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.

2019 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 2019 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.

⚠ Safety Recalls (1)

POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION Nov 2020 · 20V676000

Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A. (KMC) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Ninja H2 SX, Ninja H2 SXSE, and 2019-2020 Ninja H2 SXSE+ motorcycles. In the event of a gear misengagement the engine electronic control unit (ECU) programming doesn't have the capability to suppress high RPM during transmission. If the transmission gears are not properly engaged while shifting into 4th or 5th gear, high engine RPM can cause the output gears of 4th or 5th to fracture when the gears re-engage.

Risk: Damaged gears and the inability to shift can cause the engine to lock up, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: KMC will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the FI-ECU software, free of charge. Owners are advised to not ride their motorcycle until the repair has been completed. The recall began November 16, 2020. Owners may contact KMC customer service at 1-866-802-9381. KMC's number for this recall is MC20-10.
