Rider Profile

Best ForThis machine demands an experienced, highly disciplined rider who respects supercharged power delivery and can manage a bike that accelerates harder than almost anything else on the road.
PurposeBuilt primarily for high-speed thrills, top-end acceleration, and track-day bragging rights rather than practical transportation.
Rider FitRiders need a fit, athletic build to handle the aggressive forward-leaning stance, high seat height, and physical demands of controlling explosive acceleration.
CharacterA statement machine for adrenaline seekers and horsepower obsessives who want cutting-edge engineering, exclusivity, and visceral speed above all else.
Not Ideal ForThis is not suited for new riders, commuters seeking comfort, or anyone wanting a relaxed, practical, or passenger-friendly ride.

2017 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon 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 2017 Kawasaki Ninja H2 Carbon, 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.
