2026 Kawasaki Ninja H2 and H2R Order Period Now Open
Kawasaki announced the opening for orders on the limited production supercharged 2026 Ninja H2, Ninja H2 Carbon, and track-only Ninja H2R. All three models will only be available for customer special orders until October 31, 2025.
All three models return unchanged for 2026, including the same price tags as 2025. The 2026 Kawasaki Ninja H2 ABS is available for $32,700, while the Carbon variant comes in at $36,200. Both price tags pale in comparison to the Ninja H2R's $59,100.
All three models are powered by 998cc Inline-Four supercharged engine. On the H2 models, Kawasaki claims a peak output of 240 hp at 11,500 rpm and 104.9 lb-ft. at 11,000 rpm, while the H2R — which we remind again, is not street legal — claims 322 hp at 14,000 rpm and 121.5 lb-ft. at 12,500 rpm.
All three models share the same suspension, with a 43mm inverted Kayaba AOS-II fork up front and an Öhlins TTX36 rear shock, both fully-adjustable. The braking systems are also the same, with dual Brembo M50 monoblock calipers with 330mm discs up front, and a single 250mm disc with a two-piston caliper at the rear.
The electronics systems include a six-axis inertial measurement unit, lean-sensitive anti-lock brakes, lean-sensitive traction control, engine brake control, cornering management function, launch control, and bi-directional quick shifting.

Too expensive
When I read the title I was hoping "2-stroke" unrealistically. The first pic even showed what appeared to be an expansion chamber! Well, at least it's supercharged.
To those who say it's a too expensive toy I offer trickle down tech.
