-only Ninja H2R also gets the river mark logo from the manufacturer that is only reserved for models with historical significance, while the big highlight is the self-healing silver-mirror paint scheme on the bike.

To Be Delivered Today; Priced At Rs. 72 Lakh. India Kawasaki Motor is all set to deliver the absolute bonkers Ninja H2R to a a customer in the country today. The 2019 Kawasaki Ninja H2R is the most powerful production bike on sale at present and churns out in excess of 300 bhp.
Holding the merit of being the fastest production motorcycle in the world, Kawasaki India delivered a single unit of the Ninja H2R in India yesterday. And we say single unit because; the company runs a limited production for the motorcycle for each year, out of which only one was allotted to India for 2019.
The hefty pricing of the Ninja H2R is a result of 50 per cent custom duty levied by the Indian government. The actual cost of the bike is comparatively lower. Since it is imported from Japan as a completely-built-up (CBU) unit, the bike demands a huge premium. You can't ride the H2R on the road as it's not road-legal.
A man in Pune has bought one and it will be the only one for 2019 since Kawi builds these in limited numbers. Owning a Kawasaki Ninja H2R is nothing like owning a regular motorcycle. There's a great degree of responsibility.
Main Problem - Ninja H2R is NOT A STREET LEGAL motorcycle. It is meant only for race track riding. So you can't buy it and ride it to your home. If you want to install any kit and want to ride in your city your have to take on own risk.
Kawasaki H2R is an illegal bike in India because it does not meet the emission norms set by the Indian government. India has strict emission norms for two-wheelers, and the Kawasaki H2R does not comply with them. Therefore, it cannot be registered or ridden on Indian roads.
The Kawasaki Ninja H2 price in India starts from INR 43.70 lakhs onwards. However, you can buy the used Kawasaki Ninja H2 bikes that fall in the price range of INR 19 lakhs to INR 21 lakhs.
The most expensive Kawasaki two wheeler is Kawasaki Ninja H2 priced at Rs 79.90 Lakh. The most popular models for Kawasaki includes 4 Super, 8 Sports, 3 Sports Naked, 2 Commuter, 2 Cruiser, 2 Cafe Racer, 1 Adventure Tourer, 11 Off Road and 10 Dirt.
