Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine is strictly for expert-level, closed-course riders with serious track credentials, as it is not street legal and produces extreme, supercharger-fed power.
PurposeBuilt purely for outright top speed and record-chasing track performance rather than any form of practical transportation.
Rider FitDemands a fit, strong rider capable of managing violent acceleration forces, a committed forward riding position, and a tall 831mm seat height.
CharacterAn uncompromising, adrenaline-driven hypersport weapon that rewards precision and punishes hesitation.
Not Ideal ForThis bike is not for commuting, touring, carrying passengers, beginners, or anyone seeking comfort or everyday usability.

2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R Rider Ergonomics Assessment

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 831mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2015 Kawasaki Ninja H2R, with a cramped knee angle of around 75 degrees and a forward-leaning riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
