Three years after Kawasaki introduced the supercharged Ninja H2 and Ninja H2R, it’s now released a new supercharged motorcycle featuring the second generation Balanced Supercharged engine; the Ninja H2 SX.

Balanced Supercharged technology has been developed entirely in-house by Kawasaki with a focus on real-world street use.  Kawasaki says that the Ninja H2 SX’s 998cc liquid-cooled four-cylinder DOHC 16-valve supercharged engine offers a sensational linear power output in the low to mid-range combined with excellent fuel efficiency – better than that of the sport touring sibling Z1000SX.
