Rider Profile

Best ForFor expert riders only. Its 240hp supercharged engine demands serious skill, respect and electronic-aid awareness; not remotely a machine for novices.
PurposeA supercharged hyperbike built for outright speed, ferocious acceleration and high-speed sport riding on track days and open roads.
Rider FitCommitted sport ergonomics: 825mm seat, low clip-ons, rear-set pegs and a 238kg heft. Aggressive lean-forward stance that punishes low-speed slogs.
CharacterA brutally fast, intoxicating showpiece with signature supercharger whine, top-tier Brembo/Ohlins hardware and mirror-black paint. Raw, exclusive and theatrical.
Not Ideal ForBeginners, commuters, off-roaders, or anyone wanting relaxed touring, easy city runs or comfortable two-up riding.

2020 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 825mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with balls of both feet on the 2020 Kawasaki Ninja H2, with a cramped knee angle of around 70 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.
